Any advice on how to relax??

i get really stressed , and i have trouble relaxing...any ideas?Any advice on how to relax??
i like going for long walks somewhere calm and then find a nice peaceful place to sit and relax. bring along your mp3 player and play soothing music or listen to the nature around you. if you dont have a place nearby that would help you, just lock yourself in the room and dim the lights. just lie down in bed and imagine yourself in a place where you are most relaxed (like the beach or the mountains). you should feel better after a bit...Any advice on how to relax??
You should do a complete theraphy...





First, turn-off your phone and any other noisy thing. Then, prepare a warm bath, put your favorite calm and quiet music on your iPod and then, place a drop of lavender essence in your ears and back your head... turn off the lights and keep relaxed.
Listen to relaxing music, read a book, spend time with your friends/family/pets. Do exercise of some sort.
xanax. or valium or ativan or klonopin
I have to leave my stressful environment, it helps when I go in my car with no radio on and just close my eyes and try to tune out.
take a bubble bath with candles and oils or get a massage
Answering questions in here does it for me.
Go for a walk. As a retired mental health practitioner of 20+ years and an avid aerobic exerciser in long distance running and even longer distance bicycle racing and riding, I can assure you that if you walk regularly, purely for the ';fun'; of it, and no chore at all attached to it, you will be relaxed when you return. If you consume anything with caffein in it, you need to cut back on that. Watching your sugar intake is important here too. But, as an M.D. who once worked with me said, ';If people would just go for a small walk four or five times a week, much of their tension would start going away with regularity, but many of them won't do it because it's too easy, and free. People like to pay big money for 'treatment' instead of actually solving the problem.'; God Bless you.
take time to exercise, swimming is a great relaxer, try reading a book you always meant to read, get a massage once a month....don't sweat the small stuff
Take a deep breath and start meditating
