Taking any steps possible to relieve stress is never a bad idea, but it’s especially beneficial if you have rheumatoid arthritis.

The Arthritis Foundation suggests:

• Taking a tai chi or yoga class.
• Flexing and then relaxing muscles throughout your body.
• Imagining and concentrating on a peaceful, relaxing place.
• Talking with family and friends.
• Joining an RA support group.
• Getting regular exercise.
• Taking up painting, pottery or another form of art.
• Getting organized, such as by making a daily list of to-do’s.
