How do you relieve extreme stress in the short term?

Stressors have been pounding at me one after the other today from all quarters: family, work, and life.

I have been able to very briefly meditate. That has helped some. I have also used some breathing exercises my therapist taught me.

I have many tasks, and I have a very short amount of time to complete them in.

What specific steps do you take to get you through stressful days?

Please, note I’m not interested in idle chit-chat in this thread. I’m interested in hearing specifically what has worked for you.
