7 tips to decrease stress
Below are seven tips that some people find useful in reducing stress. Although they appear simple, they are sometimes hard to apply. A psychologist could help you determine what strategies are best for you, and help you incorporate them into your life.

1. talk to people: share your feelings and concerns with friends and loved ones;
2. take breaks when working: take time for yourself and relax, even if it is only for a few minutes;
3. strive for balance: sometimes one aspect of our lives can suck up most of our energy. Try to maintain a balance between all aspects of our lives such as work, leisure, and family;
4. take one step at a time: Try to plan and organize your day. Break large tasks that overwhelm you into smaller parts;
5. keep expectations realistic: because humans are not perfect, allow yourself to make mistakes.
6. be active: get outside, exercise and enjoy the fresh air;
7. get rest: make sure you get the sleep that your body needs.
