As for stress, u just need to learn to deal with it and not let it affect you. There always will be stress but if its a due date, paying bills, etc. you just have to be confident that you can do it and the stress decreases. Other ways i deal with it is exercising, hanging out with friends, taking care of what is causing the stress before it is due so i dont have to worry about it.

Hmm, to deal with stress, retire to a monastery or Ryu in the Himalayas. It works, ROFL. As a matter of fact I DO live in the Himalayas, just not in a monastery. It's very relaxing.

Okay, for those who aren't quite in a position to do the above there are several ways.

1) Exercise while listening to music.
2) Commune with nature - a walk in a park sometime in the day is good. There a scientific basis for this, actually - the sunlight and the green wavelengths that trees radiate cause production of substances in your body that make you 'feel good' and have a calming effect.
3) Get adequate sleep - there's nothing like cutting short on sleep to stress you out.
4) Meditate. I've put up a good meditation or two at the link below, they should help - feel free to add more, anyone:

Meditations to calm the Mind and improve Focus

To everybody who said meditating could alleviate your stress - wow. I'm not saying wow because it's a bad thing; it actually is the contrary. Believe me, I have tried meditating before and everytime I do, my mind races to other thoughts. I would sidetrack and eventually give in to my brain! I need to try it some other time though and try to vacate my mind to empty thoughts.

But the easiest way for me to combat stress is to listen to music or exercise. They are what I call the "stress killers." If I really had a tough day in college, I would just go to my room, lock the door, and turn on the TV instead of doing anything. It usually ameliorates the stress. It usually helps me forget the bad day I had. But I recently read an article on TIME stating that meditating would be the best way to alleviate the stresses of a bad day.

Well, meditation is a lot like exercise, you don't start out with the heaviest meditations. Generally one does simpler meditations first that 'build you up' so you can take on more difficult meditations.

If you check out those meditations I put up on that link, you'll find that neither of them need you to empty your mind or anything of the sort, but they still have a calming effect.

Meditating is a lot like lifting weight - you don't start out with a 200 or 300 pound bench press, similarly, you don't start out with the toughest meditations, you start with simple ones and progress as your ability to concentrate and focus improves. Then it becomes easy

Why scale a cliff when there are steps cut into the side of the mountain, hehe.

stress usually stops me from thinking fairly well. so i listen to music. aside from programming and designing websites i play with my band (been to the muziklaban semis). Music really relaxes the mind and soul, keeps you excited even when tired. So its not just anti-stress but also a stimulant. Stress usually is the root of all medical abuses that killed alot of famous people.

To deal with stress, I either play video games, do exercise, read, or write out my frustrations. Difficult games keep my mind clear since I have to use 100% of my thinking power to focus on them. Writing my problems out makes it easy to get rid of my anger, stress, and sadness without talking to anyone about the issue or paying a psychologist.
