It definitely is important to manage stress while you are experiencing and even after. A good way of managing stress is to engage in activities which you enjoy and those that help you relax. These are relative to the individual or the cause of stress. Ms. Akwo suggested 'venting out' as a good strategy for post stress management. This is especially effective when the costs of confronting whoever caused you stress are very high. It is basically a way of saying how you really feel about the situation in private and is very therapeutical. Other ways of releasing or prevneting stress are exercising, eating healthy or pampering yourself like kwabi said or watching cartoons etc. Ms. Tahmah Israel also adviced participants not to stress about stress. It is important to find a way of managing stress that does not wear you out. Also a certain level of stress can enable people to excel. No good thing comes easy.

Well, I think it depends on the individual. However, no matter how "strong" or "hard working" the individual is, he/she should occasionally take some time off, at least for health reasons.

We all hate to be stressed out; and so taking a natural break from a harding working moment is very crucial. Scientifically, our mental efficiency is some how inversely proportional to our physical health. So consider this equation:
Too much stress = Poor mental competence. [Try it and see]
Stress management is definitely important for all of us.

I have decided to take your good advice on stress management. Not really because i'm under stress, but because i do't want to be. Let me share some interesting words i found with you. Hopefully you'd find something interesting here that will help you prevent stress.
Some ways of dealing with the burdens of life:
* Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.
* Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
* Always read stuff that will make you look good in case you should die in the middle of it.
* Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their maker.
* If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
* If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
* It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
* Never buy a car you can't push.
* Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on.
* Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
* You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.
* A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

I like these. However, I do think that people care if you can't dance(lol) However, if you enjoy dancing, who cares what other people think:-). It's fun, good exercise and a good stress reliever.
