How to deal with stress?

[PurpleTree]

My body always reacts strongly to stress.

Can't sleep, stomach feels like on a rollercoaster, mind goes loopy etc. etc. 

Meditation etc. does help but when i'm stressed i can't even get into it. Magnesium can help. Breathing exercises. Benzos are great but not a long term solution obviously.

How do you deal with stress?

Exercise, and time in nature if possible. I like running, or walking/hiking or swimming, anything that's mindless and can be done outside. It will help you sleep and then the sleep will help the stress.
