9) Take Time for Yourself

It’s important to make sure you take some time out of your day to focus on yourself. Take a hot bath, read a book, go for a walk – whatever it is that makes you feel relaxed and recharged. Don’t forget to give yourself the time and space to do something for yourself each day. Make it a priority and make sure you give yourself the time you need.

10) Learn How to Say No

It can be difficult to turn down opportunities or requests, but it’s important to know when to say no. Learning to set boundaries and recognize when you are overstretched can be difficult, but it is a key skill for managing stress. Start by getting comfortable with saying no and learning how to do so without feeling guilty. Practice saying “no” in different situations until it becomes second nature.
