What are some creative ways for me to reduce stress?
I’ve been feeling a little overwhelmed recently, and I want to know if you have some fresh ideas for chilling out.

go kayaking!!!!you might love it…also, gym, sauna’s jacuzzi, massage, hot stone massage, relaxing herb tea, and herbal inhalers like the ones available at Powell’s books. Also, reading a good book can help you de-stress. Eating soup helps with stress,although I don’t know why. Rollerblading is awesome and helps vent your daily ugh! feeling. Meditation works for sure! Also, a small dog or cat would help you relieve stress by having companionship- just make sure the dog is mellow and won’t yip and stress you out more, but animals can be really comforting….Comedy also relieves stress!!! Laugh your butt off!!!
There is also the web site called 43 things. try it, it might help.
Good luck and hang loose, goose!!!!
Take some time for yourself to do something you want to do. Treat yourself more often.
try something new and different, go to the gym, or go out and ride a bike, or pray and read the bible, thank God that your alive.
The best idea would be to stop thinking. Good or bad just stop thinking….. Coz no matter what we think it only navigates our thoughts towards the bad and negative. So stop thinking.
Stop thinking about stressful situations. I know this can be hard, but just tell yourself to snap out of it. Stay busy, like wash dishes, clean the house and decorate. Even play the music you like. Going to the gym is also very good because you are able to release adrenaline, etc.
Draw…
Sing…
Believe it or not – meditate for 15 minutes a day.
Andrew Weiss has a book out called:
‘Beginning Mindfulness: Learning the Way of Awareness’ which teaches mindfulness meditation and Jerry Braza has a book called: the Art & Practice of Mindfulness’ By: which is also excellent.
