Below are basic suggestions to reduce stress from TriQual Living Center.    • Keep a stress diary to help identify people, places, and things that are stressful.    • How do you react to stress? Keep record of how you react to identify patterns that you may modify.    • Find ways to relax. Research indicates that relaxation can help alleviate negative aspects of stress.    • Change your routine. Doing something different may help you find an alternate perspective or help refresh you.    • Notice what you tell yourself. Often, messages you give yourself are more powerful than ones you receive.    • Look at how your actions fit in with your goals. Discrepancies can create stress.
