There are some really good, really easy ideas! Some of them, I realized would work, like going through a door, but it was only when I read it that I realized that my mind does sort of "reset" itself when I go out a door, whether outside or even just into my garage.
And I agree with the article about how background noise can cause stress! I can't stand background noise. I never walk away and leave the tv on, or play a radio for the company it gives (the reason my mom always seemed to have tv or the radio on). And at any party I go to, there's a point where I have to get away from the babble of all the voices and just be quiet for a little while! I spend most of my day in a quiet house, and I like it like that!
I'll have to keep these things in mind and use a few, next time I feel stressed.

Me too Suzan!! I need quiet or my brain feels like it's going to explode!! When I do turn music on at home, which is rare, I only have it on for a short while and then it has to go away! In my car, though, I often will turn talk radio on or classical music, but sometimes I have to turn that off too and I only turn it on when I'm along on my way to a meeting or ladies brunch. When dh and I are in the car together, we seldom turn the radio on.

I agree that exercise is a good stress reliever. Going for a walk type of exercise too.
I also agree about the scent of nutmeg and I would add cinnamon and ginger too.
Deep breathing or taking a deep breath, holding it and releasing it, is a good stress reliever too.
A glass of wine is a nice way to relax also.
The best form of stress relief is when dh takes me out of town..lol!
It would be nice to be able to turn off stress at night though , as that seems to be the time when it all comes out and my mind goes round and round all night long. hmmmm ;O)
That does sound like you..LOL!! Those were the days my friend..lol
I used to overeat carb types of foods to reduce stress. Those days are over too and I do not miss them at all!!
Doncha know it on wanting to turn off stress at night!! Sleep is so very beneficial to our well being and so hard to attain during times of stress and worry. ::sigh::
