What do you do to relieve mid-afternoon stress?

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Tomlinson Group

I'm serious about this little survey, although it's easy to see all kinds of potential for some pretty funny answers.

For the sake of argument, here's some answers that don't count:

  • finding a bottle of Jack Daniels to drown myself in
  • Happy Hour at the local watering hole, etc... (okay, you get the picture)
  • giving up and vegging in front of the TV for the rest of the day.

It would be interesting (and fun?) to learn what relatively healthy stress relievers people find to continue on through the rest of the day.

For example: I have a listing appointment in the evening.  BUT a deal fell apart that morning, while I was also caring for a sick child (who threw up on me).... I waited in the doctor's office for 70 minutes past my appointment time, blah, blah, blah....       My stress reliever: a hilarious book by a funny lady! :-)

Now it's your turn; What's your stress reliever??

Paula,

I could say Red Wine and Dark Chocolate and this will always work.  But a better way is finding a nice quiet place and settle my mind and focus on all of the good that has taken place before the negative that has happened.

Great question ma'am.

Don,

That sounds like a great plan.  I also avoid watching the news... especially lately!!

I find sugar mid afternoon. Especially if there is a later appointment. We have a title company in the same building who accommodates all of our "sweet" needs.........guess where I am going right now?

chocolate- always a stress reliever. 

Yoga class is great, but can't do it in the middle of the afternoon. Take 3 really deep breaths, temporary but helpful. Of course if you're sitting in the doctors office some may think you're really sick. Heck, maybe you'll get in faster!

have a great week!
