Life is full of different stressors in our lives. Whether we
work, or not, are a parent or not, are married or single, there is
no way to avoid stress. SO WHAT IS ONE TO DO?
There are many things that stress us out. What do you do after
having a stressful day or night?
Since my injury last year, my ways to de stress have become
different. Before, I liked to walk, and walk and walk, just to
clear my thoughts.
Now, that I am not able to do as much physical work as before, I
enjoy writing. Nothing professional, but I want my grandchildren to
have something of their own to look back and remember me by.
What do you do to relax?
With all the stress in our lives, we need an escape. It is for our
well being. Stress causes a number of different medical issues.
If we can de-stress, we can maintain a HEALTHIER way of life. So
relax and take a deep breath and do whatever it takes to enjoy your
life.
How do you relax?............by Super Abuelita

Report AbuseBrandy,
I like the sound water makes, while just sitting down and relaxing . I went fishing with a friend once, and fell asleep from just listening to the calm, relaxing sounds from the water.

Report AbuseThe poet OS,
You do such a great job writing. Reading stories and poems, such as you write take me far away and are so great.
Keep doing what you do. You are great!

Report AbuseI have to agree "water" has to be the most relaxing ways for me to de-stress! Simply driving by the ocean; smelling the water in the air, walking on a beach, or simply sitting by a lake is sooooo relaxing. A great book or movie and avoiding "all" negative things such as media (news/newspapers) and friends or family (sorry guys) who are constantly "complaining or lives are filled w/drama."
A bath, candles, and some nice tunes =
:)

Report AbuseDear SuperA, I go into your garden. Here is your plantscope. Hope you like it. (Zelda Jean calls these uncanny.)
SuperA, I gave you the Rowan Tree. While it gives a shade, it is a dappled shade, no darkness, just a soft cool place to rest.
With the Rowan Tree and your choice of flowers, you are the type of gardener that is cheerful, gentle, full of life and has an immense capacity to love. You are a loyal friend that loves deeply and is genuine in all you do and say. (roses, tulips and daisies) You are the type of gardener that others seek out. You are great company. Have wonderful taste in everything you associate with.
If you have a particular color of rose or tulip, the color also has a meaning but typically they are plants that tell of LOVE.
Your mother's choice of lilacs, tells on you. She gave you the gift of love and fairness.
Hugs to you and hope you enjoyed.
