how do you cope with stress?

I use passion flower pills, taking one every morning (only the mornings when I go to work) because I can get a lot of stress at work. Otherwise I'll have stomach cramps and diarrhea and now I can finally be normally productive even when I feel like I have an alien head with so much work to do. Also, drinking lots of water when you're stressed can help too, but for me, passion flower is a really amazing herb to calm down and relaxed in stressful times, but you need to use it before the stress begins, even when that means that day will be surprisingly calm, because if you start taking it once the stress starts, then it's too late. I'm just really sensitive to getting stomach cramps when I get stress... But another thing that also helps is asking yourself the question "are these frustrations really worth it?" because often I stress out, not only about work, but about things that aren't that much significant, that opens my eyes by this question that I realize some things I shouldn't worry about. And don't worry about the things you can't change ;)

Deal with issues head on [i]before[/i] they become so stressful that you find that you cannot cope with it. Easy to say? ... yes, easy to do? ... no, but that's the optimistic route to begin with which offers some semblance of having some control.
