Yoga
It's not just for girls and/or hippies. In London, the Iyengar Institute in Maida Vale is highly recommended.
Nutrition
Are you drinking at least eight glasses of water a day? Are you getting enough vitamin C and essential fatty acids in your diet? Recommended reading on how diet affects your health includes "Beat Stress & Fatigue", "Optimum Nutrition for the Mind" and "New Optimum Nutrition Bible", all by Patrick Holford.
Meditation
Meditation reduces stress and anxiety and is no longer seen as something wacky. If you don't fancy chanting "om", then try Acem Meditation. It's a non-relgious form of meditation developed in Norway by doctors and psychologists to aid relaxation, energy, health and personal growth. Courses take place around the UK.
