Five easy ways to beat stress

ONE in three people in Britain is suffering from burn-out caused by too much stress, a report revealed this week. Read on to discover how to keep calm under pressure.

1 CONTROL YOUR THOUGHTS: When the subconscious mind is told something by the conscious mind it doesn't distinguish between what is real and what is artificial.

2  MANAGE YOUR TIME:  A great deal of stress is associated with the feeling we don't have enough time to do everything we need to.

3 BE MINDFUL:  Mindfulness refers to being completely in touch with and aware of the present moment.

4 LEARN TO LET GO: Learning to let go of the past or things you fear may happen in the future is a big help when managing stress.

5 TAKE MORE EXERCISE: Not only does exercise release serotonin, which makes you feel happier and less stressed, it also improves health, preventing conditions including strokes and heart attack
