20 Ways to Relieve Stress. I need this.

1. Work it off. Blow off steam physically with activities.
2. Talk out your worries. It helps to share concerns with someone you trust and respect. Sometimes another person can help you see a new side to your problem and, thus, a new solution.
3. Say "no" more often. Refuse inappropriate requests and turn down invitations you really don't have time for.
4. Learn to accept what you cannot change. If the problem is beyond your control at this time, try to your best to accept it until you can change it.
5. Relax your standards. Doing everything perfectly is not only unnecessary--it's boring. Life's a lot easier when you ignore a little dirt, take shortcuts when appropriate, let the grass grow a bit higher.
6. Find the humor in it. Every dilemma has something funny about it if you look for it.
7. Change your perspective. Instead of worrying, "what will happen if...", ask, "so what?"
8. Avoid self-medication. Speaks for itself.
9. Get enough sleep and rest. Ditto.
10. Get help with the jobs you hate. Barter or pay for the help if you need to; it's worth it.
11. Establish a serene place of your own. Even if it's just a comfortable chair in a quiet corner.
12. Count your blessings. Rarely is anything so bad that it couldn't be worse, and it helps to remember that. Appreciate what's going well.
13. Balance work and play. Amen.
14. Take time out. Breathe deeply, stretch your muscles, nap, meditate, anything.
15. Do something for others. Sometimes when you're distressed, you concentrate too much on yourself and your situation. Get your mind off yourself.
16. Take one thing at a time. It's self-defeating to tackle all your tasks at once. Set some aside and work on the most urgent.
17. Unclutter your life. Anything you do to simplify your life helps reduce stress.
18. Give in once in a while. IF you find the source of your stress is other people, try giving in instead of fighting and insisting you're always right. Other might begin to give in, too.
19. Reward yourself after stressful activities. Stop for a special lunch or treat, relax with a favorite tv show or book.
20. Make yourself available. When you're bored, stressed or feeling left out, go where there are people. Sitting alone can get frustrating.
