Home alone with a hot cup of coffee with cream and my iPad.

CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!

Whenever I'm in a bad mood or stressed, my husband always says: "Let's put on something funny."  Thank goodness for On Demand.

Also, long car rides - with someone else doing the driving.

And my three little sweethearts (a dog and two cats).

Swimming. Just lay on my back, and float. If it's too cold, to swim, then music, reading a book, or going for a long walk.

I don't get stressed very often ... but when a I do ... I pray!

Carbohydrates of any kind: salty and crunchy chips; bread, pasta or potatoes; or sweets like cake or cookies. All these treats need to be accompanied by upbeat rock music. Lol.

-- Lunch out with my husband.

-- A half-hour or more at the piano, harpsichord, or keyboard

-- "Time out" with sudoku puzzles or a book to get my brain to change the subject

-- If I am really desperate, and I have been lately, I may "require" some chocolate peanut clusters or some other bad-for-you treat

-- I NEVER do alcohol for stress because I don't want to train my brain to think I need it. It's bad enough, heh heh, that I sometimes "need" chocolate!

--aack! I almost forgot to say that the many sweet and fun moments with our cats all day long always relax me. As I sit here on the banquette, our oldest kitty has plastered herself to me and is sound asleep. So comforting.

Depending on what kind of stress it's either salty or sweet. Work stress will send me to the coke machine in a hot minute. Car trouble stress like today is salty.
