That's why stress management is not a one-size-fits-all kind of thing.

If you can relate, read more about this, and find resources for relieving stress. Stress Tips For "Type A" Types I'm not saying that if you find yoga and meditation to be boring, then you are automatically "Type A." However, if these stress relief techniques generally appeal to people who want to make their time count, they will likely appeal to you, too. "Type A" or not, these stress relief techniques can help you relax without putting you to sleep!
