A relaxing massage in a place with a nice ambience - probably a spa - relieves stress the most for me. Try a massage with aromatherapy oils while listening to new age/zen music and once your stress knots are relaxed you will feel blissful!

take a day off.  Go somewhere by yourself and have fun. \n\nif your at work or cannot readily get away right now.. take a break and just close your eyes and breathe deeply of a couple of minutes.  a clear mind will get you through the rest of the day.\n\nAlso stretch.  If your all stressed out.. your muscles are all tight too.. loosen up and relax.  Also...  if all else fails... cover your face with a pillow and scream your head off!

Have a candle-lit bath, with bubbles and candles, dim the lights and just soak. It's really relaxing, it may sound kiddish but it really works. After light some candles and insence and settle down on the couch and just take deep breathes and maybe watch some soaps or feel-good movies or chick flicks, not anything too dramatic and violent but something that you like and makes you feel good. Another thing is that you should do what you like! whats your hobby? for example, I love horsebackriding, so I might go on a nice peaceful trail in the woods  for an hour to calm down and realize life is a good thing. Or if your a painter, start painting! you could even make crafts, which actually allows you to express your anger on paper and your work, instead of other people and your mind, self confidence and yourself. Go scream on your pillow! if you just feel like screaming, go right ahead. Thats what I do when I'm frustrated angry and confused. It really helps get the stress out. You could bang stuff around scream and shout and tell everybody to just get away from you. We all understand. Or, what I do is put a favourite CD on and sing along like nobody's listening. It helps alot. Or sometimes I call a friend and we talk for hours, and it keeps your mind off things, or you could go to the mall and shop. Shopping cures anything! lol. Something else is to make yourself beautiful, dress up, do your make-up, paint your nails, it keeps you consuntraited and focussed on one thing at a time. You should also spend time with your family or friends. Family and friends really helps in these situations. You should also call up people your might have angered, and say your sorry and for them to forgive you. It will make you feel alot better and less upset. Hope ive given you some ideas, and i hope this day really turns better for you!

Yes, but stress comes from a variety of sources. Best of luck on managing it. Remember no matter how busy take time for yourself.

You can basically talk yourself out of it.\n\nSeventy-five percent of all our problems - both emotional and physical problems - come from the same source. If you could identify that source, you could probably eliminate it. \n\nUnfortunately, few people are able to identify the core of their problems. And those who do typically don't know the steps to take to alleviate their challenges. \n\nSo what is the course of most of our problems? It is stress. That's right; stress is the source of 75 percent of all our problems and a major epidemic in people's lives. Finding ways to control stress is vital, because if you don't control stress, it will control you. \n\nIf you want to overcome stress and worry, try the following:\n1. Say No\n2. Listen to you Body\n3. Communicate with your heart\n4. Clear out past clutter\n\nTo stop stress, I do the following:\n1. Walk away from it! :)\n2. Clean the house.\n3. Go fishing.\n4. Concentrate on something meaningless.\n5. Play sports!\n6. Write on blogs.\n7. Read this book... Don't Sweat the Small Stuff!\n\nRecommended reading: http://stress.50webs.com

Best way is exercise.  Start with cardio if you haven't done it in a while and mix it up with weights once you think you can handle it.  Cut down on caffeine and sugar.  Cut down on alcohol.  Drink a lot of water and a lot of tea--tea with chamomile at night will help you to relax before bed (there is one out there called Sleepy Time by Celestial Seasonings--does the trick every night).\n\nPretty soon you'll feel better mentally and physically.\n\nYou can also get yourself a couple good jazz or classical CD's.  Check out the Hear Music compilations for a good mix if you aren't familiar with those genres.  Check out Afro Celt Sound System, too.  \n\nGet yourself hynotized by a professional.  It works wonders and it is relatively inexpensive.  A bunch of friends of mine have gone to a place in Chicago and the guy is top notch.  See link below.\n\nTry a yoga class.  Seriously.  Give it a shot.  Yoga is a great way to supplement a workout routine for the physical benefits and it's like a mini vacation every time you go.  \n\nLast but not least, talk to your doctor.  If you've got anxiety, he might be able to prescribe something like Xanax.  If your doc thinks you need a little extra help, he might send you to a psychologist or psychiatrist for a few sessions to see what's causing your stress.

