Stress is a fact of life. However you should not allow stress to undermind you. You cannot always step out of stresses way when it visits, but there are some things you can do to keep the visit short.

 Here are a few tips for keeping stress and anxiety under control in turbulent times:

• Focus on today, not yesterday, you cannot always undo what’s done. Worries about the past or the future can undermine your attempt to accomplish anything in the present. When you feel yourself growing anxious, concentrate on what you can do right now, then take the Nike people’s advice and, just do it.

• Try to identify your worries and/or fears. Sort out your feeling so you know exactly what you’re worried about. Overcoming a vague dread is difficult, but once you’ve got a specific target, you’ll be able to find ways to deal with your fear directly.

Perhaps most important thing to remember is:

.  Look for positive energy. Don’t hang out with people whose anger or depression spills over onto you—find friends who support you and offer encouragement. Watch hopeful movies, listen to upbeat music. The more positive energy in your life, the better you’ll be able to keep stress at bay.
