Does `Bud make one Wiser ? 
LOL (Bud just gives me the Munchies & makes me laugh at everything) LOLOh, I never thought just Look'in @ Budweiser could make a person happy & less stressful

I used to deal with stress in not so great ways, like smoking. I quit recently and it remains a struggle so I am Very interested in finding other ways to chill... it's so easy to light up the moment negativity strikes... It doesn't feel like that desire will ever go away
You might think this is weird but I think that a good stress reliever is cleaning... Yah nobody likes to do that but, it's a surprisingly good distraction, and the feeling of a clean home afterwards helps keep the peace... Going for a drive is also relaxing and gives you time to cool down and think
I quit a long time ago and STILL have the desire to smoke, almost every day. What helped a lot was always keeping hard candy and gum close by, a pen to click to keep my hands busy, a straw to put in my mouth like a cigarette, and reading all the info from the American Lung Association. Its been 25 years and I think about cigarettes and smoking every day. So when negativity strikes I chomp on hard candy, polish the Monte (keeps the hands busy), and then drive.
I also find cleaning therapeutic - and rewarding. Nothing beats looking at a clean shiny surface (especially a car) when you're feeling stressed!

Hi Angie,
& thanks for taking the time to share your tips on dealing with stress & also keeping your Monte all shiny 
I really like shiny `White cars 4-Sure...You have a beautiful one & it makes me think of & miss my former White Monte Carlo LT3.
Wish you a SuperFunSunday ~>EnJoy & thanks for posting.
^ I wonder what type of car wash product she is using ? But the car looks great doesn't it (lol)

I deal with stress poorly... I internalize too much... usually the outlet is cleaning/organizing. Its funny, but when I'm aggravated, i direct the energy into fixing/cleaning because that just contributes to my frustration. I see all the stuff that's been put off, so I just pick something and start doing.. it gives me a sense of accomplishment.

Thanks `Kernie for your words & Post. It's great to see you online...Yes I think cleaning is a good way to keep your mind off other problems, plus + you are doing something that has to be done...I procrastinate on cleaning sometimes, but it's always on my 2 `do list
I think the key is any positive action to prevent yourself from falling deeper into the "Pity Pot" & staying in control of your life....It's easy to say Poor `me & be negative about life...To me, that is not living...That is just existing & wasting ones life.
I try to do my best to extract the most from each new `day that I am given 4-Sure....What `if ?
Thanks member's for your contributions & I hope this thread & member's posts helps another member...It's always a refresher for me...
Wish everyone a fun/stress`free/happy life 4-Real
Peace/Love/Happiness/Respect to `all
