Besides the ones on here who will respond with Prayer and praying, I am wondering especially when some others here are stressed what do they do to relax and calm down? I know for me many times writing helps and painting rocks. Other times it is sleep but then due to things going on right now, there are days when nothing seems to help and wondering if there is something here I have not thought about I might want to consider. (No I don't drink and not into any medications either) ~~TINA~~

Well, lots of things. I do pray. I also read my Bible and listen to worship music. I love singing so that relaxes me. =) And I love photography so that does too.

I'm rarely stressed, but when I am, talking to my husband and friends helps me the most.

i am able to relax simply by just going in the room, taking a break from all the noise of the television, and even from my phone. I just would lie down and think of nothing. it helps calm me down and i guess i am used to doing this and having a silent time just whenever i feel like i've had too much to handle.

I swim like there is no tomorrow. I hate that public pools are dirty but its the only way I can afford to swim.

I take a good book and I read, this is something that helps a lot to relax.

I find going for walk to a peaceful place like a park relaxing. If I watch a good movie, that is also relaxing.

Aside from prayer, I like to paint rocks, write, and watch TV. Listening to music is also a good way to relax.

I am a emotional painter and poet, meaning I let out what is bothering me on paper, or canvas/whatever you want to paint on. It never has to be pretty or ugly, just what is bothering me.

Lately, I go and write some fan fiction of the latest thing I am obsessed with. I don't show anyone, it just makes me happy because I am putting myself in a different world for a little while, I also and I have done this for a while is I put on musicals. I can't listen to just any music when I am stressed or panicked, it has to be musicals and I feel so much better just singing along.
