This isn't meant to be general, just some ideas for my own benefit. But if you find any of these ideas useful, awesome! Feel free to use 'em as you like.

1. 
   Buy a punching bag. It would be nice to be able to use up excess cortisol by hitting something.
   
2. 
   Go rock climbing. It's one of the paradoxes of my life: I hate heights, and yet I love climbing. So ( Read more... )
