Well, I try to relieve stress by relaxing or doing something healthy- but sometimes it's hard! Today I had a huge let down as I was finally rejected from a grad school (after an interview and $400 later getting down there, they say they have no funding :( ).
Anyway, I made myself feel better by eating a huge bag of Reese's peanut butter cups :o and buying a bunch of stuff for the pets online. I do feel better now! :)
How do you relieve stress?
sorry bout school but I must laugh at your way to relive stress .
I usually take the dogs for a walk and take pictures or go in the back yard with them and Ted
Err, I usually cry. It always makes me feel better. Or I confess my problems to Alicia (buttercup :p)
Haha yeah not the best way to deal with things....but luckily, I only break out the chocolate on when I'm reeeaaally upset- but it always does the trick! ;)Quote:

Sit outside in the backyard with my Muttlies. I just cuddle them in the grass, all three at once. They know when I'm not feeling well and just stay by my side. :)
Well I used to eat, awful habit, but I quit that now! I usually take the pups out to play soccer and take a hot shower. Sometimes I go jogging, and when I'm really stressed, I really like to push myself so I tire out and take a nice long nap... get away from the real world for awhile.
Music works for me .......... and sitting on the floor with my spotties.
However, might have to try YOUR method of eating and shopping :D - sounds FANTASTIC!!! :D
Walks. :)
For me I always go in my room turn up the music and start working out like the active aerobic kinds its really fun and you can act like you are trying to punch the stress out.
Go the the dog park and let Ginger run through the trails off lead. It almost always make me feel better.
play with my pups or watch my fishies swim around their tank. i read in a magazine that pretzels have an ingredient that actually calms down the body. they aren't the healthiest food, but they are healthier than Reeses. lol
I go off and sulk or go to someone who will let me blow off steam and vent it out.
I am one of those who when I am upset, I can't eat... food gags me at times like that.
When my parents bother me I usually grid my teeth and eat chocolate. Sometimes I squeeze or hit stuff :p Other tims I just relax... like lie on the floor or something.
Doing something with the dogs always helps. If I am work, a power shopping trip, or &!tch fest with one of my co-workers at lunch helps relieve some stress.
I also play sports. Right now I have volleyball on Wednesdays, soccer on Fridays and in few weeks will be starting softball on Sundays.
