Exercise, others: Exercising 20 minutes or more is good for your heart and stress. Distraction can help if one is feeling anxious, and relaxation exercises such as deep breathing, muscle relaxation and stretching, and activities that are soothing such as yoga can help. One can learn visualization techniques as well. Getting proper sleep and avoiding alcohol and stimulants like too much coffee or ciagarettes.
