When I was a kid, my Mom gave me Celestian Seasonings Sleepytime tea anytime I was down or sick. I loved the tea, and the cute snoozing bear on the box. To this day, I love to make myself a cup of it when I really want to relax or comfort myself. What's your method of choice to recapture a happy feeling?

My best way to do that is to have a massage or go to the spa. Nothing beats that, I feel relieved after that, it's like im in a new body, so relaxed and peaceful. Other than that, what keeps me stress free is seeing a good God piece, like nature, or falls or something nature made that is so magnificent. You would realize how good God is with all those, and it'll make you feel so lucky, you have everything you got... that's my two ways :-)

Mmmmm sounds awesome. I wish I could see those natural beauties in person more often, too. I've never been to a spa, but I'm planning to try that out soon!

That was a lovely thing for your Mom to do for you. I have always enjoyed their Peppermint tea for those times when I need a lift or the need for tea arises. I also love to take bubble baths, listen to some spiritual or gospel music, that really lifts the spirit, read an uplifting book, watch a movie you can get into but not leave you depressed. I love to watch movies when I'm off work, I can't do it on work days myself because I like to stay up late and do that. You mention recapturing a happy feeling, there is a song I like called "Happy Feelings" by Maze that always bring a smile to my face when I hear it. that's a nice song to destress from. Peace.

I clean, play games in pogo, or take a bubble bath. I also love the sleepy time tea myself.

I usually go out to my favorite restaurant.Eating good food is a destressant for me.I love being around merry people and soft music. Also sometimes i go out shopping. It relaxes me a lot.But, whenever i cant help it i just call up my friends.

To de-stress, it really depends on what I want to do. There are times that I just want to sleep, like 24 hrs straight, to rejuvenate. There are times that I want to talk to a friend over a frappe or coffee. There are times that I want to go to a salon, to have a massage- spa, foot spa, haircut and hair treatment- this is what they call pampering yourself. Lastly, like any woman loves to do- SHOPPING GALORE! (if I have extra money of course) =)
