We all experience stress on a daily basis...but how you relay this to the interviewer will say a lot about you. Steer clear away from the time that you lost your cool and raised your voice- we all have days like that but now is not the time to bring it up. Tell the interviewer how you manage your work stress and don't take it home with you, as well as not bringing your home stress to work.
Here's a sample answer: "Every morning I start my day with 30 minutes of yoga. Yoga helps me clear my mind and start my day."

I walk every day for 30 minutes, which helps me to reduce my stress. Besides, I listen to music & talk to my family members by phone, which also helps me reducing stress.

These are wonderful ways to manage stress. You show the interviewer that you have nice, healthy coping mechanisms.

I take 15 min walks at least twice a workday to help with stress management.
Marcie's Feedback
Great! Can you talk more about how you developed this method to alleviate stress? Do you do anything else to relieve stress (e.g., take breaks, listen to music, work out, socialize, etc.,)? Can you also explain to the interviewer why it's so important to manage stress in your job? Build out your answer further to make it more meaningful. Nice job!
