Walking is great because it is a natural stress reliever. It calms the mind, integrates the left and right sides of the brain, and also lowers your blood pressure. Try to walk whenever you can.

Another great technique to de-stress is to simply become aware of your breathing. You do not need to control your breathing, just gently be aware of it. You can either, stop what you are doing and sit quietly to focus on your breathing, or you can become aware of your breathing when you are doing something else. This will not distract you from what you are doing; it will just calm your thoughts but make you more alert at the same time.

Also, if you are feeling anxious about things either in the past or in the future, try writing about them. Writing has been shown to be great for calming the mind. When you write, you put your thoughts into words and this helps you gain some perspective on them. Writing about your problems can be as therapeutic as talking to someone. It feels like a weight has been lifted from your shoulders.
