Once you have identified the cause of your stress, you can take steps to eliminate or reduce it. If work is the source of your stress, you may need to find a new job or make changes to your current job. If family or personal relationships are the source of your stress, you may need to set boundaries or seek counselling.

• Relaxation techniques - relaxation techniques can help to manage stress and stop racing thoughts by reducing the amount of cortisol, the stress hormone, in your body. One such technique is deep breathing. Deep breathing helps to slow your heart rate and lower your blood pressure. It also increases the oxygen levels in your body and helps to reduce muscle tension. Another relaxation technique is progressive muscle relaxation. This involves tensing and relaxing different muscle groups in your body, starting with your toes and working up to your head. progressive muscle relaxation can help to reduce both physical and mental stress. Finally, meditation is a great way to clear your mind and focus on the present moment. All of these relaxation techniques can help you to manage stress and feel more relaxed.
• Take breaks during the day - Most people's workdays are filled with a non-stop string of tasks and responsibilities. While this can be a productive way to get things done, it can also be quite stressful.  By taking a break, you'll give your mind and body a chance to recharge, which can help you feel refreshed and ready to tackle the rest of your day.
• Journaling - Writing down your thoughts and feelings can help you to identify and process the source of your stress. In addition, journaling can provide a much-needed outlet for pent-up emotions. 
• Consider talking to a therapist - If you find that you are struggling to cope with stress, talking to a therapist may be beneficial. Therapists can help you to identify the source of your stress and develop coping mechanisms. You may also want to consider talking to a Bach flower practitioner who can provide a supportive ear alongside prescribing a flower remedy to support your body getting back into emotional balance
• Taking some time each day to do something you enjoy - can also help reduce stress levels and reduce signs of burn out. Whether it's reading, listening to music, or spending time with friends and family, finding activities that make you happy will help you manage stress more effectively.
