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?

watch my fish 8)

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...?

I watch tv - ER in particular, i think it helps distract me from what i'm stressed about

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 )

Oh Spink, that is awful!

Not sure what I do.... wallow? Dancing is good. Just in the living room! Or going for a walk.

I'd rather do the chores during shortland street and watch the ads ...lol

Exercise is good and talking to someone

I went through a really stressed out about money stage about 3 years ago and played Crash Bandicoot like a maniac for hours on end.

I go rock climbing 8) or blob out infront of the computer :-?

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.

These guys have got it all right :lol:

Shoping !

I dance!

Walk the dog or sit in the garden watching the turtles. But then eating chocolates good too!!

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)
