In a previous blog post, I listed the first 20 stress busters from my "Top 100 Stress Busters" list.
This blog post identifies the next 20 stress busters (#21 - #40).
21. Watch a sunrise or sunset.
22. Watch the clouds change form as they move.
23. Take time to view the beauty around you – flowers, landscapes, storms, rainbows, etc.
24. Visit a national park; they contain so much beauty.
25. Hang a bird feeder and watch the birds fly to and from the feeder.
26. Buy an aquarium and watch the fish swim and play.
27. Adopt a pet or play with your own dog or cat.
28. Plant flowers or a tree. Trees provide the oxygen we need to survive.
29. Engage in retail therapy - go shopping and buy something for yourself.
30. Read a good book or magazine.
31. Watch or rent a good movie, preferably one that makes you laugh.
32. Attend a play or musical.

34. Watch a soap opera and focus on someone else’s problems.
35. Call or visit a close friend or family member.
36. Hug your friends and family members.
37. Take a long walk.
