| Tips to Reduce Stress |
|
| Fear, uncertainty and change cause stress. A little stress can motivate; a lot of stress can hurt. |
Take a deep breath
Taking a few deep breaths can be a powerful way to lower your blood pressure and slow your pulse. You feel calmer.
|
Reflect on the stressor
Focus on the cause of your stress, and think of steps to take control, if you can, or let it go, if you can’t.
|
Take care of yourself
Exercise and eat a healthy diet. To keep it interesting, try something different.

| "I started going to yoga in September. It has really helped all those aches and pains I was so used to having. I also take my grandchildren to yoga, and it is a special time for them to be with me. I have been trying to do more types of activites instead of just sitting all day and evening." —PEBB member |
