I recently came across a unique proposition by a nutritionist (Jane Cole-Hamilton) from Ontario in Canada. In order to relieve stress, you need to know which brain hemisphere is stressed. Note the following:

If you feel depressed or emotional overwrought, your stress is in the right hemisphere -- the creative, emotional, holistic side.
The remedy? Switch to your matter-of-fact left hemisphere by doing maths, writing factual prose or organising. The emotional right brain will calm down.

If you feel time-stressed and overburdened, the left hemisphere is involved.
The remedy?  Switch to your right brain by singing, playing music or playing sport.

Maybe it's worth a try next time...
