If stress is the problem, I would try a more active martial art like karate, tai chi, kung fu, etc. Exchanging sitting in one place and breathing for another place and breathing doesn't seem like an optimal solution. Better to get moving around while learning to control your breath. Running does that too, but I find it's rough on my joints. EDIT: I neglected yoga, which is excellent for de-stressing and working out daily kinks. The problem is it's popular and so it's expensive. As an extra bonus, if you're single, there are many worse places to be than in a yoga class.
