Stress is a normal part of our daily life.We can not eliminate them at all, but we can find ways to prevent or at least to release them.Here are some ways we can deal with everyday sources of stress.

1.Eliminate as many sources of stress as we can. 

      If crowds bother us, just go to supermarket when we know the lines won’t be too long;Try renting videotapes rather than going to crowded movie theaters;If we are always running late, get a pencil and paper and see how we are actually spending our time;We may be able to solve our problems (and de-stress our lives a bit) just by being realistic.If we can’t find the time for all the activities that are important to us, maybe we are trying to do too much. Again, make a list of what we do during the day and how much each activity takes. Then cut back.

2.Avoid predictably stressful situations. 

      If a certain sport or game makes us tense (whether it’s football or tennis), decline the invitation to play. After all, the point of these activities is to have a good time. If we know we won’t, there’s no reason to play.If we can’t remove the stress,remove ourselves. Slip away once in a while for some private time. These quiet moments may give us a fresh perspective on our problems.Competing with others,whether in accomplishments, appearance, or possessions, is an avoidable source of stress. We might know people who do all they can to provoke envy in others.While it may seem easy to say we should be satisfied with what we have, it’s the truth. Stress from this kind of jealousy is self’inflicted.

　　Labor-saving devices, such as cell phones or internet, often encourage us to cram too many activities into each day. Before we buy new equipment, be sure that it will really improve our lives. Be aware that taking care of equipment and getting it repaired can be stressful.

3.Try doing only one thing at a time. 

       For example, when we’re riding our exercise bikes, we don’t have to listen to the  radio or watch

television.Sometimes it’s okay to do nothing.If we feel stress(or anything else) is getting the better of us, we can ask our friends or parents for help.If cannot solve the problem, we had better seekprofessional help—a doctor or psychologist.

      Early signs of excess stress are loss of a sense of well-being and reluctance to get up in the morning to face another day, once we had such kind of feeling, we might as well to reduce them at once before it is too late. And hope all friends here will be safe and sound , as well as happy, all the time.
