Stress Relief 101

[zippy-kat]

Good morning and welcome to Stress Relief 101! Course materials include:

** 1 (or more) pet(s)
** a set of lungs
** 1 (or more) favorite quote(s)

Ready? Let's begin...
First, go grab your furbie(s) and give them a big hug! Hey...I see YOU!!...you aren't moving! Go!! Get!! They could use a hug and it'll do you good, too! Ok, good.

Next, you'll be using those lungs. Take a deep, deep breath through your nose and hold....holddd Ok you in the back--yes, you the one that's turning blue---go ahead and release!....hollddd... and release thru your mouth.

Ok, now...got that quote ready? Post away!!!

~~~~~
One thing that helps me to relax is to re-read my quote journals (yes, I'm a dorkie english major...have 2 journals filled with quotes! lol) Tension on pet talk (and life in general) sometimes runs high, and I thought this might be a good place for ppl to relieve stress in a constructive manner. Hope you enjoy...feel free to post as many as you want!

Never make a permanent decision based on a temporary storm. Not matter how raging the billows are today, remind yourself: "This to shall pass!"

If you're feeling low, don't despair. The sun has a sinking spell every night, but it comes back up every morning!

Ok, a few Profound thoughts..... Things that make ya go Hmmm..:

Never use a preposition to end a sentence with.

Is a book listing the definitions of habitual substances known as an addictionary?

Seen on a bumper sticker:

I have done point 1 and 2 of the stress relief exercise before I left for work, but I can't think of anything for point 3 : Perhaps because I'm at work and my brain has gone into "dull mode"?. Have to try again tonight

I have two...one serious and one fun one...

Gio, that is exactly how I feel! It's like this place sucks most of the life right out of me!!!!!

Thanks Tonya! This was a great idea! Here's one I saw over the past weekend that is appropriate:

"I don't know the quickest way to a man's heart. My puppy does but she's not telling"

*Happiness is seeing your mother-in-law on a milk carton. (Hey! I'm not married--I'm allowed that one! lol)

*A Freudian slip is when you say one thing but mean your mother.

*I'm trying to imagine you with a personality.

*And which Dwarf are you?

*Guy's have feelings too. But like....who cares?!

*So few men. So few who can afford me.

*God made us sisters, Prozac made us friends.

* Princess, having had sufficient experience with Princes, seeks frog.

*What am I? Flypaper for freaks?!
