Relieving stress...without yoga.?

Question:

My doctor told me that I needed to reduce some of the stress in my life. She recommended yoga but I am not quite sure i bend that way. Anyone know any good books or audio CD's that will really help with the stress. thanks

Answers:
i swear most of these people have just recommended yoga lol

although this is very small, it may be a great step.

5 mins twice a day, once in the morning, once in the evening breathe very deeply. this will help you wake and help you sleep. after a few days, you'll really see the effects.

gentle excersize, book reading, long baths with essential oils can all help you.

i was calmer and more poised

Sleeping...

Take a yoga classes. Many offer free passes for a week so you can check them out. It helps having an instructor guide you through the poses.

Get a massage. They are great for reducing stress.

Have sex!!! Just kidding! You should probably do the yoga, it's real relaxing and at the same time you can stay in shape!

exercise, freinds, sex.

accupunction - massage - relaxing music - reading abook - going for a nature hike or bike ride. all of these things help me.

YOU CAN REDUCE STRESS BY JUST TAKING TIME FOR YOURSELF. WATCHING A MOVIE, READING A BOOK, TAKING A WALK, OR JUST SITTING BACK AND LISTENING TO SOME MUSIC CAN HELP.
