Life-changing events

Way back when, when I was in college, I had to do some analysis of the stressors in my life and their relative magnitude.  At the time I was in the very high stress level, it took into account things like job change, moving, relationship upset and the like.  Well I am fairly certain I am in another one of those periods of flux: moved to MN semi-permanently, close to my family again, new clients, my dog is having to share attentions with other dogs, all my relationships have shifted all around me...but you know, I feel less stressed now than in a very long time.  

What stresses you out and how do you cope?  I've been reading a lot more again and back to my 'drink tea all day to be a good girl and not snack' diet, (before I get flack, you all well know I don't deprive myself of food and just control myself carefully so don't fuss) working out regularly and competing with myself that way, and having the kind of relaxed social interactions that are more my style.  Oh and going dancing with Tim, Amy and Autumn before I left was a lifesaver!  Thank you again!
