Getting started on overcoming stress

1. Seek out social support, dont isolate yourself. Spend time with your family, church folks, groups and club. Talk with your friends or make one.

2. Practice shrug therapy.
   You cannot control everything in life you should understand that and how you react to those things matters. Don't get upset over everything. Just shrug it off, shrugging doesn't mean you don't care ; it simply means you acknowledge that there is nothing you can do at the moment to change the situation

3. Find your comfort zone.
   Its not every opportunity or promotion you jump at, you need to understand that more responsibility, more salary also have it disadvantages more stress. Stay where you can manage yourself.

4. Nutrition, proven supplements, healthy diet and exercise. Very very important

5. Schedule time to relax
   Out of no time, there is time. This does not mean that you are lazy or selfish or slacking off. Its a way of recharging your batteries. Relax in any way you can

DID YOU KNOW?
big stress or little stress - your body reacts the same way. The human body doesn't differentiate between a major or minor stress. Regardless of the catalyst, a typical stress reaction floods the body with a wave of 1,400 biochemical events. If this happens too frequently, we age prematurely, our cognitive function is affected, and we are drained of energy and clarity.
