Speaking of the mental aspect you will feel more positive about things and tend to be less pessimistic. You should throw in some variations in your life : have a new hairdo, change your wardrobe, and take the time to enjoy nature's wonders such water, birds, flowers, etc. Sounds simplistic? Not at all ... try to sit by a lake or river for 30 minutes and tell me you don't feel more relaxed. Smile at people you meet in the mall or on the streets, you will be surprised at their reaction.

Regular medical check-ups should also be part of your routine to preserve your good health. In periods of higher stress this is particularly pertinent. Don't hesitate to get help and advice. Seek out professional assistance, support of your partner-in-life, family and friends. You may need to revise your priorities in life and reconsider your lifestyle. If needed, consult with a social worker, psychologist or psychiatrist. Whatever you do, talk about your situation to someone, if you feel your stress level is getting out of hand.

Life is full of challenges, ups and downs. You have to know how to deal with them and approach situations from a positive angle. Even more important, is to control your environment as opposed to to enduring it. A stress-free life can definitely add up to your years, in number and in quality.
