Abjure all accretions and turn off the lights. Put on some music - Leonard Cohen, say, perhaps his 'Various Positions' - and let your mind cool down. Soon you'll forget there's a word called 'stress.'
Still the bubbling mind; herein lies freedom and bliss eternal.
Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
Every night, I have to read a book, so that my mind will stop thinking about things that I stress about.
Yoga is the best holistic workout and body toner there is. It sorts out a chaotic mind and calms the body - it is how I de-stress - or stop myself getting stressed in the first place.
Sleep, thou patron of mankind, Great physician of the mind Who does nor pain nor sorrow know, Sweetest balm of every woe.
Meditation is the most effective form of relaxation. It not only relaxes the body and mind but also feeds them with vital energy, peace and happiness.
Breathing in the proper state gets you into a state where you digest food better and calms your brainwaves down.
Vain, very vain, my weary search to find That bliss which only centers in the mind.
