stress ***ack***

i try not to allow stress and those are are attracted or addict to stress in my life. but when i do find that stress is knocking on my door or trying to climb in my window. i sing, dance, just be as silly as possible. you can't be stressed and happy at the same time.

I usually will take longer break, take warm bath or in summer I will go out as much as I can. Before I sleep, if it's really stressful matter, I will ask for help from the higher power. The only time my request is not answered is when I didn't request it in the first place. In summer it's very easy to deal with stress, winter is the hardest for me.

Well Freckle I deal with it by just shutting the world out I will hardly talk to anyone and normally I will try and sleep to shut it all out or I will loose myself on the Computer in the web or something it really depends how bad the Stress is The last one I just shut off again

i like to read...everyone has stresses pretty much every day and i guess reading is my way to relax... right now a lot of my stress is coming from my 14 year old daughter.........ah the joys of teenage years!...so i loose myself in a good book and then i am good :-)

It varies for me, depending on what has caused me to stress out. When I use to work, a nice quiet drink after work always helped LOL. I often go for a long walk, to the gym to work it off, take a nice long hot bath, lock myself in my room and either sleep or watch tv, and sometimes I clean.

i handle stress ny sleeping...no better alternative!

i either go for a long walk or do housework. its amazing how much cleaning you can do when you are mad with someone or something!!

I go shopping or else take a day off work to get away from it all. My stress comes from work so being away from the office is good.

Before I'm a very stressfull person, I used to have a stress lining in my face, but one day I decided to think of myself and what's really happening to me. I thought of possible reasons for these and promise my self to help my self to get rid of these stress in me. Until one day when were together with my friends were talking and share some stories of our daily activities I can relate with their stories and think that I must be lucky than them. From that moment when I feel stress I just controlled my feeling to be happy and think all others who has more problem than me. I told myself why bothered myself in the person who gave me stress, I can't controll others, so the best thing I can do is to control mine.

For me there are different ways of handling stress.. I won't do these intentionally to handle stress but it happens.. I walk all teh way from my office to home and it works as a very good stress buster.. Byt the time you reach home, you would have forgotten all those office issues.. Cooking also works wonders for me.. When I cook and serve, I forgets other problems.. I am interested in reading also, which really helps in relaxing..

When I can afford it I go to the spa to have a massage or to the salon to have anything done. If I can't afford those, I write on my private blog. I read fan fictions, I write some more.If I have time I take long walks or talk to a friend if they are vailable and but if not I talk to my other best friends namely *chocolate and coffee*.

Sometimes I relax by smoking ,drinking and sleeping.Which method I will take,it depends what stress I have met.Generally speaking,sleeping for me is a very good way to handle stress.

when ever i have a stress i go for a walk or i read some books and novels.otherwise i go to sleep.you also try these tips u will also feel relaxe

I think that dance might help for stress. this is my way to manage stress

I will listen to music when I am stressed out and sit in my lazy chair and relax. Bubble baths are a thing of the past for me. I can't relax enough to enjoy them. If I am in need of a major fix, I head for the beach. The sound of the ocean waves calms me. It is the best therapy I know.

I am not good at handling stress and end up screaming a lot when I am stressed out but if I am able to going for a walk or even listening to music will help me out as well but I am not often able to get away myself to do this so can only do this occasionally so therefore tend to be more of a screamer . I am obviously not doing a very good job of handling the stress in my life as I have high blood pressure and everytime I have to do in to the doctor's because of it , they are always telling me that I have to find a way to rid the stress out of my life it I hope to get better . They even suggested talking to someone but this is not helping either . I have tried to explain to them that I don't go looking for stress and sometimes no matter what one does , you can't illiminate it from your life unless you were to walk away from your life and this is not an option . Although I would recommend talking , it does not help me out at all .

Frecklelip, I pray and ask God to take the anxiety of the stress away and i try to give it to Him. I have a bad habit of taking it back from God and trying to handle it myself. I have seen the time that I cry and cry to try to handle this stress but praying is so much easier.

I like to take a long very hot shower. Just relax and let the water hit my back and neck. I always come out feeling much better. If I have a house, I would invest in a hot tub. There is something with hot water that just relaxes me to no end.

I smoke and let it build up... I dont handle stress well though

Nice, hot bubble baths help me to calm down. But, I am trying to learn to meditate better and do yoga. I have the yoga dvd but haven't had time to really concentrate on it yet.
