Handle Stress in a Healthy Way

Everyone has stress, but there's a right way and a wrong way to deal with it.

The American Heart Association says you may not be handling stress well if you:

Eat, smoke or drink alcohol to help yourself cope.

• Eat and speak very quickly.
• Move constantly without accomplishing much.
• Work too much.
• Repeatedly put off important tasks.
• Sleep too much or too little.
• Try to do too many things at the same time.
