Stress, how to physically relax?

I have a stressful daycare job, it's both physical and mental stress. Physically I'm picking up heavy children while they are kicking and screaming. Mentally I'm dealing with children screaming, unhappy parents, co-workers, and boss. I have no time to exercise, although I have tried tai chi.

Stress, how to physically relax?
There are some techniques you should definitely try for stress relief:





%26gt; Practice deep breathing- a search on the net should show you the technique for this. It is proven to relax, physically.


%26gt; When you have a moment, imagine relaxing scenarios, like a beach or a forest- anything that gives you a good feeling.


%26gt; Call a friend or family member, even just to listen to their answering machines- by hearing their voice studies have shown that you will automatically start to physically relax.





Hopefully some of those tips help you. Good luck!
