Try and find the cause of your stress, and work on it, exercise helps a lot , along with a good nights sleep, and drinking enough water, in fact I think they have a book out titled STRESS AND WATER.\nIt is so hard today in our fast paced life styles, not to be stressed out. I could also say not to worry, but doesn't seem to fit with life styles today either.\nLaughter is so therapeutic, and is a good medicine.

The most effective treatment is thought-control, in which when you get upset, you turn your thoughts to those that tend to calm you down, instead of make you more upset.  After this, exercise, plenty of sleep, and a balanced diet with a vitamin supplement.  These are all known to significantly decrease stress.

Take a moment to pamper myself once in awhile. Relieve stress by meditation, yoga, or just kickin' it and watching something on the tube. Music makes me dance, dance makes me feel good about my body. Taking a long walk and breathing the fresh air and wathcing things around me makes me appreciate the fact that I am here, and in the body I am in.

You can find healthy outlets to relieve your stress.  You can take a break from the stressor by pursuing an alternative activity temporarily.  You might try reading, exercise, watching TV, listening to music, or any other activity that you enjoy doing.  You can feel refreshed afterward, and return to the original activity with a new outlook on it.\n\nAlso, don't overlook the possibility of talking it over with others.  Sometimes other people's insights can really help you.

Clean out a closet, wash the floor, take a walk for 30 minutes...burn off the stress with something physical.  It is a temporatary band aide only though.  Real stress needs to be dealth with or it will leave you with physiological problems somewhere in the body.  What goes on above the neck affects what goes on below the neck.

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!

Depends on whats causing the stress. For example, if its work related then a chat with your boss or, more extreme, leaving for a new job, would help. You really have to sit and think whats making you stressed and deal with each thing individually. I was off work for 2 months last year following family problems as I just lost the plot (usually very laid back and easy going but suddenly snapped, yelled, threw stuff then broke down in tears all in my office), I went for some counselling and that put everything into perspective. Good luck.

Have something you can hit that won't damage anything. Like a punching bag. Take all the stress out on that until you're so tired you don't care.
