what do you do to reduce stress in your life
« on: August 23, 2019, 03:38:49 pm »
when I have gone through times of stress I try to make it a habit of either getting into my yard to do some gardening or find a craft project that I can work on.  I also spend a lot of time researching stuff of interest on the internet.

I agree with you on gardening, I find it quite soothing... and satisfying. 

I personally use exercise as my coping mechanism for stress, I've used it since college & it has helped me tremendously. I can totally tell when I don't exercise, I can feel the stress creeping in to my muscles, etc... 

I also try to eliminate negatives in my life, like people who tear you down & are pessimistic all the time... t's so exhausting, best to cut those people out or they become like dementors & suck the life out of you.

I take deep breaths, surround myself with loved ones, and listen to music :)  I do lots of things to relieve stress but those are the main ones.

I lower my head and keep it as still as possible.

For me its working out to playing online video games with random people or friends to just reading and if none of that helps me I would pick the "Alcohol/Smoke" to clam me down.

I have alot of stress and if is early enough in the day I sleep so I just don't think about whatever is stressing me out. Later in the evening I watch tv to get my mind off stuff and at night I pray myself to sleep.  That is the sum of three things I do to reduce or not think about stress.

I also love to sing to relieve stress.  Most of the time I don't know all the words to the songs so I make up something and keep going.  Wish I could play a musical instrument. trying to learn it now would really stress me out.

I like to go to the lake or river. Water seems relaxes me pretty quick.
