Calming routine: You might benefit from making a list of all the reasons for your anxiety. Put together a to-do list earlier in the day--not close to bedtime. Then, allow yourself to be "off-duty" in the evening. Take a refreshing and relaxing walk to enjoy looking around your world a bit. Then, try this: http://mentalhealth.About.Com/cs/stressmanagement/a/relresp.Htm good sleep hygiene can also help.

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.
