Coping With My Stress

Tweet

Good morning from the Philippines MyLot people. It's a good thing I joined here, it's like taking time to breathe. Sometimes life is too much and you need to do something to take it all off your mind and just relax. I've been thinking of ways to help me calm down when I am really stressed out. All of us know that if we don't deal with our stress it will get worst and we really are in trouble. What I always do before was just to get outside, take a walk in a wide area such as a paddy field, or by a river. The wind and the sound of the water soothe my inner being if you know what I'm saying. But since we can't go outside for this particular reason, and to avoid stress eating. I sometimes isolate myself in a quiet room, take a quick nap or watch movies like comedies to boost my emotion, sometimes I paint using my old watercolors, clean the room even if it's already neat and clean, and sew some clothes. After 30 mins or more I find myself calm and finding some solutions to my problems. I'm not sure if it's working with everyone else, it's working for me. What always calms you down when you’re really stressed out and upset?
