All our technology hasn't made our lives easier, but more stressful. I like to take a walk or read to help reduce stress. It’s amazing how much stress is a “regular” part of our lives.

I know this, yet I still haven't done much to counter how unhealthily I deal with stress. Good points! Happy T13! I can certainly attest to #s 5 & 6.

What I should do is go fora good long walk. That does it too. My favorite way to de-stress is to sit back and read. What I should do is go fora good long walk. That does it too.

We often stress about things that we can't change and that just makes things worse! Susan L - welcome! I'm so glad you found me. Reading always works for me too. :grin: Amy – quite true.

Take some time for yourself and do some of your favorite things. I always find a walk near water soothes me - either the beach or a river or lake. It's the sound of the water that is relaxing.

With me it's coming out as sleepless nights. Last night I tossed and turned for what seemed like most of the night. And I had a nightmare about vampires of all things. That's a new one for me! With me, it's often the writing that contributes to my stress. That's definitely what's on my mind at the moment. Exercise works every time with me, although my mind doesn't always switch off. Like a lot of you I love music and reading. Ah, I’m not the only one who suffers from stress at times. With me it’s coming out as sleepless nights.

You wipe out whatever is causing the stress. Another way is to recline and just close your eyes a few minutes and think NICE THOUGHTS> susan Leech I can destress by just relaxing and reading a good book.
