I hear it everywhere, read it everywhere-everybody's stressed out. The mad rush of daily activities drives many women stressfully insane. You try to please everyone and do what everybody needs you to do. At the end of the day, you wish you had no more stress. Try these simple, calming stress relief ideas.

Stress Relief Idea #1 - Listen to soothing music. If you own an MP3 player, download a nice variety of soothing music. Whether you enjoy soft jazz, easy listening or classical music doesn't matter. Keep a good variety of your favorites readily available for 5- or 10-minutes de-stressing sessions.

Stress Relief Idea #2 - Laugh out loud. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how much laughing can relieve tension. Read the funny paper. Buy the latest issue of a comic book. Read some jokes. Skim through the humor section of greeting cards in a store.

Stress Relief Idea #3 - Go for a walk. Walking is an easy form of exercise that is conducive to stress relief. Walking outdoors helps you get back in touch with nature.

Stress Relief Idea #4 - Light a candle. Keep a handful of small scented candles on hand (or a pillar candle of your favorite scent!) for stressful days. Light a candle, grab a book, and relax in your easy chair.

Stress Relief Idea #5 - If you enjoy hot bubble baths, light your candles, dim the lights and soak in a nice hot bubble bath. Lock the door, turn off the phone and settle in for a 30-minute DIY spa soak.

Stress Relief Idea #6 - Take a Kickboxing Aerobics class. Several years ago I joined a Kickboxing Aerobics class. I was nervous at first because I'd never done any type of exercise like this. I thoroughly enjoyed this exercise though. The kicking and punching in the air, combined with kicking and punching a bag is highly effective in relieving stress after a long day.
