Re: What's Your Instant Go To Stress Reliever?

If something is really stressing me out and it can't be handled at the level it's coming from, I go to my husband and talk it out, talk it out, talk it over.

 

I also have one son that I am extremely close to, is unbelieveably intelligent and level headed and can handle anything.

 

I usually go to him after my husband though, just for a *second opinion*.  lol.

 

Thankfully I don't deal with a lot of stress.

Lots of pizza.

Inhaling tomato sauce and cheese until I am in a self induced pizza trance.

Breath in breathe out.

Ahhhh......Smiley Very Happy

Reading (always calms me down) or if I need advice, calling my sister. 

 

Or, failing that, calling one of my brothers.  They won't hang on the phone as Katie does, though.  Smiley Happy

I came to this pretty late in the game - but I love a good, sweaty workout.

I prefer a good outdoor run - can't get over the skeeve factor of a gym that is used by many people.

Re: What's Your Instant Go To Stress Reliever?

Getting outdoors and taking a long brisk walk or jog is my first remedy...or putting on some good music and "dancing like nobody is watching..."...I have to move, so I do whatever I can at that particular moment and wherever I happen to be so, if you happen to see a woman circling a room or just moving about repetitiously, that would be me...LOL
