Everyone, from homeless people to billionaires, is likely to be influenced by stress; there’s simply no way to avoid it.1.Here are five powerful tips for ways to kill stress in almost any situation.
Eat Healthier

Wake Up Earlier

4.
Since you are never going to remove 100 percent of the stress in your life, one of the best things you can do is let it be one of your motivations. This is what stress is designed to do, after all. The psychological and physical reactions brought on by stress are supposed to heighten our senses and empower us to fight off a threat.
Watch a Funny Video
