  • Determine what is actually causing you stress.  Is it a particular person, a situation you are experiencing, a particular event, a relationship?  Is your plate too full?  Have you taken on too many obligations and now you are feeling anxious, nervous or fearful? 
  • Make it a priority to set your personal boundaries and then live by them. 
  •  Get rid of any activity, person, life situation that no longer serves you.
  • It is  okay to say "no".  If you are asked to do something you don't want to do say,"no".  It is also ok to reset expectations. Stop biting off more than you can chew.
  • Take a look at your lifestyle. What can you improve or change? Do you need more sleep, are you eating healthy foods, are you getting enough exercise? What is it that you are doing that might eventually lead to health problems?
  •  Eliminate sugar, caffeine, alcohol and any other stimulate that may put unnecessary stress on your liver.
  •  Focus on the good in your life and keep a gratitude journal. What we focus on influences how we feel throughout the day. Concentrating on the good in your life increases your overall feeling of well being and decreases that overwhelmed, stressed out feeling.
