How to handle your stress?

Ever you face the stress? I think that all of us experience stress such as home, school or work. Sometimes I am feeling stress when I think something which is related to my family matter, job and financial. However, anger is a major emotional problem due to stress. Do you know what is stress? Stress is the physical, emotional and mental response to change. A small amount of stress is necessary for us to function effectively and can be a good motivating factor. Too much stress can be harmful for a long time.
