Uma das dicas principais para melhorar o estresse é o descanso. A recomendação é dividir o descanso em três etapas: o físico, com atividade física; o social, com família e amigos; e o mental, com exercícios de espiritualidade e criatividade, por exemplo. Além disso, como recomendou a pediatra Ana Escobar, é bom também realizar alguma atividade prazerosa, pelo menos, uma vez ao dia.

It is only in a crowd that man can become free of this fear of being touched. That is the only situation in which the fear changes into its opposite. The crowd he needs is the dense crowd, in which body is pressed to body; a crowd, too, whose physical constitution is also dense, or compact, so that he no longer notices who it is that presses against him. As soon as a man has surrendered himself to the crowd, he ceases to fear its touch. Ideally, all are equal there; no distinctions count, not even that of sex. The man pressed against him is the same as himself. He feels him as he feels himself. Suddenly it is as though everything were happening in one and the same body. This is perhaps one of the reasons why a crowd seeks to close in on itself: it wants to rid each individual as completely as possible of the fear of being touched. The more fiercely people press together, the more certain they feel that they do not fear each other. The reversal of the fear of being touched belongs to the nature of crowds. The feeling of relief is most striking where the density of the crowd is greatest.
