Tap and Breath: With psychological stress you perceive a situation as threatening in some way, and specific areas of the brain stimulate a pervasive effect throughout the body. Sometimes this is necessary and other times unnecessary. You can reduce the latter with mindfulness exercises daily and deep breath and energy tapping in the moment.

Biofeedback and use of stress management relaxation cd's or dvd's can help one self treat. There are meds to help anxiety.

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.
