How to avoid negative slack

[himassk]

Hi,
The static timing analysis report for my design is as follows:

From: DAT_FSM/FULL_TEMP:CLK
To: DAT_FSM/count[10]
data required time 14.609
data arrival time 15.146
slack -0.537

Could any one please suggest me the techniques to avaoid negative
slack.
Please let me know the relavent material available.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
HimaSSK.

try giving constraints or use better library cells

From the design aspect: insert more pipelines.
