Put your thumb and little finger together ,do it with your other hand(tips touching).With your tongue,you will find a little pointy bit of gum directly above the gap in your two front teeth.Put the tip of your tongue on the pointy bit,touch your thumbs and Little fingers together,and breath slowly and deeply.Evidently , the circle made by the thumb and little finger grounds our physical energy.And the circle made with our tongue and pointy gum thing ,grounds our mental energy.Try it , it works.

Stress is something that you do to yourself. It is how you REACT to a situation.

Change how you REACT and you stop the stress.

Stress happens when your mind tells your body to get ready to "fight or run" - it's a survival reaction that causes your body to release adrenaline among other physical changes.

You need to train yourself not to over REACT to a given situation.

In a situation that usually causes you stress, stop and ask yoiurself what is actually going on? What do you want to do if anything? Is in your power to do it? If it is, then do it. If it isn't, then don't REACT to it.

Everytime you feel yourself getting ready to stress out, just stop. Take a deep breath if that helps you to slow down. Don't automatically REACT. Think.

It takes a little bit of practice, but after a few times you should be able to master how you REACT.
