Kylie Jenner
It’s all about music and alone time for Kylie Jenner when she gets stressed. "I put my headphones in and just sit by myself and listen or find a quiet space," she told HuffPost Teen. "Every time I start to get worked up over something I just think to myself, 'Is this really going to matter in my life tomorrow, in an hour, in a year?' You just can't get stressed about the little things 'cause it's just not worth it at the end of the day."

“You do something you love, that makes you happy, and that gives you your meditation. But I think it's good I'm not somebody who needs quiet moments because I never get them. They're very rare."
Michelle Obama
The former First Lady sings the praises of exercise for helping her stay calm. Speaking to Marie Claire, she said, “If I’m ever feeling tense or stressed or like I’m about to have a meltdown, I’ll put on my iPod and head to the gym or out on a bike ride.”
