Dealing With Stress

I feel like I’ve got a lot on my plate right now. Maybe a little too much to handle. With some family illnesses on both sides, waiting for the proposal, and a lot of work drama… I’ve been wearing around the edges, to say the least. So, after a few good cries this weekend, I’m trying to come up with a plan to get myself back on track. Here’s what I have so far:

Appointment with my doctor tomorrow to find a way to cope with/heal the tension in my neck. The muscles are so tight that I have headaches all the time.
Slowly upping the amount of exercise I get each day. Anything more than ‘none’ is bound to help elevate my mood, right?
Drink more water.
Sleep better. I function best on 8 hours of sleep a night.

What else am I missing? Work is it’s whole own beast – I’m going to talk to my boss about how to best delegate and spread things out to relieve my stress and also ensure sh*t gets done. But for home… if anyone has good advice about relaxing, meditating, or anything else to help me de-stress, I’m very interested!
