There are many resources available on how to reduce stress and anxiety for teachers and how teachers can help reduce stress for their students. Some of the resources include WWW.nimh.nih.gov/findhelp and the International Stress Management Association. 

I have learned that stay in the present wherever you are, and stop thinking about the past or the present especially when you are talking with someone. Take breaks to relax and do deep breathing exercises, and you can assist students in mindfulness to reduce stress and anxiety. 

I learned that facing any problems that come in life, will add growth in your life because avoiding any problems that you face will add more problems and stress. Best thing in life is either solve it yourself and if you cannot do it alone get assistance, and stay positive. 

I have learned that there are things you can do daily to reduce your stress, for example, a nature walk, and a pat yourself on the back, you can also help your students learn to relax their muscles before bedtime for a deeper sleep, breathing exercises to reduce stress and anxiety. Eat healthy balanced diet, etc. 

Sleep is very important overall. From my understanding, we should be getting at least 7 hours of sleep every night. This will help keep us sane and ready to tackle on the day! I will try to incorporate meditating since they mention it had a positive overall effect to the human mind and body.

Stress comes from all different parts of one's day - take the time to reflect, release and work on better health to manage stress 

Comment on Roshanda Martin's post:  I am the same way. I just need to remind myself that I am important and just take some me time.

Make it a habit to learn your students' names. It helps to show the students that you care about them.

Paying close attention to your students will also enable you to recognize emerging problems. Recognizing these problems allows you to prevent them from escalating into something major. Successfully monitoring students represents good student/class management.

Students who are inattentive in class are generally those students who typically lack understanding of the course requirements. As an instructor, reevaluate my approach, tone, and expectations.
