I try the following things when I notice I'm getting too wound up. I used to be very hard on myself and try for all ten each day. I now am happy if I get three done in a day. If you feel too rushed or hard on yourself, try:
1. Deep breathing for a few minutes each day
2. Exercising aerobically for thirty minutes a day
3. Taking a multi-vitamin
4. Relaxing my body section by section before bed
5. Consciously turning around some of my negative thoughts
6. Journaling out my emotions
7. Practicing being assertive
8. Avoiding sugar and simple carbs
9. Avoiding caffeine and alcohol
10.Making a spiritual schedule for the day (examples: time for meditation and fun)
Good luck and remember to take it easy!
