What do you do to relax in a stressful situation?

Question

In a stressful situation such as driving in traffic or facing a deadline at work, what do you do (away from home) to relax and calm yourself?

Answer 1

Breath deep.... Then i think about other situations i am glad i am NOT in... I usually fell a little less stress after I see how fortunate i am.

Answer 2

watch an old movie that i love, go book shopping (or just shopping!) flip through my address book and get in contact (either by email, phone or sometimes writing a letter) to an old friend, or book a flight and go visit friends or relatives in a not-too-far-away place.

sometimes just being around people who make you laugh is enough to make you forget why you're stressed out. with deadlines- which stress me out most, i sit back and try to remember that the people who are demanding this deadline are not going to physically kill me if i don't make it (although they may be tempted!) and in traffic you should find a radio station that you love or a cd that relaxes you.

either way, neither is worth getting worked up over.

Answer 3

Breath, in through nose, out through mouth. Know that there is always someone worse off than you no matter what the situation!

Answer 4

just chill and relax go and get your nails done and get a pedicure. if you are sitting in traffic play your frovitate CD and relax things will go smooth soon. you won,t always feel that way.
