Simple Ways to Blow Off Some Steam!
What is a quick and easy way you’ve found to relieve stress in your life? |
Deep breathing exercises! Meditation is usually the way I can blow off steam fast. But, the best way I have found is to call my husband and hear him say "I Love You", when he answers and knows that the call is from me!
I listen to music from my college days. There are certain songs that just have a calming effect and can take me to another place.
i keep a tin of peppermint nasel relief -not a spray its made to inhale-in my purse, a few quick sniffs,closes my eyes for a second and the world seems right. And i seem to have fewer cold....not sick and
crabby.
Listen to calming music on my IPOD
Looking at old happy times family pics, always a good memory that brings a smile to my face. Also music from You Tube listening to oldies but goodies.
A nice hot bath
Taking a hot bath, with a couple of candles burning and soft soothing music.
I get together with my girlfriends for a GNO (girls night out) which usually consists of going to a local restaurant and eating dinner and talking. If we can't get together, I usually call my best friend and get it off my chest!
Close your eyes,Stay calm for few seconds or minutes.Take a deep breath and you will be all set.
Get together w/ my girlfriends to spend the evening scrapbooking, making cards & catching up. Just a few hours away from everything doing something creative does wonders! And if all else fails....I schedule a massage!
It helps me to do some reading. If I'm really stressed out just walking around a mall (without buying anything) can help.
Knitting! It's repetitive, rhythmic and calming.
Music, especially do wop
walking, walking, walking!
walking...lots of walking!
I like to take a hot bath any time of the day, because I'm a stay at home mom. I'm here all the time, so, I take a hot bath. I just close my eyes and think about everything that is good in my life, and be thankful for them. I found this to relieve stress for me.
I found that doing something physical does it for me. I have a black walnut tree in my front yard and when the fruit falls I throw it across the road. If nothing else, I take the dog for a nice walk. Both do wonders for stress.
Well, not sure if this is ok to say but here goes... sex. Yep, does wonders for relieveing stress if that isn't an option or like me hubby is in Iraq then do a great cardio workout... great stress reliever too!
I read.

Cuddle with my 2 year old son! Just hearing him giggle and string his first words together, can take any tension out of my day.
I do counted Cross stitch it's not always the best stress relief but it puts things into perspective that even the littlest thing can become a wonderful work of art

Shut my mouth. Leave the room. Take a long, hot shower.
I never argue or raise my voice and that makes me a very happy camper.Is it worth it, ever, to argue? Not in my lifetime. I don't want to waste precious minutes angry, upset, or causing anyone else any heartache.
