Ways to Cope with Stress
The irony is that the best remedy for a busy lifestyle is sex. It relieves stress, helps you sleep better and maintains your connection with your guy, which can lead to less arguments, ergo less stress, explains Laurie Mintz, Ph.D, psychologist and author of 'A Tired Woman's Guide to Passionate Sex.'
"The first step to recovery is to embrace and understand and believe that sex is an incredibly important part of life and relationships and marriage. ...it really is what differentiates [marriage] from a logistical partnership," Mintz points out.


Relaxation techniques such as yoga, meditation, and deep breathing activate the body’s relaxation response, a state of restfulness that is the opposite of the stress response. When practiced regularly, these activities lead to a reduction in your everyday stress levels and a boost in your feelings of joy and serenity. They also increase your ability to stay calm and collected under pressure.
