1. Use the Massage Buddy System
   Arrange with a friend, spouse or co-worker to give each other a one-minute shoulder massage and back-rub a couple times a day, or as stress demands. Use this technique whenever you detect physical symptoms of stress. Massaging tense muscles feels good and is relaxing.
2. Journal
   We need an outlet for our positive and negative feelings. There are a variety of ways to express feelings, such as dancing, talking, painting, and writing. You might try writing your feelings in a private journal or notebook. Expressing your feelings in this way is harmless and can be therapeutic. Find a technique that works for you so that you can come in closer touch with your feelings.
3. Exercise and Burn Calories
   Exercise is a proven way to manage stress. If burning calories is on your mind, remember that you have to burn 3,500 extra calories (beyond your body's daily needs) to lose one pound of body weight. Consider spending the calories in these ways (estimates based on 150-lb. male).

4. Honest Positive Appraisals
   At the end of a day, we are often tempted to focus on what we did not accomplish instead of what we did accomplish. get into the habit of praising what you did accomplish. Before you go to bed, write down three positive things you've accomplished that day, no matter how small you may think they are. Reflect on your daily successes!
