Given that most people have busy lives it ironically makes it harder for us to find ways to relieve our stress adding upon itself. The key to keeping you life running as smoothly and normaly as possible is to take little moments in your day for yourself.
Try to just sit down and appreciate life.
Sit outside to eat your lunch one day.
Think about what you have in your life,don't focus on what you dont have
Take a breath of fresh air and realize not everyone has that opportunity
Look around you at the world,see the beauty in it,the trees the flowers the bright sky
Take a walk,run,or bike ride, feel the fresh air and appreciate the ability you have to walk
Smile at someone you dont know

Go out of your way to try new things and appreciate life and you will see the stress in your life less, even with our hectic lives we can still take the time to appreciate the fact that we are alive. We live in a free country. If we dont haeve something we can work hard and get it. We can do anything we set out to do.
