    I have been doing yoga now for several months and I find that it does release all anxiety and stress from my body!

    I pray about my problems and that gives me peace to give my problems to the Lord and he can fix them and give me strength to endure them.

    A long, hot bath always helps.

    Talking helps me to deal with it in the beginning but getting up and moving sure helps it get put to rest. ;)

    i usually eat first and go to friends, but in the end it is prayer time that really makes things better for me.

    I use almost all of these. If one doesn't help, I try something else.
