This is taken from a very useful blog chicmummy. The credit goes to her for these wonderful but simple tips.
1.Say no - delegate tasks to others; you can't do it all.
2.Focus - do one thing at a time and forget the multi tasking.
3.Turn off - one night a week turn off the phone & the TV and close the newspapers.
4.Breathe - the old "count to ten" can do wonders to ease your stress.
5.Create a routine - organize your chores for the week (check out Flylady's system).
6.Start a to-do list - and use it! Enjoy crossing off each task as you complete it.
7.Stop worrying - especially about things you cannot change or have no control over.i
8.Plan ahead - plan out a week's worth of menus and shop ahead. You'll save money and the last minute "what's for dinner?"
9.Don't bottle it up - share your feelings with your partner, other family or friends.
10.Exercise - find some time for some exercise. Even a quick, brisk walk will give you more energy and help to take away some stress.
