When I get stressed out over all this stuff, I get away from the computer.

I read some of my old books that I haven't touched in decades.

I organize some aspect of my home life.

I listen to music!

Or write poetry. Apparently anxiety is good for me on that count.

I walk around in the garden and photograph the coming spring.

All of these help!
