Do little things set you off more than usual? Have you turned yourself into a pretzel at work? Do you have more on your plate than you can accomplish as the hours in the day seem to shrink? This action-packed book is brimming with chunks of practical tips and exercises on the nature of stress, what you can do to reduce most of it, manage the rest, and live a healthy, productive, stress-free life. Bryan Robinson walks you step-by-step through practical solutions to stress-proof your everyday life. You'll discover how to: identify the stressors that flip you out; take and reduce your "stress temperature;" break your stress cycle; relieve work stress, job uncertainty, and unemployment woes; power down and relax with deep breathing, mindfulness meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, and yoga; tame your worries and fears; handle unreasonable people who stress you out; avoid falling into stressful mind traps.--Publisher's description
