    Maybe if you did some yoga exercise and some meditations .

    You could find a yoga teacher or a book and do the asanas,simple one not too difficult.

    Walking is also a great exercise to do that is a natural relaxer.

    Meditation is something that is taught and you could try to find a certified teacher;maybe a Tibetan monk:) or just do some basic meditation like this.

    Of course a body massage always helps if you have massage clinics or spas in your area.

    You have to make the time though for these.

    Take a hot bath. Then take a long nap.

    If you like to read. Read a book. Then you could do somthing you've been wanting to do for a long time.

    Then when you come back home or if you didnt leave put on some sweat pants and a tee shirt and sit down and watch a movie with your favorite ice cream and a big spoon.

    Take a good friend or relative to a fish and chips place and first have a couple glasses of wine and some easy going conversation....it helps to put it all in a different perspective

    1)I like to take hot baths...

    2)pick 2 hours out of the day and turn off ur phone ringers and just watch a good movie...

    3)have a glass of wine right before bed....

    4)have your husband give you a good back/body massage right before bed....(his hands are'nt broken right?)

    5)my favorite one...have your husband make love to you...p.s. he does'nt have to use his whole body to do this ;)

    I stretch, read, or listen to music. Exercise is also good at stress management.
