We had a short seminar yesterday about relieving stress and the resource person gave us a list of how to relieve stress and how to prevent being stressed. the one thing i like most is being optimistic to avoid being stressed and to always smile and to unwind to relieve stress.
i do unwind by watching a movie, tv, listening to music, or anything. and then i think of Mylot. and i said to myself, hey, i feel good when im myLotting and all my worries disappear when i'm inside myLot. there was actually a time when i had to log in here just to forget my anger towards some people in our house. and so i guess myLot relieves of bad aura and all that especially stress. ^__^
anyone treat myLot as stress reliever aside from me?

hi kun! ^__^
i am glad that you can unwind when you are talking to me and the rest of the people here. ^__^ sometimes, listening to music and watching tv are not enough ways to unwind. its also good to unwind by pouring out all your feelings. ^__^

Come to think of it, yes mylot is a stress reliever. I come to mylot when i am stressed out with work. Sometimes, when i am extremely busy and may be i dont have time to sit and answer discussions or to do anything. I just go around mylot, read my messages and just look at the discussions. It gives me a great feeling to see the activity going on and my friends.

You are so write ..Mylot is a stress reliever. I have found at all times that writing, and journaling has helped me. I always write a good long letter to Jesus whenever I am stressed and by time I finish the letter I feel the stress has been lifted.
I can see mylot as a remedy prescibed by a doctor for those high stress levels;)

Mylot causes me stress sometimes so I can't say I find posting here relaxing.
I do other things to relieve the stress like playing games although even some games can be stressful for me.
I would have to say the biggest stress reliever for me is watching George Carlin specials on HBO. That guy makes me belly laugh he is so funny.

I relieve stress by working outside my home. Yard work, bring in wood logs for the fireplace, anything that is physical. It breaks up the stress that is in my mind and makes me calm again.

Yes... myLot could be view as a sress reliever... as long as you come here with a positive attitude and don't look for arguments.
myLot is certainly a good pass time and gives you a chance to interact with people. It is very good for me... as I live in the bush with no-one to talk to for miles around.

i agree. as long as you have a positive attitude about something, it will never stress you. and even if there's an argument, so long as both parties know how to accept opinions from other people and respect them, no one's going to be stressed. ^__^;;

Yup, I guess some people come here to let off steam.
It is a nice place, generally. When I come onto myLot, I tend to forget other things sometimes.
So in that sense, I guess yes, it is a stress reliever. =)

I agree with you
That because, muasual discussion, sharing ideas with your friends and solving problems either for your self or others get your stress relieved
So, when i inter to mylot and make a discussion with my friends, sharing them their idea and problems get that effect and any stress could be relieved.
Thanks to mylot

you're right. helping others is a really good thing. even if we really don't know who we are helping, it is such a nice feeling when you know that someone is considering your advice and maybe doing it. and its nicer when they thank you. ^__^

Hi sweetie,
myLot has always been there since past 1 year and when ever and wherever I feel dejected, down and sad I just log into it, PM my friends and respond to some real good ones. It's indeed a great stress burster.
Thanks.

I can say it's a stress reliever for me too. Sometimes when something is bothering me then I can just get on here and start responding to discussions and it takes whatever is bothering me off my mind. I also relieve stress by scrapbooking. I guess just sitting there doing what I enjoy makes me feel better.

Maybe not a stress reliever but surely an outlet to connect with friends I have made from all over the world. It's interesting....and exciting to have discussions about anything that's on your mind and also a great place to learn about others and their way of life!

Absolutely! Usually when I am doing some work at the computer and need a break instead of getting up and doing housework, I turn to myLot for a moment or two. Of course, it is necessary to get up and stretch once in a while, too, and THEN I do some housework, lol, but sometimes I am working at the computer for hours at a time, and my little myLot breaks are most restful.
