What are some good stress relievers for when business drives me up a wall?

One of my favorites: Think of something I love to smell (or taste). Then gently breathe it in several times as if it were right in front of your nose. Use magical thinking then to take that gentle breath to the back of your neck (where a momma cat picks up her kitten). This will relax your neck muscles, allowing more oxygenated blood to flow to your brain, and your breathing to be a little deeper.
