I have been stressed out for a little while and I am trying to figure out how to relieve stress that doesn't involve drinking wine Wink

I have been exercising and that is about it.

What do you do to relieve stress !?

    Exercise, a cup of tea, a nap, drawing, a warm bath, window shopping, playing the piano, cleaning the house (I don't think the actual cleaning helps me destress, but the feeling of a clean house is wonderful)...

    Ugh, you know me- wine and exercise, same as you. 

    I do find it de-stressing to do some sort of craft or creative thing- IF I'm not on a time line, otherwise it stresses me out.  You know, to set up a table at night and just kind of forget about everything and focus on making, like, a felt Advent calender, for example.  ;)

    Bath?  Candles?  Reading?

    I have found that if I am really stressed out I need to do 2 things.  First, get everything done that has to be done.  Second, go out sans baby and/or husband and do something fun like see a movie, get a pedicure, or of course, wine!

    I can't give you any great ideas since I am overwhelmed with stress right now and nothing seems to be helping me.  So, just want to say good luck and I hope you find something that helps!

    Something alone... I'm a total loaner when it comes to de-stressing.  Working on a project, gardening, a long walk.  Or the list maker in me I love to make a to do list then start crossing things off as I complete them!

    Bubble bath

    What really does it for me is going out alone. It doesn't really matter where but usually I end up browsing a bookstore and sipping coffee or sipping coffee at Starbucks and reading/writing.

    I have a variety of things I do to relieve stress:

    -take a shower

    -exercising

    -take a nap (I know this may not be possible with the LO)

    -go out and do something. Even if it is walking.

    -Cooking and baking. I seem to be calmer when I make a homemade meal or dessert.
