i've found that helping others is a sure cure for my stressful moments. it takes the focus off me and the good deed is usually just the thing i need. interesting article, i concur re what they "claim" will reduce stress and doesn't. a former T suggested i brrrreeeeaaattthe slowly then let the air out slowly. all it did was make me more stressed cuz i was so focused on relieving my stress it only intensified my stress. 
did i overuse the word stress??? now i'm stressed out bout that.
