                    Use the Good Stress















          Harness the feeling of needing to alleviate the stress by coming up
          with specific techniques to do just that.
             The common wisdom is that people who eat well, exercise, and
          have a positive outlook are not only healthier but are more pro-
          ductive. Following are steps you can take to strengthen your stress
          resistance.

             •  Plan your diet so you are not making last-minute decisions
               and choosing the wrong foods.
             •  Avoid food shopping when you are hungry; you buy more
               junk food when your stomach is empty.
             •  Look for nutritious choices in the company cafeteria or local
               restaurant.
             •  Don’t feel like you have to eat something that you don’t really
               want to eat because others are eating it.
