Stress Relievers: 25 Ways to Reduce Stress

There is a great series of articles in About.com titled Stress Relievers: 25 Ways to Reduce Stress…

Due to the length of all the stress busters I will only post 8 but then give you the link to go and check out the rest on your own.

1. Guided Imagery
   Practicing guided imagery is a fun and simple way to take a break from stress, clarify what you want, and build optimism. It’s a relatively quick pathway to mental peace.
2. Self-Hypnosis
   Self-hypnosis provides a simple and relaxing route to changing habits, relaxing your body, altering your thought patterns, and more. Because all of these can be stress relievers, self-hypnosis is well worth the effort.
3. Autogenics
   Autogenics allows you to change your physiology with your mind, and reverse your stress response easily.
4. Journaling
   Journaling can be used in several different ways, all of which can relieve stress. Because journaling is proven by research to bring several health benefits in addition to stress relief, this stress reliever is highly recommended.
5. Meditation
   Meditation brings short-term stress relief as well as lasting stress management benefits. There are many different forms of meditation to try–each one is unique and brings its own appeal.
6. PMR
   Progressive muscle relaxation, or PMR, is a technique that allows you to relax all of the muscles in your body, group by group. Beginning sessions take several minutes, and allow you to feel physically and emotionally relaxed when done. With practice, you can achieve full-body relaxation within seconds.
7. Yoga
   Yoga incorporates breathing exercises, meditation, and light exercise. One session brings initial stress relief, and continued practice brings greater resilience to stress. It’s one of the more potent stress relievers.
8. Breathing
   Breathing exercises provide convenient and simple stress relief in that they can be used anytime, anywhere, and they work quickly.”

There is a list of some proven effective methods of relieving stress.
