I do yoga pilates to relieve stress or I make sure I take time for me. Believe me being a Grad student as well as a department assistant stress KiLLS... but the main thing is to take as hard as possible not to freak out and like it over take you. Realize... "this to shall pass".

I like to take walks and watch birds. "Hunting" for them gets my mind off things and I get some exercise. It is just so relaxing to be away from everyone, in nature.
