Hold it for a moment, then slowly exhale through your mouth. Breathe like this a few times until you feel calmer- until you feel the peace.

You wish you had done this or that differently. You're constantly a monkey on your own back, and it's causing you undue stress. How can you replace this stress with peace? Get over it and move on! You can't change the past, so why try?

Listen to them very long and you begin to feel the stress. A simple way you can find peace in your stressed-out world is to not listen to them. Excuse yourself from the conversation, turn off the depressing TV news, cancel your subscription the the newspaper- do whatever you have to do to escape stressful influences and find peace!

Laughing is a sure-fire method for diffusing stress and replacing it with peace. And, the best time to laugh is, when you don't feel like it! The next time you feel stress, replace it by laughing.
