Re: How do you deal with stress?

Feel it, express it, and let your emotions go...

Much love, you are so strong. Coraggio.

Re: How do you deal with stress?

I don't handle stress in the best way, but I find that alone time for me works best.

Turn off the phone, rent your most favorite movie, pour a glass of wine, some good chocolate, light a couple of candles and just shut the world out for a little while.

Re: How do you deal with stress?

Maybe it's because I'm a guy, but physical exertion works wonders for me. Karate, exercise, building stuff, etc. It distracts my mind, and after I'm done, I feel like I've accomplished something, too, which also helps...

I have no advice hun, just lots of I am still trying to figure out how to deal with stress

Re: How do you deal with stress?

I should have better ways for dealing with stress but I don't - I usually cry alot. I would love to get reflexology when I'm stressed out but I rarely have time that let alone for myself unless I'm on the train to or from work
I guess soft music helps - my Celtic Woman CD, Lorena McKennitt, Sarah Maclachlan, etc.
Many to you.

Re: How do you deal with stress?

I know this may sound silly, but exercise. It just has this way of making me more calm for some reason.

I haven't gone thru anything major like what you've been going thru, but maybe it will help.

Re: How do you deal with stress?

Prayer, exercise and sometimes, just a really good cry. I pop in a Steel Magnolias type movie and bawl it all out.

Re: How do you deal with stress?

I pray, I eat, I lay in bed, and sometimes a good cry helps too.
