Post by: michele2042 on May 13, 2018, 08:20:47 am: I try anything, walk away, go into my room or anywhere where I can be alone. If one thing doesn't work I try something else. Usually being by myself and taking a few deep breaths helps. Sometimes I just need to vent and get it out of my system.

You must live in the country, if you did it in town I think you'd have more stress from the neighbors! Maybe even a black eye !

Title: Re: How do you relieve stress?
Post by: aflyingmonkey on May 13, 2018, 04:21:26 pm: I exercise.
I've used that as a coping skill to alleviate my stress since college days. It has worked quite well all through my life. & when I stop for whatever reason, I can sure feel the difference in perception & in my muscles.

Post by: betlynjua on May 13, 2018, 04:34:58 pm: I like a good brisk walk and about 20 minutes or so of in depth Bible reading. I think I got that backwards. First things first : Prayerful, meaningful Bible reading, a good brisk walk and then I finish it off with quality time with my husband and our loving pets. :)

Don’t yell at others just because of stress! It’s not their responsibility to control your stress. Nobody is immune to the feeling. We all have to live as independently as possible, and independence can mean stress because of major responsibilities!

Post by: HotKentuckyMama on May 14, 2018, 04:42:13 am: I like that one above said avoid stressful situations. That is interesting. How do you avoid stressful situations? Life is always throwing something at us one way or another. But, I will get into a good novel, a video game, or do some online work. I used to bake and play in the kitchen when I was stressed out, but that was really unhealthy and I got away from doing that.

Dealing with stress is the best way.

Try and be just a teeny bit more specific on your answer.

It's kind of like you just rephrased the question there.

Title: Re: How do you relieve stress?
Post by: squirrelgirl44 on May 14, 2018, 01:55:16 pm: I run. Even though I have a pretty demanding job and a nasty commute, I really don't get super stressed out. I maintain a fairly healthy lifestyle and running 4-5 days a week makes me feel great.

I like the adult coloring books. If I need to take out frustrations - Weedeating gets rid of a lot. HAHA
