How do you deal with stress?
« on: December 09, 2011, 05:49:11 PM »
 @@^ How do you deal with stress?

Next year I will start on a big project (more about it later), but it means that I have a lot of stuff going on in my head. :D
Usually I can deal with it, but there are some days that it gets overwhelming.

Unfortunately alcohol disagrees with me !!!, so that is out

So how do you guys deal with stress when it gets too much?

Pete

Somewhere in nature for me away from the mod cons, preferably in the surf. I tend get alot of ideas bobbling in the surf and allows some clarity considering I do project management as a job and sometimes the brain is in over drive during the week and nights.

If around town / home on a weekend the phone goes in the drawer on Friday arvo and charged up on a Sunday night for the week - hard to do at first but what a relief.

That aside pinball stuff - playing, reading and tinkering as I am not a drinker myself either.

Curious about the big project.....

have a good one.

Actually just did a lap of the block with the kids and Mrs Pinnies4me, then an hour in the pool with the kids - feeling very relaxed now.

That's the tonic - the ultimate relaxant. I have the same setup at home, and after 2 glasses of home made Vino, all your cares disappear !

If I'm really stressed - I take a hot shower and thought like "this stress will blow over and in a week from now, I'll be fine again" - just don't take the vino in the shower - tastes bad watered down !

I find I'm stressed when I'm not working on something.
