Feeling mildly annoyed can be a daily occurrence -- which gives you plenty of opportunity to try this stress-reduction tip: Today, whenever you find yourself getting frustrated, turn your attention to something you're grateful for, whether it's a person, a thing, or an experience. See it in your mind and allow those thankful feelings to float up and relieve the friction.
