Hot bath
Good book
Good movie
Spend time with my husband and dogs
If it's work related, vent with coworkers

I'm not sure what this thread has to do with the latest swimsuits at DivaVillage.com, but that is a stress reliever as well. Thank you, Googleads! |

Drive into the middle of nowhere and leave the cell phone at home. Used to bother the wife big time (being gone for 2 hours and no way to get ahold of me) but then she figured it out that if I dont it will be WW3 for the next person who looks at me funny.
Nothing better the you and the open road.

Do you really want a serious answer to that? 
1. Pray
2. Look at the facts
3. Get advice
4. Does it go against your beliefs....
5. Sometimes the answer is no, or not yet

5. Sometimes the answer is no, or not yet Yeah, after it posted I realized how it sounded like an open ended debate starter. I've been in and out of several churches all of my life. Not sure how to explain this - it's like I kinda want to believe, but have never once felt anything of a spiritual moment.

I am shocked that no one has mentioned the "primal scream". I have only resorted to in times of extreme stress but it tends to take the edge of for quick stress relief. As for Other methods I employ.
Music - Jimi Hendrix, Robert Johnson, etc..
Working in the garage on my project car.
Staying away from people for a few hours

I get really sarcastic and cynical. If that doesn't work, I just turn all green and start throwing things.

Save us tonight, the last hope for all of us,
Light-years gone by, we're still holding on,
Save us tonight, a star shines in all of us,
Far beyond our lives, still our glory lives on.

I don't have time to cope. I'll do that when I'm 65.
