   Prayer and reading the Bible are very effective ways to get a better perspective on the things in our lives that trouble us. Talking with a good friend or a close relative can definitely help you deal with the stress you're experiencing. Laughter and exercise are also very powerful stress busters.

   One interesting way is the topic of my latest hub -- foam rolling.
   Also, deep breath in, hold for 5 seconds, let it out. Repeat 10 times. It never fails.

   Make a room in your house a sanctuary. Put lots of trees, real or fake. light scented candles. And play enya or soft relaxation music.
   
   Lie down and tense your muscles one at a time and release. Breathe deeply.
   
   Make it a practice to do this for 10 mins daily or at least go for a brisk walk.

   Be Pain Free made a good point -- clutter can really stress you out. You begin to feel like your world is closing in on you with all the stuff! Sell some or give it away!
   Also, exercise and stretching is a great way to relieve stress, tension, and gain energy we didn't know we had. Being able to move your body will give you a sense of control over it, and a calmness that no matter what happens throughout the day, you can handle it.
