For plenty of people, a go-to stress reliever is music. No matter your understanding or experience of it, music lets you listen to something other than your boss, professor, fighting kids or your own thoughts. You can pick the emotive sound you want to hear: blissful, angry, religious, loud, soft, etc. A ton to choose from. You don't even have to drop everything your doing to let music relax you. Turn it on while at work, while you're doing homework or before bed. And keep in mind: Reasearch from the University of Maryland shows that hearing music you love can relax blood vessels and increase blood flow. Music can keep you calm AND healthy!
Everyone has a personal taste in music, and maybe you can find yours at these helpful blogs:

I've personally relied on music in many a stressful situation, and I will probably mention the magic of "tuning" out stress again in the future. Try it! It's too easy to pass up.
