I've recently found out that I am quite sick. Nothing terminal, but stressful regardless. What are some things I can do to relax, and stop stressing out so much?

Listen to music...maybe make a CD of all your favorite songs to listen to while you do other activities. Exercise is a proven stress-reducer. Maybe take yoga or art classes. Spend time with a family member. Watch movies. Don't sweat it too much (:

Well, for one thing, you can clear your mind of everything and only think of simple thoughts like, "Hey, I never remembered the grass being so green!" or "I think today I will do whatever makes me happy!" In my case, things that stress me out end up being things that are able to be solved very easily...

Yoga and meditation. Takes patience, but well worth it. Feel better, Shelby!:)

Just lay back and relax. Get plenty of rest, and they say grape juice is very good for you when you are sick too. I hope this is helpful. :) -In the Master's service. Thank you and God bless you!

I have been sick since I was 37. I don't have anything terminal either but I should have appreciated my good health more when I had it.

Oh Shelby I am so sorry , they say yoga is good for many things. I have not tried it yet, but my doctor wants to do try it. I need to relax also. My prayers are with you

All the answers are great. A couple of things I'd like to add are: Whenever you can, take a lavender (the scent of lavender is proven to help with relaxation) bath while listening to some of your favorite relaxing music. I even sometimes read a light book while I'm soaking. Another thing you could try would be to find a hobby that takes your mind off everything. Something you can just get lost in. Also, if you have a pet, be sure to spend time stroking him/her - it's another proven stress reliever.
