As for stress (and lemme me tell ya, I can be the Queen of Stress), I meditate, I spend extra time with my furbabies, and I get out in nature and try to commune with the beauty surrounding me. Exercise helps a lot too, especially pilates<br /><br />Sometimes, when none of those things work, I go down to the basement and scream really loud!Beth Hoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770840174293503835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206029274559460902.post-53406218173360626882011-09-27T16:37:41.659-07:002011-09-27T16:37:41.659-07:00God, I'm the worst meditator.

I've had panic attacks in the past, and I know breathing exercises to sort that out, but just doing breathing exercises on my own time, ARGH I HATE IT. I wish I didn't. I am always so jealous of people who manage to stop worrying and love the breathing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206029274559460902.post-12820217807066750162011-09-27T11:15:14.046-07:002011-09-27T11:15:14.046-07:00Did someone say chocolate???

On a healthier front, taking a walk and getting a good night's sleep work better.<br /><br />I'm a dabbler too when it comes to yoga and meditation. I get all geared up, do it for a week and then "get busy" again. I could see this being an appealing read for me.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206029274559460902.post-45241931677042539932011-09-27T07:17:38.614-07:002011-09-27T07:17:38.614-07:00I find the best cure to stress is a dog - they'...I find the best cure to stress is a dog - they're always happy to see you and make you walk twice a day.

I am constantly trying to figure out different ways to manage anxieties and create a sense of peace.

Just learning to quiet the little voice in the mind. Burying myself in a totally absorbing book works for me too, when I can get it to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
