Talk to the right people for support.
Venting your dramas to your office-mate or your sister might be more harmful than helpful. Continually talking to like-minded people could mean you hear the same perspective on repeat, which discourages problem solving. To get a positive attitude, seek out different viewpoints to recognize all aspects of the issue. Try this: With big decisions—ending a relationship; asking for a promotion—use a three-person reality check, Achor says. “Find someone with a different personality, different economic status, and different age group,” Achor explains. “It covers all of your bases.”
Channel your stress.
Stress makes every bad situation worse. Or does it? Hormones released during stress can boost memory and reasoning ability and teaching yourself to think about the positive aspects of stress can actually improve performance as well as physical and mental health. In one study, managers trained to recognize the upside of stress reported a 23 percent drop in physical symptoms like headaches, backaches, and fatigue. Try this: When you're overwhelmed, pinpoint the real reason. If you're worried about a work presentation, it might be that your stress is about impressing your boss, not talking in front of a group. Aim to direct the stress into a more confident delivery.

Madam:
Before sharing, we must be choosy. The very sentence "S/he is not my type" haunts us all through our life if we are not selective.
