&lt;p&gt;That&#39;s right, dude. If you&#39;re chill and tend to take it easy, rather than engaging in a million things at once and always doing doing doing, you&#39;re going to be able to deal with work-life and home-life stress a helluva lot better, according to a new study just published in the &lt;em&gt;Journal of Applied Psychology&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;embeddedObject&quot; src=&quot;http://content.screencast.com/users/dloos/folders/Jing/media/521a56ca-8fe1-4d77-99b3-ece05027bb30/00000311.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;335&quot; height=&quot;334&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;In fact, even catching some zzzzzz&#39;s during the day or kicking back and just pondering the yonder can improve your ability to deal with stressful situations. And further, if you&#39;re the type of dude or dudette who&#39;s always asking other folks for advice when a problem comes your way, instead of calmly dealing with it yourself (after first taking a nap, of course), you might be doing yourself more harm than good.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The study&#39;s authors say they &quot;observed that people who seek out other people to provide emotional support also reported more stress,&quot; which may be due to these high strung folks&#39; &quot;extra efforts taking even more time away from other roles, thus increasing their tendency to experience conflicts.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whatever the case may be, the study&#39;s message seems clear: to lead a healthier, less stressful existence, you should most definitely be doing a lot less, and driving around aimlessly and bowling with friends a whole lot more.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(WSJ: Stressed Out? Slack Off)&lt;/p&gt;
