What do you do

[eyhornmom 36]

I've had a terrible couple of days at work. Pre-surgery I would've come home and eaten lots of fatty food to comfort myself. Now that doesn't even sound appealing to me, but I haven't found anything else to help relax me and get rid of the stress. What do you do now to help relieve stress?

Here's what works for me...

Prayer

Yoga works wonders . There are YouTube videos and an awesome App called Yoga Studio.

Walking

Meditation/Self Hypnosis Apps

Manicure

Journaling

walking. That is my new love. Trouble is I enjoy walking outdoors, and soon it will be too hot in Kansas. I will have to learn to love the gym instead.

Ditto walking, praying, venting with a sympathetic friend.

@@wannaBthinsoon I'm in Kansas too! It's been cool much longer than normal this year, but I know warm weather is coming.

walking and hanging out with my dog (sometimes while walking)

Exercise! I know it sounds cliche, but it really does help with the stress. I have never gotten back from a nice walk or workout from the gym and said "I feel terrible! I wish I hadn't have done that!"
