Here are some useful tips from Rescue Remedy to help you get on with your daily stresses - whichever they may be.
Presentation at work or looming deadlines
Be prepared and get a plan. The more you know and understand your subject the less you will stress. Break your task into small, manageable pieces and address potential problems early on.
Shopping and queuing
Make an effort to be as social and pleasant as possible. Making things brighter for someone else will make you stress less - it's a win-win situation.
Dealing with difficult people
Always start a conversation with a complement or a positive statement; this will help prevent a defensive or aggressive response because it shows that you are considering them.
Travelling or commuting
Use your time in a pleasurable or satisfying way. For example, you could make plans for a longed life change or just listen to your favourite music.
"I am going through a very stressful time at work at the moment, having to drive to London and back everyday (95 miles each way), which means getting up at 4.30 am and returning home at 9.30pm. I find that Rescue Remedy keeps me calm and concentrated during the journey!"
