I just finished reading an excellent review of the current research on happiness, which led me to this interesting site called reflective happiness. They claim that for $10/mo, they can help you create a plan that will help innoculate you from the effects of stress.
The first month is free, and hey, it’s cheaper than the co-pay on a shrink. Might be worth trying, for those of us that would like to reduce the amount of stress and anxiety in our lives.

Just try smiling. The physical act of smiling has been proven to improve mood (albeit to a smaller degree than say, drugs). I’d cite the research, but I’ve gotta run to class…
Also, try meditation and working out; both are significant stress reducers, and the endorphins from the latter are the “drugs” from the previous statement. Ciao
