What are some proven stress relief methods you use?

I’ve been told I need to relieve stress. Ive started listening to soft music at bedtime, and thats helped. looking for some more ideas.

Answer
Stress – it’ll Kill ya (or maybe me first)

You could think of it as a river – and you are the dam. It comes in at different speeds, and you have options that will build it up, or let it out.

First – manage stress coming in.
Don’t overdo it. – sign up, and tackle only what you can do, work on your to-do list, and git er done. Don’t bite off more than you can handle in one day.

Stress is digested fear. Fear that you won’t get things done. Fear that you’ll get fired. Fear that your relationship will fail. Logically manage what you can, and if something material is creating too much stress, it might be better to let it go.

Stress can be dispelled, once it’s tortured you.
techniques like meditation, exercise and rest are proven.
Of the meditation techniques I’ve used, the most recent is the “mindfulness” approach of Kabat-Zinn (possibly misspelled). Yoga helps some, and there are many approaches which are often taught in local communities and hospitals. – (if not, ask the doctor that told you to de-stress)

Sleep is critical – if you short yourself you could become one of those sleep deprived reality show types. Nutrition is relevant. Alcohol is anti sleep – it whacks your REM sleep – and after it wears off, you’re no further ahead in the stress game. Recent studies show that exercise directly works on the circuitry of depression – worsened by stress.

Finally if non-medical means don’t work, and you’re really becoming unravelled, there are medical approaches – antidepressant, other – which can be used – but I favor the natural. Lower cost and side effect rate.
