Focus on your breathing.  Slow it down and take deep, rhythmic breaths in and out.  Just focus all your thoughts on the breathing and try to put all your other worries and thoughts out of your mind.\n\nYou can also try to mentally imagine each part of your body relaxing.  Relax your toes, then your calves, then your thighs, then your stomach...all the way up to your eyelids, ears, and forehead.  Just imagine each of those body parts relaxing, as you let go and let yourself get comfortable.\n\nAlso, I've found that if I am physically active and get exercise during the day, then I can sleep better at night.  You may also want to try drinking some herbal tea (Chamomile and Sleepytime work best at nighttime)

Essential oils for de-stressing: http://www.aworldofaromatherapy.com/essential-oils-stress.htm\nThis site suggests Chamomile, Lavender or Sandalwood to help relieve stress, along with mthods of use. \n\nAnother method not mentioned there is to get a large bowl filled with hot water, add a few drops of the essential oil and lean over the bowl with a towel draped over your head (only for about 5 minutes though). \n\nGood site on yoga and meditation: http://www.wildmind.org/\nProvides detailed information on postures, techniques and mantras. \n\nIf you haven't tried meditation before, it might take a while before you get the hang of it. Stick with it though, because the effects really are worth it. \n\nHope that helps.

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.

It's hard to fight stress while you are in the stressful situation. At home I read, clean and do artwork. Try hiding in teh Br for a few minutes or just plain tuning out.

if u r looking for a way to relax and releave stress, it's best u do it naturally. i would recommend u against using machines, tapes, pills, or any other artificial means.\n\ninstead, why don't u try yoga, meditation in a park (or any other form of nature close to u...the more "natural" it is, the better!), light strolls on sunny days or even enjoying a good sunset either alone or with company (be sure not to have very TALKATIVE company in that case)? of course, rectifying ur breathing method can also do wonders in meditation. the average Hindu monk breathes inhales and exhales after 15 or so seconds. then he exhales and takes another 10 seconds before taking another breath. as weird of impossible as that may sound to some people, it works wonders not only for ur phychological state, but also helps speed up ur metabolism and perfect ur bodily functions (like digestion and such). \n\nMonks believe that people are born with a specific amount of breathes. according to their beliefs, our life comes to an end once we use up our last breath. so the longer the pause between each breath, the less breaths one will take in total at the end of the day, leaving them with a bigger number of days to live in the long run.\n\nu don't have to believe this theory about breaths, but seriously, breathing slowly CAN help u be calmer! but it might take a while to get used to the change if u r used to breathing short and shallow.\n\nthis is another case where "practise makes perfect". so i wish u the best of luck and happy meditating!

Remove your cause of mental tension or stress or worries. If the reason is your office, discuss the problem with your colleagues and seniors. Don't keep the problem with you. Mental tensions can often be reduced by a brisk walk, laugh loudly and relaxation or meditation. In fact, if you daily practice meditation, you can control your blood pressure for ever.\nMaintain your weight. Exercise more often. Since excess body fat is a primary risk factor in hypertension, it is important to maintain a healthy weight.\nBe physically active. Brisk walking, bicycling, raking leaves, and gardening are the best exercises.\nFollow a low fat diet. Eliminate cholesterol in your diet.\nEliminate salt from your diet. Look at the salt content of tinned foods, snacks, potato chips, French fries, diet soft drinks, sauces, etc. These are high in salt, don't eat them. Do not eat foods that contain soda, sodium, Na, monosodium glutamate, baking soda and preservatives. Read the food labels carefully. With herbs, spices, garlic and onions, you can make your food tasty without salt.\nRestrict consumption of refined sugars. Read the lables and note different names of sugars.\nA high fiber diet is recommended.\nIncrease intake of potassium, magnesium, calcium and vitamin C.

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...

I believe 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 reduce your stress level and live a happier and healthier life, use the physical and emotional stress relief techniques outlined below. \n\nPhysical Relief \n - Say No\nThe pressure to perform in today's world is intense. As a result, people work long hours and take on much more than they can bear. They juggle multiple roles throughout the day and sacrifice sleep or personal time just so they can get everything done. Saying "no" to a demand is out of the question, resulting in increased stress, both at work and at home. \n\n - Listen to Your Body \nListening to your body helps you take control of your stress because you become aware of the signals your body gives you regarding comfort and discomfort.\n\n- Communicate With Your Heart\nYour heart has an important job, pumping 2,000 gallons of blood throughout your body each day. This merits the heart receiving your attention. To reduce emotional stress your heart needs encouragement, appreciation, and love.\n\n- Clear Out the Past Clutter\nJust as you do a spring cleaning of your house, you should also do a spring cleaning of your heart to wipe away the old memories and messages that are causing you stress. This is important, because the way we fell from moment to moment, the way we behave, and the actions we take are all conditioned to how we feel inside.
