Exercise regularly, try to eat healthily and focus on activities that take your mind off stress-provoking thoughts.
That being said, if you are finding it very difficult to handle the stress, or have symptoms like weight loss, suicidal thoughts, sleep issues, etc then it is important to seek medical help.
