Working out a few times a week is wonderful. Running a marathon every other day won t make serve as an effective stress-buster. Learn to relax. There are lots of ways to relax. Some people meditate on a phase on a single word called a mantra repeated again and again.
Meditation allows one to focus and clear the mind.
A host of research indicates that meditation works. Another highly effective strategy that has been used for over 60 years is the so-called Jacobson method. Repeat the relaxation with each muscle group a couple of times and work your way through the entire body. One irony is that some this approach makes some people feel more uptight during the muscle tension phase. For persons who react negatively to this approach I d wholeheartedly recommend a different approach in which you mentally command yourself to relax each and every muscle group.
