    I was thinking of asking the same question. The only thing I can think to do besides indulging in poor eating habits ( either not eating at all or binging on chocolate) would be to have a long chat with one of my sisters or go for a walk.

    I would say a good workout like zumba or swimming.

    I concur, good hard exercise and I also like to immerse myself into one of my hobbies to distract myself when it does get stressful.

    A good workout does the trick for me. Running, cycling, lifting, etc.

    Breathing exercises are nice. I don't do them all the time, but I've found that just taking 5-10 minutes to sit and focus on my breathing can really help me during a stressful time.

    And of course, exercise. I run during my lunch break at work almost every day, and I absolutely love it. It energizes me for the afternoon, bleeds off nervous energy I may have that day, and gives me an hour or so of time to just think about all the things I want to accomplish, or to think through issues, problems, etc.
