(Editor¡¯s Note: The following has been adapted from an unknown source. In the business and professional world, stress is a reality that we all must live with. Deadlines, unmet goals, unexpected setbacks, computer problems, financial challenges, interpersonal conflicts and intense competition are just some of the factors that contribute to our daily stress. We all cope with stress differently, but here are some worthwhile suggestions you might want to consider.)
Someone has wisely said, "Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice. Why waste your worrying until you need it?" To reduce worry and reduce stress, try the following:
2. Go to bed on time. When we are well-rested, our capacity for handling stress is greater. Á¦ ½Ã°£¿¡ ÀáÀÚ¸®¿¡ µé¶ó. ÃæºÐÈ÷ ÈÞ½ÄÀ» ÇÏ¸é ½ºÆ®·¹½º¸¦ ´Ù·ç´Â ´É·ÂÀÌ ´õ Ä¿Áø´Ù.

8. Allow sufficient time for doing things and getting to places. Overscheduling is another major stress producer. You can¡¯t be in two places at one time. ÀÏÀ» ÇÒ ¶§¿Í ¸ñÀûÁö·Î °¡´Âµ¥ ÃæºÐÇÑ ½Ã°£À» ÇÒ¾ÖÇ϶ó. °ú´ÙÇÏ°Ô ½ºÄÉÁÙÀ» Àâ´Â °ÍÀº ¶Ç ´Ù¸¥ ½ºÆ®·¹½ºÀÇ ÁÖ¹üÀÌ´Ù. ÇÑ ¹ø¿¡ µÎ °÷À¸·Î °¥ ¼ö ¾ø´Ù.
