Visualize Yourself in a Tranquil Place.
Whether it be a quiet retreat surrounded by Jasmine trees or a hammock overlooking the sea, we all have imaginary getaways that “take us” into a place of peacefulness. If you’re feeling stressed, allow yourself to visit that haven of yours and once you’ve taken some time to yourself, you will feel more at ease with whatever caused you stress earlier.

Ask Yourself, “Will This Matter in a Year?”
When you’re stressed because of a disagreement gone bad, a missed deadline, or because your car won’t start on the day of your interview, it feels like your whole world is crumbling before your eyes. But think about it, in the scheme of things, what we sometimes allow to stress us out will not have any importance to us in the future. You will most likely reconcile the argument, catch up on your late work, and nail the next interview. Do a little time-travel in your head and think about what this problem will mean in the future. If it will be irrelevant, just breathe and let it go.

Take an Aromatherapy Bath.
Not only will a bath allow you to get away from the daily grind, aromas help with relaxation, improve your mood, and reduce stress [buzzle.com]. Place five to 10 drops of your favorite aromatherapy oil (although the best for relaxing are said to be lavender and chamomile [solveyourproblem.com]) in your bathtub. Then, take a pillow, seal it in a plastic bag and use it as a headrest. You can turn off the lights and listen to relaxing music, or otherwise read that long-awaited book.
