Don't kill me yet please. Just out of curiousity pt 4 Stress

What do you all do to prevent or relieve stress?

 

[Pooh Girl 71]

Life's every day stress- I vent to my DH and one of my good friends.

Major stress where I feel like I am going to drown- I drive to the beach and sit there and listen and watch the ocean. Nothing releives stress for me than the ocean. I can feel it lifting off me.

Ooooooooooooooo.. Definitely the WRONG night to be asking me that!! DD spoke to the wicked stepmother of "the" family awhile ago and all I can say is......................

I am going to KILL someone before all of this is over..........



That is how I'm going to relieve my stress..

I'll get back to you with my address - providing they allow mail in the "Big House.."

Did you know that stressed spelled backwards is desserts? Any one think there is a big connection to that and stress eating??

1. Pray/meditate on scripture, etc.
2. Exercise
3. Get adequate sleep
4. Healthy eating
5. Conversation with spouse
6. Relaxing activity like reading, listening to music, going for a drive, etc.

Destructive:

3. Eat
4. "Escape" via some obsessive mental activity
5. "Escape" via the 'Net
6. Push my spouse away or try to pick a fight with him for no reason.

I try not to stress too much about anything.

I am pretty even tempered, it takes a lot to get me stressed out and angry.

I don't prevent it but I go to WDW to relieve it..

I stayed up last night doing something that relieves stress for me. Listening to music and dancing and singing as loud as I want.
Anymore ideas? I think I'll write them down.

DH and I have "quality" time and that helps. The other thing I do is DIS and talk to DH.

When it is really big and I need to clear my head; I tell DH to take me away for a week. If it invovles him, I tell him I am leaving for a week and then he freaks out and apologizes for whatever.

He couldn't handle things if I left!

I do that, too!

It's fun huh Kitty?

 

[MeanLaureen]

I don't try to relieve it.

I actually think that if I didn't have any stress I wouldn't have a pulse anymore

Yoga has helped me deal with stress.

 

[aprincessmom]

I spend time with my daughter and laugh a lot
