Set aside some time for you and you alone, take at least one hour closer to two. Tricky but it can be done. Pour a very hot bath for yourself with sea salt and lots of bubbles. Pour a glass of wine, Kendall Jackson chardonnay, Get a candle that will provide a sent that you find pleasing. Some relaxing music, maybe even sound of whales or water running in a stream. As you get into the tub, get in slow. Work your way in until you are as completely covered as possible. Relax, and close your eyes. Think about something that you find pleasing, maybe a beach or of that sort. After your body stabilizes to the temperature of the tub, take deep breaths in from nose, out from mouth. Only a few times. At the same time stretch your arms and legs as far as you can, with hands going over your head. As you begin to relax and find yourself losing your tension, do what ever it is that helps you relax even more. Remember this is your time! No interruptions! So think about yourself and happy times.

Stress is a part of life, actually it is important in some aspects, but like everything else moderation is the key. Take some deep breaths, shake your head back and forth, go for a day at the spa, a long hot bubble bath. Take a hard look at what is causing you to feel stressed and see how you can change your attitude so it isn't such an issue... Good luck to you and mellow out

There is probably a better way to deal with stress than getting drunk. Depending on what you like to do...sometimes exercise, journaling, eating a pint of your favorite ice cream, or just whatever will help you relax. Don't add to a bad week by making your body feel bad too.

Change yourself. \n\nI know it's hard, but believe me.. they are not causing the stress, you are.\n\nIt may seem like external factors are creating stress inside of you but only through the understanding that you truly create your own stress can you hope to master it. Simply change your internal reaction to external stimuli... but I know that it's much harder than it sounds... I have been trying for many years and am only getting calmer, so I think it's working.

Cool water. not too cold. drink it.\nThen take a cool (not cold) shower and go to bed. Do not sleep with a light on! Try to reduce your stress level. \nExercise is great for stress. just 10 or 15 minutes two or three days a week can make a real difference. Open a window. Fresh air is the best. helps the blood circulate and if it is migraines that's the best thing. Also, try not to get over heated or too cold.

Exercise is a great way to reduce stress, especially if you have a stressful job. If you feel you need nutritional supplements, try taking vitamins formulated for stress. Otherwise, eat healthy balanced meals, lay off the late night snacks.

I guarantee that you'll feel better -- even if you dont land something right away.

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.
