Eating a banana every other day is good for stress and a lot of other things. And slow down, smell the flowers.

I have been doing pilates and it helps. I understand Yoga is even better (yes, guys do that, too.). If working ut isn't you thing, you might want to try to keep a journal. It really helps you manage stress because you put all of your worries down on paper, then close the book and set it aside. This simple gesture works wonders with your brain. You are telling yourself that your worries are important, but you need to set them aside for now so you can enjoy life. Then you can go back to them later.Best wishes.

A 15 minute nap in the early afternoon can significantly increase your productivity and performanceSex in moderation (1 or 2 sessions a week ... not 1 or 2 session an hour!!) can boost your immune system and increase resistance to colds, flu and infections.Researchers at Wilkes University in Pennsylvania found that levels of immunoglobulin A (an antigen found in saliva and mucosal linings) were higher in subjects having sex in moderation but lower in those who had very frequent sex.Time out for sex could also have a positive effect on stress levels

tanu... firstly accept that you're stressed, don't deny the fact or push it to the back of your mind.. it only aggravates it and it comes back stronger. Sit in a comfortable position and just close your eyes and take 5 to 10 deep breaths and let it go out slowly. Visualise yourself surrounded by a pink bright light and say to yourself in your mind or aloud in a soft and steady voice " I'm feeling calm and composed." Listen to soft music and do anything that is a hobby to you or play with pets, friends or pray to God. Hope this helps u out.... with warmth and cheer... Heartwalker.

Regularly walking, eating or working in a rushed way. Regularly thinking and worrying about the past or future. Frequent tension in the body (esp. neck, face, shoulders, back and chest, and stomach) which often goes unnoticed until one slows down, breaths deep and carefully surveys the body. Feeling of the "weight of the world" on your shoulders. Emotionally "on edge."Regular tiredness during the day. Significant need for outside stimulation to feel good (coffee, sweeteners, food, sex, TV, alcohol, money, accomplishments, etc.) Some Strategies to AvoidAttempting to make everything in life stress-free. Focusing on every event and constantly reminding yourself to relax. Regularly avoiding the feeling of emotions (e.g., sadness, anger, joy, fear, etc.). There are a number of other things which will not work in the long run when used by themselves only -- long vacations, execise, etc.

Strenuous physical exercise on a regular basis will releave most forms of stress. The human body under stress will release hormones and chemicals to prepare the body for "fight or flight." This is an atavistic response to most stresses we face in the modern world. Preparing for a fight or for running away is ineffective when it's your wife or your boss causing the stress.Regular, stenuous exercise at least three times per week for 30 minutes each time will generally handle these hormones and chemicals quite well. After all, physical exercise is, in effect, a sort of "flight." :)

This is an age old question. The simplest way to avoid stress, do not sweat the small things, let them go. Leave work at the work place. Do not be confrontational. Meditate. Find time for yourself.
