It may be time to take a walk, watch a movie, go out with a friend for lunch and a walk on the beach. Whatever you do if you are feeling stressed, it is time to take a break from life and “destress”. Forget about what is happening in your job or with the kids. It is time for some “me” time.

Chronic and long-term stress can make you fatigued, sick physically or emotionally or depressed. Whenever you have reached your level of having things under control, then it is time to stop and relax. Find something you like to do such as a hobby or time spent with a friend. Go window shopping or out for a lunch date at a nice restaurant. Meditation (eg. prayer) can actually help some people to refocus and let go of your problems. Above all make sure you get a good nights sleep and try to cut back on caffeine intake. Take a vacation at least once a year and leave all of your stresses at home.
If you still are having problems, then see a physician or a counsellor and get professional help before it escalates into a bigger problem. Remember, getting help is a sign of strength and not weakness.
