• Manage your time. Planning and managing your time well can be a huge help in easing stress in your life. By going through problem scenarios in your mind and preparing for them, you can change the circumstances. ·
• Get enough shuteye. Being constantly sleep deprived can affect a person's concentration and productivity. Lack of sleep also impairs body functioning.·
• Get moving. Exercising can release feel-good hormones. Choose a body-revving activity you enjoy. It can be running, dancing, kettlebells, swimming, yoga, or some other form of exercise. Make sure you don't have health issues before beginning an exercise regimen.·
• Eat well. Opt for healthy eats. Veer away from foods that are heavily promoted on television but are laden with additives. Go for all-natural & anti-inflammatory foods.·

• Own a furbaby. Having a pet can bring out the loving instincts of a person and ease stress. A pooch or cat can offer unconditional love. ·

• Get intimate with your mate. There are studies that show that women may manifest lesser stress response after engaging in 'positive physical contact.' Lots of men, on the other hand, tend to have greater sex drive when they're stressed out. ·
