Aovid big meals but high-cabon, low-fat snacks every few hours. Lay off the alcohol, which could disturb your sleep patterns.

Tackle your fears pressure doesn't paralyze you, fear does. Stress comes from the worrying rather than the work assignment and problem you are grappling with. Itemize every element of fears that have you scared. Maybe you are worrying about a presentation. You have never spoken in front of a group of people. You don't know what to wear and the slide projector isn't working correctly. Write down your fears and methodically address each one.

Socializing with your friends and colleagues and get together with people who make you laugh and change your perspective. You want a positive social support, so offer your friends progress reports and ask them for feedback, solucation and encouragement.
