I like to listen to nature CDs. They are really relaxing, and you can listen to them before you go to bed to help you fall asleep, or you can listen to them anytime for relaxation.
You can also try this exercise. Lay down flat on your back. Tighten your face muscles and then relax them. Go until you have don't this to every muscle in your body. Repeat this two or three times. If you do this whole exercise at least 3 times a week, it will help you be less stressed.
Good luck! :)

When you really get to the root of the stress you will usually find out that what you're stressed about is not near as big as you built it up to be.
So ask yourself what am I stressed about? And why? What am I afraid will happen? How likely is this to ACTUALLY happen? Keep asking questions like this until you get to the bottom of it. Of course, there are some real reasons to be stressed and some stress is healthy, it's what keeps us going. But if you're OVER stressed then find out why and if all this stress is needed. If you conclude that the world is NOT going to end if this doesn't get done or that doesn't happen, then simply decide not to worry about this or that. Part of de-stressing is making a CONSCIOUS DECISION to do so. Tell yourself (of course, if it's not an urgent matter) 'I refuse to be stressed about this"
If that doesn't work, take a hot bubble bath with candles lit. =)

You could make your own little spot that isn't to busy, and doesn't have a lot of distractions. Try to find a room with light mellow colors, and something that makes you relaxed. and another option is try to find some essences that make your feel relaxed. Then close your eyes take deep breaths and try to clear your mind. What also helps is jotting some of the things down that you have to do, save some for later and take breaks and go to your relaxation spot. Taking breaks can really help, try to make a schedule of your relaxing times
hope i helped :]

if i have a lot of stress or something, or if i'm angry or basically feeling any sort of emotion in excess- like a lot of happiness, or i'm really angry, or something, then i exercise and listen to loud music. i love to run, and even though i'm not great at it, it always makes me feel better. i also play music when i want to relax. make a special time for yourself everyday, and set a schedule for yourself. if you go to bed at 10, stop whatever you're doing at 9 and just sit and relax or read a book or something. i like to sit on my roof and look at the stars at night. so just find a little ritual or something that you can do like once a week, whether it's mowing your lawn or eating ice cream :)

Meditation. im serious - it works.
all you need to do is buy a meditation CD, lay on your bed, or somewhere comfortable and listen to it. Its a s simple as that.
you could also try deep breathing. a dark room, lying somewhere comfortable and breathing in through the nose, out through the mouth for a few minutes. you have to imagine that with each breath released, each trouble is being blown away one by one.
people relax in different ways, you may find that snuggling up on the sofa with a blanket and a snack whilst watchung a film is a great chill out routine :) ( because i do HAHA!)
Take it easy!

sit in a dark room away from noise with either candles(scented or not your choice) and play music softly and just close your eyes and listen to the music is a comfortable spot
