My girlfriend uses aromatherapy an excellent source of stress reduction. I find this to be particularly helpful. Just take a few minutes to relax in the middle of the day and imagine that you are somewhere very peaceful. I travel , and I listen to music a lot while I'm on the road. This seems to help out with every day stress.
Relaxing music is great.
Television can really increase your stress level. Or you may find that you have disorganized thoughts and are rarely enjoying yourself. I am sure that many of the chatters can tell you about their experiences with this. As you said, that is a crisis situation. Quite different from the day to day stress that we are talking about and maybe better to leave for a separate chat.