The key to getting rid of this anxiety is doing something you love to do and that easily passes time. An example of something you might do to relieve your stress is exercise (lift weights, run, etc.).\n\nGood Luck!

Experts say one of the main causes of headaches is stress, and to get headache relief you have to learn to deal with the stress in your life. Everyone has stress; some stress is good, like a new baby, job, or house, while some is bad, like a failing relationship or a boss that you don't get along with. Here are three tips to help you deal with stress and get some headache relief.\n\nKeep a journal and record what's going on in your life, especially when you get a headache. You'll be able to see what situations cause you the most stress and which cause headaches for you. You'll also feel better when you get things off your chest. You may be able to avoid those situations that are most stressful, or you can find a way to deal with them.\n\nAnother way to get headache relief is to take good care of yourself. Eat a healthy, balanced diet, get enough rest, quit smoking, and limit your alcohol and caffeine intake. All of these actions will help you feel better and make you less likely to get a headache in the first place and more able to handle stress.\n\nSpend time with yourself. Set aside time everyday, even if it's just five minutes, to relax and do whatever you want. Read, soak in a hot tub, or meditate.

Stress is tension or pressures that are a natural part of living our lives.  Changes and events in our lives (getting married, illness, changing jobs) are a major source of stress.  Pressures and tension from both good and bad changes can trigger our Stress Alarm System making us feel that we want to either fight the stress or run away from it.  \n\nPreventing Stress:\nEating Right Helps:  Foods high in preotein, Vitamin C, B vitamins and Vitamin A protect us from the effects of stress.  These are found in whole grain products, fruits and veggies, expecially citrus fruits, dark green veggies, meat and dairy products.  Caffeine, refined sugars, starches and junk food create false energy and stress the body even more.\nManage Time Better:  Take five minutes at the beginning of each day and make a "things to do" list.  Converty this list into a priority list of primary tasks, secondary tasks and miscellaneous tasks.  Do Primary tasks first and continue until the list is completed.  Don't over schedule - leave time for unexpected events.  Reward yourself for a job well done.\nExercise your tension away:  You feel healthier and less stressed when you develop an exercise plan that meets your life style, needs and ability.  Yoga and stretching exercises are good for developing flexibility and relaxation.  \nIn a nut shell:  everyone will get stressed.. but how to manage your stress and keep it from occuring as often just takes a few little changes throughout your day to make it much easier to get through the bad parts!

There are a lot of ways to deal with stress, and the best one for you depends on your personality and also where the stress is coming from.  Exercise is often a good way to deal with stress- not only does it allow you to "work off" your frustration, it also produces endorphins, chemicals in your body which make you feel happier and more energized.  Listening to music is also a good way to de-stress, although heavy music with screaming lyrics usually doesn't work too well.  Taking some time to do an activity that you enjoy can reduce stress as well.  \nThere are also ways to prevent over-stressing yourself.  If you eat right and get enough sleep every night, your mind and body will be better equipped to deal with life, and you'll find that stress doesn't creep up on you quite as often.

Sorry to read of your stress.  Try some stress management techniques, especially before bed.  Some to try:\n1. Slow, deep breathing: inhale for a count of 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4. Do for 5 minutes several times per day.\n2. Visualization exercises\n3. Progressive muscle relaxation.\n4. Quiet music.\n(You can do an internet search for specific exercises for 2 & 3.)\nMedical school and nursing, in particular, have a stress component built in.  You have to be able to function with a lot of stress to be a physician or a nurse, so learning to cope with this is a necessary life skill.  The instructors tend to feel that a stressful learning environment will "weed out" the students who will not be effective in these professions, so this is an educational philosophy, rather than a personal issue.  I hope this helps, and wish you all the best as you pursue your goal...
