1. Count: Find a quiet and comfortable place to sit. Then take several slow, deep breaths to help clear your mind. Now continue breathing and repeating the word "one, two, three ... " to yourself as you exhale. Practice this for two to three minutes once or twice a day. You should definitely find your stress levels dropping.

2. Time it out: Known to ease out anxiety and lower blood pressure and heart rate, music is an old but tried and true stress buster. While slow music or soothing instruments typically yield the best results, choose a style you enjoy. Make it something that grabs you and takes your focus off your worries.

3. Take a walk: Any exercise, even a leisurely 30 minute walk or bike ride, can reduce stress. While you are exercising, do not let yourself think of anything that upsets you and causes stress. Rather, focus on what you are doing; the health benefits you are achieving. If you are taking a walk, look around at the scenery, if on a treadmill or stationery bike, put on some headphones with your favorite music. Whatever you do for your mind, do not let it worry!

4. Write it out: Put the details of a stressful event down on paper. This may help unburden your mind as well as your body. Take 20 minutes a day, for three days and use that time to write about a stressful event in your life. Do not worry about spelling or style; just focus on getting it off your mind. When you are done with this, tear up your troubles and throw them out.

5. Try an over-the-counter remedy: Siberian ginseng is an herbal remedy available in health food stores and most pharmacies. It is great for bolstering the body against every day stress. Take 100mg in capsule form, three times a day for six months, followed by one dose a day for two months. Make sure the capsules standardize to one percentage eleutherosides to ensure you get enough of the active ingredient of the herb. Please note, however, if you are one who is sensitive to drugs and herbs, forget this suggestion or check with your doctor first.

6. Customize your workspace: One quick and easy way to ease workday tension is to make your desk or office feel more like home. Display snapshots of your last family vacation. Hang pictures or postcards of artwork or scenes you enjoy. Buy some fresh flowers and put them on your desk. These personal touches can help you relax even on your busiest day.
