What do you do to relax and de-stress?

What do you do to relax and de-stress?

I know that we all have our times when stress levels hit a point where you have to step back and find a comforting distraction temporarily to regain your composure.

I'm and avid tennis player and that works for me.  I also enjoy going to the gym, cooking, and I LOVE gardening and landscaping around my home.

And of course, blogging really helps for me to let some of the stress come out of my fingertips.

The gardening thing really works for me.  If I'm working from my home office and start to get a little too intense with work, I'll put on my gardening had and start to trim, plant, water and just make things look nice.

What do some of my other ActiveRain peeps do to de-stress temporarily?

Golf, golf, and more golf.  And when I am stressed about that I go back to work :)

Jane!

I didn't know you were a golfer?!

Let's play a round some time.

I'm OK, but not the world's greatest golfer, but do have my own clubs.

Does Stewart play too?

Ralph, just some down time with a cup of hot tea and some light snacks, like maybe a few cookies, just something light.  It started when I was still living in Hong Kong and we adopted some of the British afternoon tea break thing.  I don't have to do it at home, I can just do it in my office, took 15 minutes away from the crazy whatever I am doing.   And I will be ready to go after that.

Jump on that 21-speed mountain bike and get that wind in my face feeling. I try to do it as much as possible.

Hi Ralph - I really enjoy going out on the patio with a glass of iced tea and a crossword puzzle book.

Don't laugh, I like to clean house, clean out closets, and turn up the stereo really loud!    OR, mow the yard, work with the flowers.   Just makes the day better!
