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 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
