(NAPSI)—For many, the constant deadlines and demands of modern life can be a recipe for stress. While some find the holidays to be a stressful time, the chaotic feelings brought about by present wrapping, party throwing, constant family togetherness and shopping for gifts can actually linger long after the holidays are over, with stress striking anytime of the year.

The good news is that there are several simple ways you can start to manage the daily stress in your life. In addition to getting enough sleep and monitoring your food, alcohol and caffeine intake during the party-heavy holiday season, research has shown that making time for exercise and fun can go a long way in relieving stress during the holidays and beyond.
