Bedtime routine: Anxiety can cause insomnia. I'd suggest prior to bedtime avoiding any stimulating activity such as computer time, television, etc.... Instead try to relax with a warm epsom salt bath and read or play soothing music. Allow your mind to wind down and stop analyzing the events of your day.

Stay active: Exercise is a great way to relieve stress. Your body releases endorphins during exercise, which can help you feel calm. If you exercise 30 - 60 minutes a day, your stress levels can improve. When stressed, take 5 slow, deep breaths with your eyes closed, then roll your shoulders forward 5 times, then back 5 times. This will slow your heart rate and release tension in your neck and shoulders.
