Sounds very intense:

Picoult bangs out another ripped-from-the-zeitgeist winner, this time examining a condemned inmate's desire to be an organ donor. Freelance carpenter Shay Bourne was sentenced to death for killing a little girl, Elizabeth Nealon, and her cop stepfather. Eleven years after the murders, Elizabeth's sister, Claire, needs a heart transplant, and Shay volunteers, which complicates the state's execution plans. Meanwhile, death row has been the scene of some odd events since Shay's arrival-an AIDS victim goes into remission, an inmate's pet bird dies and is brought back to life, wine flows from the water faucets. The author brings other compelling elements to an already complex plot line: the priest who serves as Shay's spiritual adviser was on the jury that sentenced him; Shay's ACLU representative, Maggie Bloom, balances her professional moxie with her negative self-image and difficult relationship with her mother. Picoult moves the story along with lively debates about prisoner rights and religion, while plumbing the depths of mother-daughter relationships and examining the literal and metaphorical meanings of having heart. The point-of-view switches are abrupt, but this is a small flaw in an impressive book. 1,000,000-million copy first printing.(Mar.)

Nothing real different from anyone else:

* Verbal dump of feelings to at least one person that I can be completely honest with and even share my "what about me" feelings to (counselor if no one else).

*Like Kelli my shoulder go up to my ears too, so during times of severe stress I actually do get a massage at least once a week.

*Living in MA and being inside for work and with a homebound spouse, I ended up with a Vitamin C and D deficiency, so for me going out to get a tan really was a health thing (is here in FL too but here I can just go outside).

* Reading nonserious stuff is a stress breaker for me too. I read Janet Evanovich's series while hanging out in emergency rooms (laughing out loud which freaked out the nurses.

* And videos. Don't know what I would do without them. Play them over and over again. Even videos of kids books like the Secret Garden (which my mother used to read to me) or history like the Civil War series. And funny ones like Leap of Faith that have a good sound track.

* Dancing around by myself in my living room to "road traveling / upbeat" music

* Getting into the car and going on a "road trip" -- even a short one to the next town to eat lobster rolls or something

* Having a hobby or interest that I can do on the computer at home that I am completely obsessive about. Mine primary one is genealogy. I also completely spec'd out and "furnished" a Class B van one year (just virtually). And then there are these forums - can't stress about myself or my loved ones at home when I'm chatting with you all.

* make jokes - even bad ones - even morbid humor (heck, esp. morbid humor). "He won't get far on foot" is my favorite cartoon ( you can see it on this page <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://webpages.charter.net/denny3249/webpage4.htm">http://webpages.charter.net/denny3249/webpage4.htm</a> ) -- and my late husband's as well.

Firstly every week make a time schudle according to your most important task. Some people can work better in the morning and more facused in the evening so now you can decide according to you and you can play a game with yourself against of clock.

I think we can make our weekly plan in the starting of week according to your lifestyle. Then we can manage stress easily like: make a schedule of morning walk, eat food on the time, minimum 8 hour working in your office, play games and share your feeling with your friends.
