Top 10 stress relievers

1. Get active - Virtually any form of exercise and physical activity can act as a stress reliever.
2. Meditate - During meditation, you focus your attention and eliminate the stream of jumbled thoughts that may be crowding your mind and causing stress.
3. Laugh - A good sense of humor can't cure all ailments, but it can help you feel better, even if you have to force a fake laugh through your grumpiness.
4. Connect - When you're stressed and irritable, your instinct may be to wrap yourself in a cocoon. Instead, reach out to family and friends and make social connections.
5. Assert yourself - You might want to do it all, but you probably can't, at least not without paying a price.
6. Do yoga - With its series of postures and controlled-breathing exercises, yoga is a popular stress reliever.
7. Sleep - Stress often gives sleep the heave-ho.
8. Journal - Writing out thoughts and feelings can be a good release for otherwise pent-up emotions.
9. Get musical - Listening to or playing music is a good stress reliever because it provides a mental distraction, reduces muscle tension and decreases stress hormones.
10. Seek counsel - If new stressors are challenging your ability to cope or if self-care stress relievers just aren't relieving your stress, you may need to look for reinforcements in the form of professional therapy or counseling.
