I found that listing the stressors in one's life and categorizing them into the three tasks (eliminate, reduce, coping) can put the stressors in perspective. I tend to take on a lot of responsibilities which causes more stress. Now I have something tangible in the list. I will write down the new responsibility/ task in the future. If it is more of a stressor then a pleasure, I will look at it objectively and see if it can be eliminated.
