On Stress

Stress is a fact of life. We have positive ways of dealing with stress, and we have negative ways. I thought I'd share some of my own personal positive stress-reducing tactics. I encourage you to make your own list of healthy stress-reduction techniques and refer to them when you're tempted to resort to your negative or counter-productive habits.

My personal top ten ways to reduce stress:


1. Exercise
2. Abdominal breathing
3. Reading
4. Writing down my thoughts
5. Warm bath
6. Listening to music
7. Decorating or home improvement projects
8. Talking to someone close to me
9. Listening to comedy on satellite radio
10. Stretching

What are yours?
