I have a bad habit that has recently grown on me, when I stress I tend to eat snacks....A lot of snacks, especially the sweets they tend to make me feel better....What is your stress reliever?

My stress reliever is either 1) playing tennis or 2) listening to music. I find that both let me release any emotions I have (especially tennis!).

Tennis is a great stress reliever and a great way to exercise as well. I also like racquetball is great as well.....

I take a very long bubble bath which is very relaxing which is good and also I tend to eat and I am trying to cut back on that. Also, I tend to smoke more which is also not good. Snow

ndubose I am also a snacker from stress so I am now listening to my mozart files as I my lot and it keeps my hands and ears occupied so I do not stuff my face so much. I do have to eat a snack before I go to bed as I am a diabetic and otherwise I go low before morning. but I do not want to overeat either as I am trying to lose weight. music really destresses me great and love his music as its so elegant and just gorgeous.

How about a nice nap with a nicer still rerun of some dumb show at the TV, a hot water bottle in winter, a glass of water with some lemon juice and lots of ice at your night table? Snacks will not take away stress. Think about what will make you relax and do it better each time. Take care!

Now sleeping is my best hobby and in the end it makes my stress worse...But I do love to sleep all in all so I can relate

I watch comedy movies. Or I watch interesting stuff like House, or The Big Bang Theory. When I watch these, I forget I'm stressed. ALthough, yeah, eating is a good stress reliever too. Hmm. I also play online games. hehehe.

Stress is very common...no exemptions especially those who are workaholics..When I am stress I just drink plenty of water, listening to music and lot of sleep..After that I felt relax.
