Life can get pretty stressful at times, and everybody needs some time to unwind and just relax and release some tension. I like to take a hot bath, ride a horse, take a nap, read a good book, eat lots of yummy fatty food and much more. How do you deal with stress? What do you do when you get stressed out?

yes, life is indeed stressful sometimes. The ways you mentioned, I think,can work well. They are relaxing. Personally, I like to listen to my favorite songs and daydream a bit.

I do that too. I usually listen to songs that reflect how I feel at the time.

I deal with stress through prayer. I'll go to my place of prayer and tell God all about whatever issue is stressing me. When I get through praying, I ALWAYS feel much better and God's peace enters my heart and calms me.

I understand where you are coming from. Prayer is a great stress reliever.

In order to cope with stress, I usually just do something that I like to do. I'll read a book, I'll do some meditation, relaxation or breathing exercises, I'll go for a walk, I'll do some writing, or something like that. These are just a few things that I'll do in order to cope with stress.
