Stress is a part of our everyday life, so it's up to you on how you will respond to it. You can choose to think of a stressful event as a positive event or negative thing. You can fool your brain into thinking you're in some degree of control, and that will decrease the stress response.

During your lunch break you go to a bank to make an immediate payment for your bills that are due already and suddenly when it is almost your turn, the bank system went offline, and your boss is already calling you because you need to be at the office.

Take 3 to 6 deep breaths and you will feel a lot better.

2. Chant Positive Phrase. Always have a list of your favorite inspirational phrases that you can chant whenever you feel down. Phrases like "Everything will be ok" and "All this problem will pass and everything will be ok soon," you can repeat these phrases until you feel good. The key is to practice in advance. When you're feeling relaxed, chant your phrase softly to yourself several times. Then do it silently. "Repetitive actions like chants are a way of getting yourself into a meditative state or near enough to help your relax. Chanting positive phrases will also make you attract positive things.
