Being outside doing something active, running, walking, gardening, help me keep stress down for most, if not all of the day. If I feel a bit stressed or cranky in the evening, I find meditation helps, or a long soak in the tub also is very pleasant.

I've had a stressful week, still helping my grandson with school, went to church this morning, had to be there by 8 am and stay over for a few hours after service to help with a big event we are working on so I didn't get back home until after 1. The first thing I did was take a shower with Philosophy fresh cream warm cashmere and got in my pj's.  I feel so much better now!  I love this Philosophy scent it's so relaxing to me. I'm going to relax the rest of the day, watch TV and nap!

So my question is what do you do to relieve a stressful day?

I don't have any of the types of days you describe.

i was spending a lot of time hunched over my laptop at work.  I would come home with a sore neck, shoulders and lower back.  So I would ice these areas when I came home while watching GH on my DVR.  I finally got a laptop stand, keyboard and mouse and now I have no soreness.  So now I just chill out by watching GH.

I no longer feel any stress whatsoever. I am an avid walker. Walking for me relieves any type of stress. It releases natural endorphins. You won't believe how much exercize can help a persons psyche. No excuses...walk. Woman Happy

I put my feet up and read a good book with a glass of Chardonnay or a cup of tea.

Stress is subjective and sometimes you just learn to live with it.
