ReplyDeleteHi, Lisa! You’ve been having so much fun you’ve worn yourself out!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite stress reducer (besides my cats purrs) is to read. Reading, with a cat on my lap, is even better!

For me the best way to de-stress is to either bake or read. Since one can only eat so much, I usually do more reading than baking. :)

Take a walk, listen to music or read.

ReplyDeleteWell a lot of this depends on how I am feeling, how far I need to disappear. I go into a different land and different people with their situations in a western romance or a small town cozie book with some cold/hot tea. Or I may sit and quilt or just make some greeting cards.
When I'm stressed it's usually because too many problems are happening at the same time and my mind reviews them over and over. So I write them down in a list. Once it's on paper my mind relaxes and lets them go because now I don't have to worry about forgetting anything. (Unless I lose the paper. :) )
ReplyDeleteWhen I am stressed out, I curl up with a book in a bath... usually with a bath bomb and a glass of wine. Freda's Cure-All!
ReplyDeleteI play with my Sims games and files! Building and furnishing houses is what I love, and organizing the files to share with the Sims world keeps my mind really busy so the stress goes away.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you've had a couple off days, Lisa. When I'm feeling stressed, cuddling with my cat and listening to him purr is very calming. Sometimes I'll drink a cup or two of hot tea. Working on Sudoku or word puzzles, and knitting or crocheting are also good de-stressors for me.
ReplyDeleteOH My I do lots of things to calm myself down and get unstressed. I play my Nintendo 3 game, blog sometimes, read a good book, curl up with my cat and talk to her and tell her my problems, write for fun, tear up cardboard, yell at my computer, tell myself things could be worse, recite Bible verses, talk to my stuffed myself and so much more.....
ReplyDeletesometimes I read, bath, guided imagery, and turn what ifs into even ifs
ReplyDeleteTo stay as stress free as possible I read, do yard work, draw, play with my chickens, watch murder mysteries (mostly on youtube) & I do deep sighs a lot lol. Hope all calms down for you! nani_geplcs(at)yahoo(dot)com
ReplyDeleteSorry to read you were feeling off and then tired. My stress reducers generally were soaking in a nice hot bath with a fun read, usually a mystery, then enjoying a nice cuddle with my cat and drinking a soothing cuppa hot tea. Other times, I veg out doing Sudoku or crocheting or going through my house and finding things to give to the goodwill places. Or I call a friend and just decompress sharing and listening.
ReplyDeletevaries really
