Be Good to your Body!
When you start getting stressed, a bunch of Biological processes are put in to action in your body, that work towards putting it on high alert.

In order to ensure that your body has the energy to combat this stress, you need to feed it well. Eat well, load up on organic whole foods, healthy fats, complex carbohydrates, quality protein and leafy greens. Drink at least two liters of water in a day.
Adopt a routine that allows you to unwind and get your mind at rest at the end of the day. Get some exercise, add stress busting supplements like Vitamin C, B-Complex, magnesium and potassium to your diet.
Accept More!
Learn a little about yourself, be more accepting of your limitations, and learn that it is not always possible to have control over how people will react. When you learn to do so, you will be in a better position to control your mind and will be able to react to situations accordingly.
