I have noticed most of you are here to make money. So this might be a good stress reliever to see accomplishment in the finance department. What else do you do? I like to write my feelings to relieve stress, and run to clear the head........

Sleep is one of my stress relievers, too. When I feel a lot of stress, I want to sleep a lot more than normal.

Lately aromatherapy. I also like to get it on with my husband to relieve stress-it really works. Sometimes I also just need a little time away from the kids too.

Usually a mix between playing games and exercise/sports, running swimming, or cycling though nothing better than playing sports.

I don't do MY LOT for the money. I do it for two main reasons...it is really relaxing but more important, there may be someone with a serious problem and the discussion may lead to a comment that is ever so needed to help "cure" that problem. I may be the first to think of it and that would bring great pleasure. I may also add to another's excellent response which should bring joy to both of us responders. A little reason, not really dwelled on, is for a laugh.
