Dealing with stress constructively
I had a moment of clarity last year in which I realized that, until I learned to deal with stress better, I would never stop overeating to deal with stress.
Sounds obvious, right?
So I have experimented and found several things that work for me, not necessarily in this order or in every circumstance:
- Support from people (such as my wonderful tea-brewing husband)
- Exercise (usually something fairly intense)
- Holosync (”automatic” meditation)
- Spiritual practices (my childhood religion, in my case)
And, puppy cams.

laughed out loud at the puppy cam.
Im still struggling to find my NO FAIL GO TO for stress relief.
right now it is/are deep breaths….10.
Never underestimate the power of breathing!
I reguarly cruise YouTube for funny videos. I grab the funniest ones each week and put them on my blog. Regular laughter and humor can modulate your immune system, helping with a healthy immune response.
Good one, Craig — I was stressed at work and one of my coworkers sent several SNL videos including the Fix-It guy on the economy. Definitely laughed!
