Ways to Deal With Hair Loss

1.) Breathe:  Taking slow, deep breaths can be the easiest way to burn some stress on the spot.  Before reacting to something stressful, take a few deep breaths.  This will help ease some of the stress that has arisen.

2.) Take care of your body:  Diet, exercise, and sleep are often underrated.  It is important to eat well, sleep well, and exercise often.  If you take care of yourself physically, the mental and emotional stresses in your life will not seem as severe, you will have more energy, and you will feel better about yourself. 

3.) Laugh:  Sometimes in life we take things too seriously.  In order to reduce stress levels, it is important to lighten up and laugh from time to time.  There is humor in almost every situation, sometimes you just need to find it. 

4.) Prioritize:  Getting your life and work affairs organized by planning, scheduling, making lists, and keeping good records of everything will lower stress levels.  Setting priorities, using a calendar or a to-do list will also help alleviate stress because they permit you to forget life’s details.  They are documented and you will see them in writing when you need to. 

5.) Build a support network:  Make sure there are people around, such as family, friends, coworkers, or a spouse, that can act as emotional support, when needed. 

6.) Avoid Multi-tasking:  Focus on one thing at a time.  Do not move onto something else until the first project is finished. 

7.) Set realistic goals:  Set goals for yourself that can feasibly be reached.  Over-scheduling yourself will only cause more stress when things do not get finished as planned. 

8.) Take a Break:  Lunch breaks can be a great way to clear your head in the middle of a hectic day. 

9.) Be flexible:  Many times in life, things do not go as we plan them to.  Be flexible with this change, as it is sometimes inevitable. 

10.) Avoid negative people:  Negative people carry and bring stress with them.  Do not let them bring stress to your table.
