if i feel stressed

1)listen to soothing music
2)take deep breaths(this allows u to take in more air.this relieves slight headaches)
3)focus on something or think about something else for sometime
4)after sometime i would think about the reason which caused me all that stress.
5)call my close friend, telling what happened relieves me.
6)if nothing works then i would rest for sometime and get up fresh and then think over it.

basically i would get my selves cool by then.

I look at my options.

1. Can I back off, and find something else pleasurable to do, something that I know is not stressful? for example: cleaning around the house, working on a project, listening to music, go for a walk, meditate, practice my qigong, take a nap

2. If I cannot disengage from the stimulus, I sometimes focus on my breath and this helps me get back into my body and out the mind that is reacting to the stress.
