I usually play the guitar to relieve myself from stress.Playing the guitar helps me forget bad memories in life.Sometimes I would call my sister to jam with me and it would really be fun.How about you how do you deal with the stress in your life?

One of the ways I like to reduce stress is by singing. I'll crank up a favorite CD, something I know all the words to, and sing my heart out. It helps release stress and lifts the mood. Sometimes, I dance along with singing, and that feels good too.

I'm a very busy person and I never have time for me, for my hobbies, so, when I can, I like drawing and painting. This is a thing I love doing, but it's a very good way to relieve myself from stress too. When I start drawing I concentrate so much that I totally forget all that is around me. Another thing I like doing is playing my bass. It's another good way to relieve myself, or writing a little....

Part of my stress management is to go to the beauty parlor to pamper myself, or to spas, or go shopping with my daughter. We end up sometimes in the "ukay-ukay" (where seconds clothes are sold), but it is still part of relieving me from work-related stress. It's also good to just sit down, watch TV, or just talk to my kids about the day's events. Talking with loved ones about what transpired at work helps...this is the "talking cure" part. . .the more you have expressed yourself, the better. .
