1. Exercise. Exercise not only burns off the stress you have it also makes your body more able to manage stress in the future. It does not need to be hard. Even a short walk can help you distress.

2. Organize. Disorganization at home or work is a symptom of and a cause of an unorganized mind. Clean up your appearance and physical surroundings. They are within your control. You always will feel better by cleaning you house. Note: A portion of individuals are obsessive-compulsive about these things. If you are admit to yourself, then use that energy to improve your diet or personal relationships or to exercise or funnel it into some other positive direction you will have less of a compulsion and be less obsessive. Vanity is just as bad as sloth. Try to find a happy medium.
