Stress management techniques: our current guide
What this page said
The institute introduced the list as drawn from its ongoing review of research and scientifically validated information on stress management. The tips began with simple routines such as eating breakfast, taking time to meditate or listen to a relaxation CD, organising work by priority and not trying to be perfect or do several things at once.
Others covered building a support network, reducing noise, taking a lunch break away from the desk, getting good nutrition, sleep and regular exercise, celebrating occasions, and seeing unavoidable stress as a chance for growth. Some advice, such as swapping coffee for fruit juice, reflects its time and is not clinical guidance.
