Find a friend. Often times when we are stressed and irritated we just need a gentle ear to listen to. By voicing our feelings and what has caused us to be stressed we can become better aware at the cause of the stress and it may prove to show how insignificant it is or how over reacted we are to the situation. 3.

If only you realize that most things you stress over is small stuff anyways then you will find that you have a greater appreciation of what you have in life. 5. Live with gratitude. Your emotions.
