Spink Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Just wondered what everyone else does when they're stressed out? I was on a bummer yesterday - got turned down for another job, AGAIN - and so I went on a cleaning binge and had a BIG tidy out of my laundry. If it's not cleaning, it's gardening but that's more of a relaxing thing for me. So, what do you do when stressed out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spink Posted October 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 unfortunately for me, doing that just reminds me of how many tanks I have running, and how soon the power company will turn off the power because we don't have enough money to pay the power bill :roll: I'm even thinking I may have to shut them all down bar the three largest ones and sell off a bit off stuff until we get back on our feet.....but if I go there I'll get stressed again! Now which room in the house needs a good going over...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefish Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 I watch tv - ER in particular, i think it helps distract me from what i'm stressed about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spink Posted October 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 sounds like my husbands cure for everything - watch TV! I'm one of those restless types - the ads in Shortland Street were put there for me to do laundry, wash dishes, vacuum, and bath children :roll: And I fold the laundry during the programme (I'm a sad individual ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Oh Spink, that is awful! Not sure what I do.... wallow? Dancing is good. Just in the living room! Or going for a walk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Rimbauer Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 I enjoy taking the motorbike out for a pointless cruise round Franklin. It blows the cobwebs off quite nicely! I enjoy the range of views from the West Coast along up to Awhitu and the Manukau Heads, or down through Bombay or Ararimu. I find that riding a bike on twisting country roads at 100K (with no seatbelt or airbag!) gives you something important to focus on, instead of just random worry. When I get back everything's more or less back in perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ant N Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 I'm now stressed enough to need to sell my big fish tank! Always comes back to money! Shooting paper targets helps with "zoning out" for a while, as does watching my boys play football....(whole new level of stress! LOL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
