Practice mindfulness or meditation to reduce stress.
The best way I’ve found to reduce stress is to remove myself from other people’s drama. I also apply the drama thing to the news. That’s one way the news stations get viewers and listeners – fire them up. I choose not to let CNN, FOX, or MSNBC work on my emotions. For me, reading the news doesn’t have the same effect on me as watching and listening to someone giving their slant.
