4. Work Towards Change
You have done well to identify the changeable stressors in your life. Now, do something about them. Start with something small, since the larger contributors are likely harder to change. In the example of the dirty car causing stress, wash it. If you are physically unable to wash it, ask someone to do it for you. This may seem overly simple, but many stressors are this easy to resolve. For more complex stressors, sit down to think of options and develop a plan of action. After you act, evaluate your performance to appreciate the results. Scratching items off your list will build feelings of power and control while reducing stress.
