Reframe problems so they’re positive opportunities.

Think of things that improve your mindset instead of focusing on the negative.

If something or someone is causing you stress, it’s easy to focus on the negative and become even more stressed. To break this vicious cycle, recognize that you’re feeling anxious or overwhelmed, but take a few moments to find something positive.

For example, if a deadline at work is leaving you drained, remind yourself that finishing the project will give you new opportunities.

  • Struggling to turn the problem into a positive one? Sometimes it can be hard to see a silver lining in a stressful situation. In these cases, even thinking about an unrelated thing that makes you happy, like your pet, a good song on the radio, or an upcoming trip, can improve your mood.

Focus on things you can control.

Don’t dwell on the overwhelming number of things you have to do.

If you start worrying about everything that you have to accomplish, you might feel so stressed that you don’t even want to begin! Instead, pick 1 thing to think about and consider how you can deal with it before you begin on your next task.

  • It might help to make a list of the things that you need to do or that are worrying you. Pick 1 thing on the list to work on or even worry about, but don’t let yourself think about the rest of the list.

Organize your time if you’re feeling overwhelmed.

Schedule time to accomplish your goals to manage your time better.

Does it feel like your to-do list just keeps getting longer? Having a packed schedule can make you feel anxious, especially if you procrastinate. Instead of overextending yourself, organize your time so you can achieve your goals.

  • Feel free to say “no” to people if they’re asking you to do things that you don’t have time for.
  • Break up big projects into smaller, manageable tasks so you’re more likely to achieve them.

Avoid or cut out things that cause you stress.

Take control of your environment and avoid people that make you stressed.

Identify what causes you stress—the news, a packed schedule, talking with a certain friend—and find ways to reduce the stress. This might mean turning off the news, saying “no” when people ask you to do things for them, or limiting how much time you spend around a friend that makes you feel overwhelmed.

  • If you’re feeling exhausted from too much going on in your life, try to cut out activities or tasks that aren’t totally necessary. Focus on what you have to do and make time for yourself.

Reach out to friends or family to talk about how you’re feeling.

Stress can make you feel angry, isolated, or depressed if you keep it to yourself. Don’t be afraid to talk about things you’re struggling with—remember, your loved ones care about you and want to help!

  • You might be surprised at how much better you feel after talking with a friend. If this really helps you, maybe plan on meeting up with a friend every week to just vent and be there for one another. Aim for 7 to 9 hours of sleep do you feel fully rested the next day. We all know how a bad night’s sleep makes us irritable and stressed the next day, so prioritize your sleep. Go to bed earlier or try to squeeze in a power nap or two during the day so you feel better equipped to handle stress.
  • If you’re stressed, you might have a hard time falling asleep, or the lack of sleep might be causing the stress. This is why good sleep can be so important!
  • Set yourself up for a good night’s sleep—dim the lighting, avoid screens, and cut out caffeine in the hours before you turn.
