Notes
|
|
|
Concentrate on what is happening now and your plans for
the future - try not to dwell on past problems
|
|
|
|
|
Make a note of the problems that need to be dealt with
- find solutions and plan how to deal with each one. Then
set priorities - tackle them one at a time - the most important
first
|
|
|
|
|
Don't take on too much - be realistic about what you can
and cannot handle and don't be afraid to say "no"
|
|
|
|
|
Communicate with others - share your feelings with someone
you trust
|
|
|
|
|
If possible plan a change of scenary and day to day routine
- try to take a short break occasionally
|
|
|
|
|
If work is a part of the problem try and establish the
aspects causing stress and how they might be dealt with
(eg with delegation, saying "no", getting support,
changing jobs)
|
|
|
|
|
Plan your time and don't forget to include breaks. Making
time for relaxation and leisure activities on a regular
basis (and sticking to it) is important
|
|
|
|
|
Exercise regularly - aim for at least 15 minutes a day
|
|
|
|
|
Find out more about for example relaxation
techniques and stress-free diets and incorporate these
into your planned lifestyle changes
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, do seek help through your family doctor if you
feel it is necessary
