Our advice for beating mental stress
Stop beating yourself up psychologically: be wary of your instinctive reactions and hasty conclusions. If you get a promotion, congratulations: you must have deserved it. If someone compliments you on your cooking, they're being honest and not just polite. Listen to what other people say and believe in yourself!
Stress less by regulating your efforts at adapting to stress. Try and evaluate situations honestly. Force yourself to seek out the positives. If you're overloaded with work, learn to ask for help. Instead of thinking of delegation as a show of weakness, tell yourself that you're showing others you have faith in them.
