Feeling a little anxious? Stress and
anxiety go hand and hand. Here are a few tips to help keep tension to a
minimum.

Recognize things that cause you the most stress.
Afterward, look for ways to get around them. For example, if you find
meeting with someone in person stressful, see if you can make a phone call

Talk about your feelings with family and friends. Be
sure you take time for social activities and exercise. You'll feel more
relaxed, energized and not as stressed.
