Stress management

[Guest guest]

So while we’re on the topic. What does

everyone do for stress management?

I’ve done relaxation tapes and

self-hypnosis in the past. I just don’t think I’d have the patience/focus/self

discipline for it now.

Taking the dog for a walk when I’m up to

it physically and the weather is nice. I can’t attend a yoga/exercise class

because of transportation issues…one of the stressors. There’s a jazzercise

class meeting twice a week in our neighborhood but I get out of breath just

thinking of that level of activity…LOL. I hope to be able to consider it someday.

I’ve just been trying to focus on all the

positives that I have in my life and try and stay in “an attitude of gratitude”.

Unfortunately, I’ve used eating as part of

stress. I’m working on that but it’s an ongoing process. Obviously not a

positive.

What do y’all do?

Kim, I can so relate to you. I feel like the stress on my

shoulders is higher than the Empire

State Building,

and on my husband's too, so we just muddle along.

There is NOTHING we can do about it, either, it's fixed.

Like you say, we have to try to control our response -- but it's so

hard. I really liked your post. Thanks.

chuckle when I read on adrenal fatigue sites “reduce your stress”. If I

list all the stressors in my life, there is not a single one that I have any

control over and could get rid of. All I can do is attempt to control my

response to them.

You sound like you have a lot of stress

right now, so that’s a factor you want to take into account, although every

time someone has ever said that to me, I can’t help but wonder: “Okay, but what

do I do about it since I the cause of my stress is not something I can control

right now?”
