Are you stressing because you feel you're taking on too heavy a load there with those plans, or is the stress more due to concern that you might not be good enough? Theres different plans of action depending on what thought patterns are running through your mind dear. For example, if its the work load, you need to promise yourself now that you will take scheduled times for some 'down time' to relax and unwind do something quick you can fit into a busy schedule, like a movie out with friends, getting out in nature somehow by taking a walk to go feed the ducks or take a bike ride or walk the dog. If you take enough breaks it will help. If you just want to know in general how to relieve stress, try something that makes you laugh, comedy movies are great, many say that movement, activity helps release hormones that lower stress so jogging, skipping, dancing is all good. Listen to the type of music, the melodies that seem to calm your soul even when you are not stressed. These would be melodies that make your heart feel so light, like its so carefree and about to float right out of your chest. If you don't have any, spend some time listening to different music. Its not the lyrics that count but the melody in helping reduce stress. One that works for me for example is Clocks by Coldplay.
Sometimes, knowing ahead of time all that you need to accomplish to reach a goal can seem overwhelming, but that when to focus on that saying, "HOw do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time." So even though you know theres lots involved in going down this path, only focus on the immediate upcoming event that needs your focus and attention...thats your "one bite". Good luck dear.
