Tips for Frequent Travelers1. Don't be alone. Strike up a conversation with a friend or even a stranger. It doesn't have to be a philosophical or political debate. Small talk is a great stress buster. 2. Listen to Music. Take a portable player or radio with you while on the road. Music, particularly your favorite music, will induce relaxation and produce "feel good" hormones known as endorphins. 3. Connect with your Gods. Whether you are traditionally religious or observe new age spirituality, try to connect with your Gods, by praying or meditating. 4. Breathing Exercise: This is one kind of relaxation technique which can be done virtually anywhere. Try to inhale through the nose, while slowly counting to five. Hold your breath for three counts. Slowly exhale through counting to five. Repeat until you feel better. 5. Relax Your Muscles: Try to slowly tighten and then slowly relax different groups of your muscles from tips of your toes to the top of your head, visualizing each stage of the process.
