Does stress have you tied in a knot? |
A nonsensical way of looking at it, of course, but serving to stress the fact that stress is hardly a simple word. It's consequences and complications are something we have all felt at some time in our lives. The effects of stress are so widespread today that stressed-out is as common a response as - oh you know, same old, same old.
Another phrase commonly heard now is de-stress. People say they need to work out, meditate, do yoga, or whatever to de-stress. I guess this replaces wind down or unwind from decades past.
When stress has you in a knot, what are some of your favorite ways to de-stress?

I actually have a hard time de-stressing. My knot is usually pretty tight. Laughing is great. Spending time with people I love, and of course a glass or two never hurt.
ReplyDeleteThose are some of my ways, too. I laugh the hardest at myself, which is good medicine.
Deletereading about someone's life is a de-stressing, or really, just get away from what makes you stress out, is another good way to de-stress.
ReplyDeletehave a lovely day.
Getting away and getting your mind on something else is a good de-stresser.
DeleteI find the thing that will de-stress me the most is the ocean... sun... sand and salt!
ReplyDeleteI figured you would be thinking along those lines. You're a beach gal!
DeleteDe-stressing. That's the way to go. Now if I could de-stress 24/7, I might live forever.
ReplyDeleteSo that's the key to immortality? I thought it was the fountain of youth.
DeleteI find that if I am stressed about something, I just have to find a distraction. Read, watch a movie, sew...something that allows me to refocus onto something other than what is bothering me.
ReplyDeleteThat does help, especially if you can come back to the situation with a new perspective.
