Yesterday i was really upset, at one time i would let it eat me up, but instead i got on my treadmill and pounded away, the music and the exercise gave me a superficial benefit. I was able to think about the stress, with out flipping out and said to my self oh well deal with it and let it go. which i did. it worked for me

That's great, Skyhaven! I find aroma really helps too - if I put on a candle with a soothing scent it helps to relax me

I also like deep breathing (I recently learned some breathing techniques in a yoga class). And I agree, putting things in perspective really helps to de-stress me. Recently our black lab jumped at our window, and cracked it. So, we are going to have to put out about $500 to replace it. My husband was absolutely livid!
I was just relieved that the dog didn't put herself through it - that would have been awful having to explain that to the kids.

Wow it is SO good your dog is all right! You are right, in the grand scheme of things you can fix a window - but if the dog had been hurt, imagine the long term heartache ...

That's exactly what I thought too! We were SOOOOO lucky! And then I thought of someone I know whose child has a terrible eye infection. I thought I'd rather have a busted window than to have my child have to go through what her child is going through now.
Really, we are so lucky in so many ways.

Sometimes nothing will do but for me to change locations. Yoga and stretching is great, but a different vista does wonders. A walk is my favorite and if I'm feeling particularly aggressive, a trip to the driving range does me good. My DH has asked me whose face I'm imagining on my golf ball! LOL

I could imagine that whacking a ball really hard would relieve stress LOL! I wonder how many people get into sports to relieve stress?
Laughing!! That's another great stress reliever for me. When I can watch a movie that makes me laugh and laugh, I feel SOOOO much better.

I spin. There is something very relaxing about the rhythm of the wheel that puts me right into a meditative state. I've even fallen asleep while spinning. And, when I'm done, I have some nice yarn to show for it.

Bella_Deanna, believe me; sometimes my golfing is VERY laughable, so I guess I kill two birds with one stone. My mood change can be so dramatic after a few buckets of balls that DH encourages me to "knock hell out of it!" from the sidelines! Better I whack the golf ball than he has to deal with a wife in a bad mood the rest of the day? LOL
