What do YOU do to relieve stress?

[PhantaBitten]

Walk!
As soon as I get home from work, I take the kids (4 legged) out for at least a half an hour walk, no matter the weather. Rain, snow, sun, we are always out right after I get home and it helps me unwind from a day at the office.

Shopping... then I get stressed out about the money I spent.

It depends on the kind of stress. If it is just from being hectic and traveling, then I light the candles and jump in the tub. But, if it is from dealing with idiot criminals and their defense lawyers, then I go to the range and shoot things.

Open a bottle of good red wine and snuggle with my kitties!

Eat, or shop. Neither one is good.

Most effective to me:
1. yoga
2. meditate
3. exercise
4. talk to my loved ones

I'll have to try that.

If you can't go to the range, play video games. It's the same concept. At least, it relieves my stress when I shoot things in the game.
