Work is a stressful experience and we simply have to learn how to cope with that. Here's how it is done. Do not bring your home problems to work. Quit worrying about your kids or wife when you're at work - you can't help them right now, but you can worse your own situation (and their as well!) if your performance gets down. This is the key to keep your work-related stress in check - do not add anything to it.
Then, remember you don't have to be everyone's friend. If there is anyone at work you don't like or that doesn't like you much, you can just keep your contacts impersonal. Do not be concerned about their opinions about your actions - concentrate on your job. If you fail to do that, the situation will quickly get extremely stressful and unpleasant.
Remember that different jobs have their own kinds of stress that should be dealt with in different ways. For example, if you run your own business venture, the stress usually comes from not knowing if you were right or from fear of the unknown. If you work for a company, the main reason of stress is your team and/or your boss. Some jobs, like being a doctor, are known to require a lot of responsibility, others like a bodyguard or policeman are dangerous to one's health. Do not believe in universal methods that can get rid of stress regardless of the kind of work you do.
However, most work-related problems involve other members of your team. Most often the stress is related to expecting you to meet impossible goals or one that can't be achieved simultaneously. In such situations, try to discuss the problem with your manager and try to find a working solution both for you and him. It might be hard, but it is still much better than saying "ok" and then producing something best described as "junk".
Lack of work can also be stressful, just as being unable to find the job you like or finding a job you know nothing about. The problem is that there are no magic solutions to them. These are natural situations that occur to anyone and the only thing you can do is solve the underlying problems. Do all you can to de-stress yourself (physical activities, healthy food, support of others) and just do it. There is no other way.
