How do you guys decompress?
Hi ladies!
I've had a VERY stressful year (2009) and I'm having a very hard time balancing my life. I need to find an outlet to relax and nothing is working (reading isn't working, music/dancing just makes me realize how old and out of shape I am!, and watching TV is boring).
What do you guys do to release stress? Oh and I've been working out a lot (new years resolution) which is kind of adding to the stress because I have less free time now! We don't have kids yet (TTC) and I can't imagine balancing that on top of everything else!!!
Re: How do you guys decompress?
Not by watching this ABC special on Haiti, that's for sure. So sad.
Anyhoo, do you craft at all? I started crocheting a little over a year ago and there's something very calming about it, plus there's an amazing sense of satisfaction from creating something with your own two hands.
But...are you looking for something that won't take any time? It's too bad that exercise isn't working for you!
A good girls night always works great... exercising (not intense but at least working up a sweat helps make me feel more centered and accomplished)... I'm not good in the least bit at yoga but it totally helps release stress and makes me feel more centered as well.
Mani/pedis also are awesome!
I watch dribble on TV. Yes it can be boring but I don't have to think at all. It's one of the only ways I can shut my brain off in a way.
Maybe try taking a long bath, have some quiet music in the background.
Thanks ladies! I do love scrapbooking and I always forget about it so I am going to break out the supplies this weekend and do that for a few hours.
I love working out, but for some reason it doesn't de-stress me. Weird because I know it's supposed to! I'm taking a spin class tomorrow morning with a friend so maybe that'll help!
This would stress me out!

That's too bad working out doesn't help destress you! It helps me a lot.
But mostly I just knit, knit, knit, all the time. And I mean ALL the time. And I read a lot- I read more when I've had a lousy day. And I cook.
haha, i was so stressed the first time I took it now I feel like a pro after only 3 classes!
