Pay someone to appear on your behalf. Lawyers are one group of people who make careers out of speaking and acting for clients that are not physically present. Waiting in line to be the first to buy the latest electronic gadget; purchase the services of a temporary place-holder or line-holder.
Meditate your way to another place. All joking aside, meditation is known as a practice that helps calm the mind and body while producing lasting health benefits. Traveling mentally is a great stress reliever.
