1. Breathing Exercises Put yourself in a comfortable position, shut your eyes, and slowly inhale while you count to seven in your head, pause briefly, and then exhale while counting to seven once again. Do this five to ten times to relieve daily tension or for several minutes as a form of meditation.

2. Meditation Meditation is much like awaken sleep. If you haven't tried it before, you may find it hard to focus on nothingness as its often when you're at your most relaxed, that your mind starts processing all the little things you have filed away to deal with another day. See how long you can keep your mind absolutely blank for and work on increasing that duration.

3. Vitamins and Antioxidants We need a wide spectrum of vitamins and minerals, daily, to have our bodies work optimally. If you have a stressful life or job, look for a multi-vitamin with a stress formula, which should be richer in the vitamins, and minerals that help your stress-coping mechanisms.

4. Physical Exercise Not only will it allow you to become more physically fit, but it will also distract your attention away from stressful things and give you a chance to let it all out. After at least 20 min of intense exercise your body will release endorphins, which makes you feel happy.

5. Sex Who knew that bumping uglies would be one of the world's greatest stress relievers?

6. Sleep Sleep helps us cope with stress, helps to repair our body, and improves our memory and even assists in controlling our body weight. A good night's sleep for an adult should consist of 7-9 h of uninterrupted sleep. Not sleeping actually adds to your stress.

7. Listening If you have a hard time falling asleep and can't bring yourself to counting sheep, try listening. Open up your bedroom window or door to your bedroom slightly and try hard to focus on every single sound you can hear, all at the same time. This is great if you have an active mind that goes into overdrive as you try to relax. Just keep at it, and after a while your head will have let whatever thoughts were running amok go.

8. Guided Relaxation Listening to a relaxation-cd that guides you through vivid visualisations and so-called progressive muscle relaxation can be a great way to cope with stress. It can be done just about anywhere.

9. Playing Music Choose music that gives you a really positive feel with a slow to medium tempo. Avoid music that is too fast or frenetic as it may have the opposite effect. It is time to tune in!
