Hi there,

Stress is actually one of the biggest problems we as a society is facing at the moment.  I've been there and got the t-shirt when it comes to stress so can talk to you about it from first hand experience.

You really need to identify what is stressing you and what triggers stress in your life.

Then you need to change your life to get rid of the stress triggers.

I know that can be easier said than done, but too much stress will kill you!  Quite literally.

There may be stress triggers you really can't change, in which case, can you either change your response so they don't stress you or do something to reduce rather than remove the stress?

I can recommend physical exercise.  I started jogging and cycling four or five times a week after my stress breakdown and found that helped me deal with it better.  I also buried myself in self help books and started to change how I thought about the world - The Secret was a movie I found in this period which helped me to change my viewpoint.

Reducing your stress is something you can do - you just need to take action and identify the stress triggers in your life and then remove or reduce them.

Hope that helps :)
