My stress level is retardedly high. But nothing I can do to lower the stress level.

So Ive decided to try to take action to reduce the stress's physical (and eventual mental) harm on my body.

Things I am doing:
-Eating 2-3 raw veggies before every meal
-Actually eating 3 meals a day. Smaller but better than one big meal like I usually do
-Running for 20 minutes every morning (instead of one or two long runs during the week)
-Yogurt! Plus berries and granola for breakfast. I need to stop relying on Cliff bars for breakfast.

Any other suggestions? Besides "stop doing whatever is stressing you out". Because thats IMPOSSIBLE right now.

i'm in a similar spot, i'm just starting to play guitar again because i'm horrible at it and won't get better by not playing! so hopefully that will help some. but yeah, i've not gotten to the point of actually doing something about it yet, just lots of deliberation. i've been considering starting to do yoga because i've had a really difficult time focusing lately and i think that might help.

the veggies and fruits are important too! funny how i'm a "vegetarian" i guess but don't really get enough fruit!

maybe less caffeine? i'm up and down with it, i love coffee but sometimes i think it stresses me out. i try and drink a lot more water when i drink coffee and it seems to help.

so i guess...yoga = my suggestion. seems silly and foreign to me still but some people i totally respect are really into it and i'd like to give it a try.
