The 2 books that help me chill were The Inner Game of Tennis and Free Play. Oh yeah also the Tao de Ching. Some people try meditating too.

Have you ever sat around and caualy relaxed with your instrument? I had to learn that this year. I share a room with a guitarist and all he does is sit around with it, playing and talking at the same time. People say Pablo Casals was always warmed up and felt totaly natural with his instument.

Maybe you could try playing to relax. It's easy to get caught up with "practicing" and forget why your in it in the first place.

and well....there's always stretching exercises, too.
