Feeling quite stressful today. It is just lots of thinking to do, worried about my boy when I am not around at home, if I have a part-time or full time job. I won't be at home because I will be living somewhere else since the job is not located nearby my home.
So when I am in stress mode, I draw instead of indulging myself into food or sleeping. I found that drawing helps me to release my worries, I could focus well instead. See this attached Snoopy drawing? Yup I drew this before I wrote this post.
So, what do you do when you are in stress mode?
Go for a walk?
Eat and sleep?
Listen to music?

When I have stress, I like to watch a movie or do something I like, such as cooking, painting and something else.

Shopping helps to reduce stress especially when you buy your favorite food

I love your drawing, it's really good! I sketch sometimes, read a good book, do a writing, pray, or go for a nice brisk walk with my dog, when I feel stressed.

@kobesbuddy oh a big dog is safer, here the park is for Muslims, Chinese and indians, so no dogs

thanks for your compliment, prayer helps me to destress too. A walk would be good if there isn't any muggers around.

I listen to music and I either sleep, draw, or write. It depends on what is stressing me out and how stressed out I am. Nothing beats a good nap haha

Things can definitely be stressful. There can be a lot of stress, and also a lot of ways to relieve it. I'll go for walks, read a book, listen to some relaxing music, just to name a few things. These are just some things that help.

@peachpurple depends on my mood. But if I'm stressed, it's just classical/relaxation music.

The first thing I do is to listen music. Obviously that's the cheapest way for me to de-stress. Then I go for a walk. If all else fails, I will go stress eating

@peachpurple yes, those are "kwek-kwek" which is egg with pudding-like starch on it that looks like a ball of cheetos. The other white ones are squid balls.
And oh, I like hotdogs, too

I love your drawling!
I am trying not to eat for comfort! It got to be a bad habit when nursing my baby! so instead I like to go for walks, color, crochet, drink a cup of tea and just look over the mountains with some good music on. A general combination of all those helps me!

I stress eat. or I listen to songs. Those are the things that I can do when I am stressed. I normally got stressed when I need to beat a deadline in our printing shop or if there is a task at work that needs to get done.

I de-stress much as you do, plus taking in movies and books - your drawing is great
