To help turn regret into windfall here are some things that helped me. First off you have to stop kicking yourself. Even the greatest
performances never go off without a hitch. Instead of getting upset and loosing focus or giving up, remember that mistakes can be used as
an opportunity to learn a great deal.
Here is a list of stress free tips that a person can use to help manage their daily stresses and anxieties.
1.Take a break. Sometimes, we get stress when everything happens all at once. When
this happens, a person should take a deep breath and try to find something to do for a few minutes to get their mind off of the problem.
A person could take a walk, listen to some music, read the newspaper, or do an activity that will give them a fresh perspective on things.
2. Carry a small notebook of positive statements with you. Whenever you come across an
affirmation that makes you feel good, write it down in a small notebook and carry it around in your pocket. Whenever you feel anxious,
open up your small notebook and read those statements.

3. In dealing with your anxieties, learn to take it one day at a time. While the
consequences of a particular fear may seem real, there are usually other factors that can not be anticipated and can affect the results
of any situation. We may be ninety-nine percent correct in predicting the future, but all it takes is for that one percent to make a
world of difference.
4.Challenge your negative thinking with positive statements and realistic thinking.
When encountering thoughts that make you fearful or anxious, challenge those thoughts by asking yourself questions that will maintain
objectivity and common sense. Changing your thinking can help you manage your fears.
5. Break your tasks into separate steps. When facing a current or upcoming task that
overwhelms you with a lot of anxiety, divide the task into a series of smaller steps and then complete each of the smaller tasks one at
a time. Completing these smaller tasks will make the stress more manageable and increases your chances of success.
6.Take advantage of the help that is available around you. If possible, talk to a professional
who can help you manage your depression and anxieties. They will be able to provide you with additional advice and insights on how to deal
with your current problem.
