Music -- that's it!

I sing in a men's chorus -- we rehearse weekly -- and that sure lowers the stress level because I get to perform and use the right side of my brain a little. It's so much fun that I always leave feeling great, no matter how crumby I felt when I arrived.

On a less macro level, I find it's very useful to just go outside and have a walk, or even stand and watch the traffic flow -- I work near Jane and Bloor in Toronto, so that's four lanes of city traffic zooming around, the wind in the trees, usually a cup of coffee in hand.

I haven't tried any 'breading' techniques -- the closest I come to that is using Shake'n'Bake on chicken or pork when I'm making supper. Cooking's fun, but except for kneading bread or pizza dough it's not exactly a stress-reliever. ;)
