Few tips on how to deal with stress

*Drink tea
A large dose of caffeine causes a short-term spike in blood pressure. It may also cause your hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis to go into overdrive.

Instead of coffee or energy drinks, try green tea. It has less than half the caffeine of coffee and contains healthy antioxidants, as well as theanine, an amino acid that has a calming effect on the nervous system

*Get outside
Research indicates that the vitamin D boost from sunlight may elevate your levels of feel-good serotonin. And there's something about being in nature that's just good for your mental health.

*Move more
Exercise may be the healthiest stress-buster: It revs your body's production of feel-good endorphins, helps regulate your sleep, lowers the symptoms associated with mild depression, boosts your energy, and helps you remain calmer and more focused—all of which can go a long way toward stress management.

*Stick to a routine
Whether it's taking a bath before bed, listening to your favorite playlist on the commute to work, or walking the dog to the park down the street every morning, in times of stress it helps to turn to a comforting routine.

*Talk yourself through it

*Talk it out with a friend

*Listen to music

*Eat healthy

*Surround yourself with great company
