What do you do when you are feeling a little stressed?

When I feel stressed out, I do one or more of the following: 1. stop what I am doing 2. do stretching exercises followed by 3. deep breathing exercises 4. sometimes I fall asleep 5. meditating also helps and of course praying helps to calm my nerves and also clears the mind to come up with a solution to what is causing the stress.

first of all i sleep soundly. since one source of my stress is lack of sleep. then if i already regain my strength and conciousness (lol),we take some time to eat in our favorite restaurant, ( that is if allowed by our budget though (lol) or if not, we just played badmenton. But there are times that all i want to do is really take that most desired rest, so i just sleep, eat, and sleep.It rarely happens, so i enjoy every minute of it.

I meditate, take yoga or long walk with dogs. I watch good comedy if possible. Soft, relaxing music in the background is helpful. Talking to family and friends is very calming as well....

When I was working, I used to feel stressed out sometimes. The stress is not only in the office, but often I bring the stress home as well. I was a project manager involved with IT projects, and so the issues and problems associated with these projects don't go away even after I leave office. At work, I try to divert my attention away from the stress by doing some other tasks, have a little break or go see my colleagues to talk about other work-related things. At home, when I feel the stress is getting to me, I just find something else to do that will take my mind off the issue that is stressing me, like watch some TV, play computer games or just listen to music. I've learned to cope with work stress, and have not been overwhelmed by it.

I just sit back and reflect on what I'm stressed about. Then I try to draw up a solution to relieve me of my stressful situation! It works for the most part, but sometimes I just have to eventually get over it! Taripre$

I like to play PC game online when I under the pressure,sometimes,watch actioner is another choice. Anything you can make a diversion,it's a good way to decompression.

I like taking a hot therapy bath while listening to soft music it always lifts my stressed feeling away.You have a great night.

when i get stress i like to play vedio games. this help me to go off into my own world.

hi If I'm little stressed, i prefer to listen to music, stay alone for the time being. But if i'm overstressed I used to stop whatever i was doing and used to walk and focus on the beauty of nature. Meditation also helps me to overcome stress.

Its my simple way to make more fresh. Its relaxing us without loosing our pocket. lol.. Just sing a song whichever you mood. Yes, Its true. I always do this way for 30 years. Just try it. Happy relaxing mylotting

When I feel stress I generally go to sleep for 10 minutes. It will relax me so much and then I go to my work. If it is evening I walk in front of my house or chitchat with my family members.

I have a pile of comedy movies and each time the stress attack me...., i play that funny comedy and i'll laugh and the stress will be gone in no time

If I'm stressed out at work, I would leave what I'm doing - browse the net to clear my mind a while. Than later, will continue with a clearer mind. At home, I will have a shower, get ready my books - just lie back, relax and enjoyed what I'm reading. No point for me to tackle my problems with a stressed mind.

Treating myself with a 30 minute - 1- hour bath. Taking extra time shampooing, putting on conditioner. Giving the shoulders and legs some extra attention as massage. Just stay under the shower, let it "rain". Sing a song. Recreate a movie scene. After a bath, I don't just swirl the towel around my body. I dry myself with small, light taps. Stress allows us to do things out of the ordinary. Celebrate. :)

I play with my son or hear soothing music. Both work fine for me unless I am in a depression that lasts for days or months. When that happens, I have no other option but to wait for it to go away.

hi, When i am stressed i just want to sulk , ya know what i mean and hope that soon it will pass , and that the sun will rise the nest morning . Usually , if it is summer i love to swim or go for a long walk that helps with the stress . being on the rd and going on trips help too ,but those are all over for now . sometimes just talking to someone is the best . Music seems to free my sould lately !

If I'm home and stressed then I'll find a funny show on TV to watch. Sometimes I'll look through a magazine or read a book.

I sit in my favourite chair, I close my eyes and I start to think! A few brief moments later I open my eyes, make my way towards the kitchen, stick the kettle on and make a nice brew! I too love to exercise! My living room is a proper gymnasium and I have three exercise machines which I use three times per week, this definitely gets rid of my stress. I would love to have a dog though, I've heard that they are wonderful stress relievers! I also love escapism and I do this by picking up a good book. I have several favourite books and I have read them over and over as they always seem to do the trick! I forget everything when I am reading them. I also escape into my personal journal! I have been keeping a personal journal for many years and I find this so relaxing. I sit there in my chair, the rain may be teeming against the window behind me, it may be a little grey but none of that matters! My personal journal acts as a wonderful stress destroyer! Like you, I love watching comedys, my favourite being "Only Fools and Horses". Stress! It's a thing of the past!! Andrew

I like to go somewhere that is quiet and close my eyes (Not sleep LOL) Just to mediate and think on something pleasant. If I fall to sleep in the process oh well.

I would prefer to watch a movie and eat some sweet stuff when i feel stress; or exersize lil bit make me feel better.
