Be Nice to Everyone, Even when You're Stressed

When you're stressed out, sometimes it can be hard to be nice to other people around you. Here is an informal guide to being nice to everyone, even if your day wasn't the greatest.

Steps

 * 1) Find the reason that you're stressed and figure out if there's a way to stop it or lessen the annoyance of it. If it's bad traffic, play some music and sing or listen to an audio book.  If you have a headache, take a break from whatever you're doing and take some Advil, drink some tea and read a book.  If you're stressed for no apparent reason, do something that you take pleasure in!  If you take care of yourself, you'll find it A LOT easier to be nice to others![[Image:Be Nice to Everyone, Even when You're Stressed Step 1.jpg|center]]
 * 2) Keep in mind that, just because you're stressed out, doesn't give you the right to take it out on other people! Even if you're having a rotten day and are totally stressed out, still be civil and polite to others.[[Image:Be Nice to Everyone, Even when You're Stressed Step 2.jpg|center]]
 * 3) Smile! Often, just a smile can make you feel less stressed.[[Image:Be Nice to Everyone, Even when You're Stressed Step 3.jpg|center]]
