Let me know me know which of the ways of dealing with stress below would work for you. if none of them sound like the would help you relax, let me know something that you could do to free your mind and relax.

You knew I would have to start with exercise. We all know excercise makes us feel better, but how often do we really do it when we most need to? Excercise releases tension and actually energizes us. Some other examples of healthy responses to stress are playing music, expressive arts, dance, self-defense courses, running, taking time out, 10 deep breaths, a long bath, a good book. These are all ways to beat stress and win back our quality of life.
