Well stress comes in two flavors: positive stress and negative stress. For me personally, if the negative stress gets overwhelming, I try to add more positive stress to counter-balance it.
An example would be: I'm super frustrated and stressed about losing a potential-client to a competitor: okay, time to go climb a mountain; or spend a few hours wailing a punching bag.
I'm not the kind of person who can simply calm down and breathe through a problem, I need to get my frustration out somehow.
Sometimes horribly bad. And by bad I mean ignoring the thing causing my stress. Way not recommended. But I usually get over it fairly quick.
For positive recommendations, when I push past the stupidity of ignoring the situation (or hopefully avoid doing that). I will physically work out more to help deal with the stress, talk to people to make sure I am heading the right direction and I am an obsessive organizer the more I get stressed. The organization helps me deal with unknowns, or at least let me feel like I am.
