But, if you can't avoid it, can you let go of the worry it's causing you? • When a stressful situation is unavoidable, make sure you do your best to get enough sleep and take your seizure medications on time. • Find ways to diffuse a situation. Avoid people who cause anger and anxiety if you can. Instead, try to approach them differently – it may help calm down the stressful situation. • Exercise regularly. Lots of research has shown that exercise helps lower stress. • Do your best to relax. Try exercise, yoga, tai chi, Pilates, a massage, cat naps, relaxation, and controlled breathing techniques. • Limit long naps during the day.
