There are few things more damaging to the body than stress. This tip is short and sweet but truly effective.
Learn to do something every day that you really enjoy for at least 15 minutes or more if you can. You could go for a walk in the sunshine, you could go online and read jokes that actually make you belly laugh, you could read poetry or philosophy, you could listen to your favorite music or a book on tape.

Oh, and if you think that 15 minutes are a waste of productive time, think again. You will accomplish more with the time that you are productive if you’re not so stressed out all the time.
