How do I relieve my stress?
Hmmm?? Well first I determine the “source” of the stress. Then I remove it.
It could be a job. It could be a rude and disrespectful child. It could be meddling family members.
In my experience it has never been the neighbors. You can just ignore them. They ain't family; and most of them ain't friends. In many cases, you don't even know them.
Listening to music is proven to relieve stress. Reading. Writing. Enjoying a good movie. Playing a game of Scrabble. Praying.
Screaming at my late spouse. He used to let me vent. Then we would put our heads together and try to come up with a plan to get rid of the “real problem”. We found that if we support each other we can pretty much overcome anything that was causing stress. It must be hard for people who don't have a support system. Hard. Not impossible. Just hard.
The key is to relieving stress is to remember your priorities. Because nine times out of ten, whatever is causing the stress? It's probably not a priority and you can probably get rid of it! ;) DON'T MAKE YOURSELF CRAZY!

Yes root out the cause is what I do. I cannot always get rid of it, but I can work around it.
Sorry to hear your spouse is gone Moneyspinner.

Thank you for you sympathy. I have him still with me in my heart. It's not quite the same but I'm learning to live with him that way.

There is a proverb that says "Music makes the heart merry." I agree.
