What are some good ways to reduce stress? I've been having a hard time lately, and need something to calm me down! TIA

Play poppit at pogo.com. It's mindless entertainment, but oh so relaxing, IMO!

I've been struggling with this also! I can't seem to find a way to relax! I took a day off work but then when I was home I was stressing about all of the stuff I had to do at work. Then when Im at work I stress about all the wedding stuff I have to do. It's an endless cycle

Go for a massage. Better yet have FH give you one.. take a hot bath with candles all around the bathroom and play some relaxation CD's with ocean waves in the background trying to remember a certain CD that has that, but you get the idea ;)

How about aromatherapy?
I use a ton of the Lavender Vanilla aromatherapy products from Bath & Body works. I feel sooooo relaxed after taking a bath with the Lavender Vanilla bubble bath or after my FH gives me a massage using the Lavender Vanilla lotion or massage oil. They also have a linen spray in the same scent that puts me right to sleep!
ETA: Origins also has an anti-stress line. I used to chew their anti-stress gumballs all the time in college when I was stressed out.

Going to the gym helps me ALOT in terms of relieving stress....
The weather is so nice so that if you take a brisk walk for 20 minutes or so, it will make you feel relieved!

i take my dog for a walk when im stressed - seeing my puppy being so excited just to walk down the street makes me feel better!
mani/pedi's, yoga, a nap all help me too

Re: Some things to relieve stress?
yoga is great.
BTW, Spa week is coming up - maybe you can get a nice massage, or body treatment.
