Set aside time each day for yourself. Do whatever you want and make sure everyone knows this time is for you and you alone. That way when things get hetic either at work or at home, you will know your time is comming.

I set aside about 30 min a day. I fill up the tub with a bubble bath and take in the book I'm currently reading and sit there for half an hour. With three kids, I have learned that I must do this to stay sane. lol

Well, I like to relieve stress by window shopping or just wandering around a store to look at things. A lot of chocolate helps, or getting a special treat like a Starbucks coffee or ice cream or something like that. Exercise helps, and I nap a lot when I'm stressed. Reading helps me, too.
