While it is impossible to live completely free of stress (压力), it is possible to prevent stress as well as
reduce its effect when it can't be avoided. The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the
following suggestions for ways to deal with stress.
Try physical activity
When you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing (释放) the pressure (压力) through exercise or
physical activity. Running, walking, playing tennis and working in your garden are just some of the activities
you might try.
Take care of yourself
You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest. If you easily get angry and cannot sleep
well enough, or if you're not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations.
If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should go to see a doctor.
Make time for yourself
Schedule time (确定时间) for both work and entertainment. Don't forget, play can be just as important
to your well-being (幸福) as work. You need a break from your daily routine (日常事务) to just relax and
have fun. Go window-shopping or work on a hobby. Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do
something you enjoy.
Make a list of things to do
Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that "there's so much to do,and not enough time".
Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve
anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then _____, check off each task as it is
completed. Set out to do the most important tasks first.
