How Do You Handle Stress?

I rest a while and close my eyes and have meditation. I pray so that I will be releved of the stress. I believe that nothing will happen to me without the knowledge of my God who created me and I am always under His devine providence.

i just take my purse and go out of home for some shopping.it relaxes me lot . or i watch my little niece photos.italk to my parrot. if im at work i just stress out by writing all the worst things i want to say to my boss on a paper and just tearing the paper. try it it works.u can meditate also.

I think about India.

by chatting to a long lost friend or playing music

I get very depressed and cry alot.

I try to make a little bit of time for myself each day to do something like read, walk, take a bath, or just something I have been wanting to do, regardless of how busy things may be. In that way, I consider it stress prevention. But when I get stressed out, the best thing I can do to calm down is exercise, even if it's just a short walk. It always channels my energy and calms me down.

I let it build up inside..which is not healthy I know.

take it easy

i go for a movie or maybe a dance

calm down and don't let it get me down.

I do something creative like play violin, draw, or write. Ironically, I can't eat when I'm stressed out. I know people usually pig out on ice cream or something...

I do ok with stress, I clean the house from top to bottom when I am upset or mad... it helps me forget it, and tries me out.. lol

Swimming or Climbing

i manage stress by exercising and socializing with my friends.

Zoloft!! no just kidding, that is only part of it, I tend to eat chocolate if I get really stressed out but that just gives me that instant gratification for the stress, like a small chocolatey high if you will. I try to do what i can to keep myself calm and not to get sick, but I tend to wear myself out pretty badly and that is not a good thing but zoloft does help me cope better with stress so , yeah, I am medicated!!

I sing out aloud.

Not well. But, I do enjoy going for a long walk alone in the desert, and it gives me a chance to be alone quietly with God. Then I am better.

Exercise, get your mind of from what stressing you! Easy. Turn up the volume for relaxing music.

resting at home with my family

All I need to do to tune out is take my son to the park and make sure that he is having a boog time. I really forget about all the stuff at work and totally focus on him. Its easy to be a kid again and just enjoy yourself. It gives me a chance to let loose and my son loves it that I am behaving like a kid too. It makes us closer and I destress.
