When I'm stress, I will take my daughter go shopping or window shopping. Seeing and buying those lovely things I see in the shop will take my minds off my stress for a while.
Otherwise, I will just sit in in a coffee corner for a tea/ coffe break that has chidren corner and watching my daughter playing, smiling and laughing will do for me.

I oftenly listen to jazz or classical music whenever I wanted to relax. Or if not, I sleep.

When i am stressed, i sit idol & keep on thinking the sitution & sometimes, for relaxtion, i come online & discuss light topics of surroundings with my chat fellows to become relax & get rid of the problems for few moments. When i talk with my faimly members or chat fellows, i feel relax & forget my problems for few moments.

Keep the stress for yourself and don't let any body of your family know....that's really sweet but make sure it won't make you sick. Well, at least music helps you feeling better...
Thank you for your respond!!!

Yeah, take a fresh air it's quite good. And doing some shopping is also another diversion. I think most people do the same like you do.
But sometimes, some stress just won't go as easy as we thought. Like for instance when we missed home. Argh.. that's a difficult 'stress'. But one has to deal with it, anyway.

I know how you feel about home sick. I hope that you'll get your chance soon to go home and visit all your family and people that you love.
Thank you for your respond !!!

When I'm feeling stressed I try to find something to watch or read or listen to that will fill my mind and take it off what's getting to me. I always stay away from shopping when stressed as that just means I'll impulse buy and that's never good. I avoided teaching that behavior to my children.
A bath, soft music, candles and a good book is always a great distraction but I know that can be difficult with children. I would love to play with my kids when I was stressed, become a child again myself. That always did the trick.
