Stress is not always avoidable, but there changes that you can make or things you can do to prevent getting stressed. Some things you can try to combat stress are:

• Make sure to exercise – exercise can be an outlet and stress reliever to some.
• Accept things you can’t change – don’t let things you have no control over affect you so much
• Positivity – be grateful for the positive things, and focus on them.
• Connections – having a good support network can help you with and share your troubles.
• Challenge – set yourself goals and challenges to build yourself with confidence and challenge yourself.
• Avoid unhealthy habits – don’t overload your life with unhealthy habits like bad food, smoking and drinking
• Me time – make time for yourself to relax and do the things you enjoy
• Help others – doing things outside of work like volunteering schemes to help others can be really rewarding
• Get enough rest – lack of sleep can be detrimental to stress
