Can anyone give me any good ideas for stress relief and getting more in touch with my inner self. I have a really stressful job and it's starting to catch up with me.

My boss tells me that we get stressed when we are unable to accept certain things or facts. I think it's true.
Everytime I get stressed, I now ask myself why am I not accepting this fact. By answering myself, I find ways to overcome it. Acting is always the best way to deal with stress. Leaving things that worries us makes things worst. A situation usually does not goes away by itself unless acted upon.
Another way I deal with stress is to read self help books. I would recommend the following three books:
1. The Magic of Thinking Big
2. Don't Sweat the small stuff
3. Success Principles
Lastly, i try to master the art of ignoring things or events that makes me stressed!
Check out a site I created when I was stressed! Haha! http://stress.50webs.com which eventually led to http://www.wanginternet.com

Save your vacation time, and then use it to do all the things you enjoy. Turn your television off, especially the news; it will only stress you more. But find time for yourself, quiet time, prayer time, time with friends and family, whatever makes you feel better. For me personally, nothing beats a good pedicure and a smoothie!

drink green tea,take one hour a day just for yourself, if you are depressed also get a little counciling it can't hurt and you might be surprized how much it will help. the green tea will help get rid of impurities in the blood which attach to cells that your normal stress reducing hormones attach to. reducing the impurity levels gives your own body a chance to try and help heal itself

Tai Chi, mediation, hot cocoa, warm bags of peppermint tea on your eyelids, not necessarily in that order or all at once, of course!! Good luck.
