How do you cope with stress?

1. Take care of myself. Eat healthy, well-balanced meals. ...
2. Talk to others. Share my problems and how I am  feeling, and coping with others.
3. Avoid  alcohol. Alcohol may seem to help with the stress. ...
4. Take a break.

When my stress levels are up, I usually speed walk (if I'm outside) or workout HARD. I leave everything I am doing, and focus on me. Breathing techniques to speed up blood circulation, and it's important to hydrate yourself. I do talk to  my friends but only to change the focus off of me and ask about them. Usually hearing other people's problems takes the stress off of mine.
