Seek balance:
We can't escape work, but we can incorporate love, play, and joy in our life. Seek to find balance in your life which will allow you to have time for all the aspects of a healthy emotional balance. Spending too much time in any one of these will throw you off balance. So think about how you can eliminate or makes adjustments to find a balance among all these factors.
Get control of your environment:
Your environment has an impact on your emotional well-being. So create a space that will bring you peace and fulfillment, not stress and anxiety.
Dance:
Play your favorite music and dance your feet off. Whether it's getting funky while doing housework or let loose with someone else, dancing will reduce stress and help you feel better.

If you just can’t find the time to relax, put it down on your calendar. So start making time for your interests, hobbies and passions for better mental and emotional state.
Quiet the emotional chaos:
When emotions are high, get them under control using prayer, meditation or mindfulness work. With a quieter mind you can focus on solutions rather than wallow in negative thoughts.
