The Magical Stress Roller Coaster
Usually Forbes has shitty posts and link bait, but this one was really good: How Successful People Stay Calm. I highly recommend this read, having gone through one of the most stressful periods of my life (tense might be off there…) I can attest to the stress curve they reference:
Falling on the right side of the curve sucks, try not to let that happen and recognize when it does so you can get enough sleep and regroup.
I also highly recommend keeping a list of what makes you happy, and reading that every night. I’ve been doing it for a few years and it helps to keep me grounded (I think). Followed closely by my “Zorro circle” strategy, control what you can, plan for what is in your control, but don’t reach beyond that. A wise friend has referred to it as “washing machine” thoughts. Limiting coffee intake is also a pretty good suggestion, green tea seems to have a better burn. And, talking to friends & significant others helps you sort out what is going on… and remembering to breath (lol), are also good strategies :).
