The following relaxation tips can help you manage stress more effectively:
Jog
Jogging is a great relaxation technique since it is a form of aerobic exercise. It thus keeps your body healthy during stressful times since it burns stress hormones and reduces your likelihood of developing stress-related illnesses.
Jogging also elevates levels of the “feel-good” hormones known as endorphins which make you feel better.
Therefore schedule time to jog for around 30 minutes thrice a week and you will definitely be running away from the hazardous effects of stress.
Keep your God Time
Prayer has been proven to be of benefit to patients in the hospital since it helped then recover faster.
Praying also offers a safe avenue for venting and releasing your problems since God will never divulge your secrets.

Focus on God
When you are facing a great multitude of problems and you don't know what to do, keep the eyes of your heart and mind focussed on the Lord because He knows what to do like King Jehoshaphat and the Israelites did when they were faced with their stressful problem for they said, "O our God …we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You." (2 Chronicles 20:12)
Focus on God's immense power and not on the immensity of your problems and you will not be daunted by your challenges.
Focus on His omnipotence and not on your impotence and you will be at peace even in the middle of the storm for His Word promises us that You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. (Isaiah 26:3)
