Stress

[bremer51]

I go outside and walk or do physical labor. I used to talk it out with my mother, but she's gone now so I don't really have any one to vent with.

I play video games, walk, hug my family/dog, dance, sing a powerful song, etc.  I think those are mostly the things I do to relax.  Sometimes I write, but that's few and far between.  Generally, I just need to do something to get the emotion out of my body and then I can put things into perspective and relax a bit.  Then again, I haven't had any hugely stressful situations yet (like losing a job or not being able to pay bills) so I don't know if my strategies would work for something like that, but they work for when I'm overly stressed at work.

I usually work in the yard or something like that to take my mind off of things.  Some 'me' time always helps too.  It's different for everyone though.

Actually I listen to music a lot to releive the stress.  Also exercise is the best medicine.

Its werid to say this but doing these survey sites does do a really good job at reducing my stress at a limited amount of time of course to much of them and i just get so tired.

I think dancing is one of the best stress relief in own opinion. In my experience it worked for me.

I reduce my stress by doing other things I like to do

[ancmetro]

     Avoid stressful situations! Practice good mental health and participate in relaxing activities.

Music or a good TV marathon.

I like to go out into nature.  Watch the waves at the ocean, listen to a river, go for a nature walk.  Do something physical.

Sometimes I listen to a meditation CD and/or I increase my B vitamins and magnesium.

In a perfect world I would have a gym membership allowing me to use treadmills, eliptical's and other pieces of equipment for at least an hour every other day or so.  Than I would have a quiet house to walk into with no schedule to adhere to so I could shower or soak in the tub... That alone would reduce my stress..  But since that won't happen again till my kids are out of the house in the mean time I de-stress by napping.

By taking deep breaths, going on long walks, listening to music and doing something that I love.

I don't.  I usually cope with it by eating.
