Sit Outside
If it is pretty outside, go out and find somewhere to sit. Just concentrate on everything around you, like the sky, animals, the wind blowing through the trees or something else. This is a great way to relax.
Positive Attitude
Try keeping a positive attitude. In order to do that, though, you have to surround yourself with positive people. If there is someone who just makes you feel worse about yourself, try to keep distance from them. If you are around people with positive attitudes and if they don't bring you down, it will help your self-esteem.
Visualization
There are two types of visualization which will both help you be able to relax more easily. The first type is where you concentrate on pleasant scenes. They can be scenes from your past or you can just make them up. Try to remember every little detail about a past vacation and it will possibly let you relive it or just create your own. The second type is where you try to imagine your pain. An example is you might imagine that your swollen knee is bright red and, after you create this, you try to change it. Watch the red slowly disappear until the pain is gone. This will help your stress and pain disappear.
Keeping A Journal
Try writing your thoughts and feelings in a journal. Getting stuff off your mind is a wonderful thing to do. It will help you sleep and relax a lot easier. Also if you find something that really helps your stress or if you find something that makes it worse jot it down in your journal. Keeping records of how you're feeling will help you pinpoint the exact causes of your stress and fatigue.
Puzzle Books
Working a crossword puzzle or other kind of puzzle is a great way to relax. You can usually find puzzle books at your local bookstore or variety store like Wal-Mart.
Herbal Tea
Try drinking a warm cup of herbal tea for relief of stress and fatigue. It is soothing and a great way to relax. Or, if you don't like herbal tea, try a warm glass of milk.
Do Something Creative
If you have a hobby like drawing, painting, building bird houses, or anything creative like that, it's a great way to relax. It helps you concentrate your mind on something besides your pain.
