You can try making a stress list. Try keeping a diary over a
few weeks or so, and list the times, places, and people that aggravate your
stress levels. A pattern may emerge. Is it always the traffic on the way to
work that sets things off to a bad start for the day? Perhaps it's the
supermarket check-out, next door's dog, a work colleague, or something similar
that may occur regularly and cause you stress.
