 * 2) Turn on some relaxing music. It will soothe you and hopefully take you to another place besides your hectic day. Try sounds of the ocean or rain forest, or if you aren't really into that play some of your personal favorites.[[Image:Release-Daily-Stress Step 2.jpg|center]]
 * 3) Take a long, hot, bubble bath. It will make you feel so much more relaxed, and as you sit in the bath you will have time to vent your thoughts.[[Image:Release-Daily-Stress Step 3.jpg|center]]

 * 5)  Get a good night's sleep or a nap. This may be challenging if you have many things to do when you get home. However, it's good to go to sleep early at least once a week.[[Image:Release-Daily-Stress Step 5.jpg|center]]

Tips

 * If you take a bath, use your favorite bubble bath soap. Use a scent that you love and that you know will soothe you. Lavender is a very calming scent and it will make you feel at ease.
 * In addition to meditation, try yoga if you have time. It's good for the body, mind, and soul.

Warnings

 * You MAY not have enough time to do some of these things, so do something to fit your schedule. Otherwise, you'll feel more stressed.
