What is some ways the yall deal with stress? I used to starve or over exercise when I was stressed but now that I don't do that anymore I have no way to vent! Running used to be my ultimate stress reliver but now I have to find another one. What so yall do to ease your stress?

I have a lot of different ways to handle stress now, it really depends on the type of stress I'm feeling to decide which to do. I'm not a runner, but I'll go for a long walk, sometimes I'll just read a book and just let myself get completely wrapped up in the story. Its like a mini escape for me. Sometimes I'll rent some super stupid comedies and veg out all night watching them...my favorite though is I go for a long long drive. I just get in the car and go nowhere, just cruise. I have my radio up with whatever type of music I need to listen to then (depends on the mood you know) and just drive, doesn't matter where. I'm also really into crafts, so I'll go out and get supplies for a new project and work on it all night. It relaxes me and I'm at least doing something somewhat productive, lol!

I like to be outside when it's nice ... doing work in the yard or with flowers.


I also like to do relaxation exercises, with or without movement.
