My best Stress Reliever, what's yours?

[morjoy123]

I used to work as a freelance writer for an online bookie brand which has introduced me to the world of football 2years ago, as I am required to create a match prediction for European campaigns. I can say that it’s been a stressful working environment for me as I always run out of words, and it is definitely hard to predict the correct score that will be made at the end of the game, added the fact that you need to answer some of the punter's inquiries. Thank God it's a home based job and that I have my Pomeranian to cheer me up. He is my kind of a happy pill, the moment I hug him relieves all the stress that I get from work. Seeing him roaming around his spacious dog pen brings relaxation.

Enjoy your first slice of pie. I had a Pom growing up, and they really are great dogs if you can get over the barking.

I've been doing a yoga program called DDP Yoga for the past few months, and it's a great stress reliever in the evenings. I also play guitar, so that's a great way to just forget about whatever else is going on and focus on the song I'm playing.

Boating, diving, spearfishing, and for some strange reason, ironing and cooking.

 

I have long thought about the ironing and cooking, and the only thing I can come up with, is my job doesn't really offer an immediate gratification, as it takes months to finish a project...and the ironing and cooking is immediate.

masterbat....hroom redesign. My wife and I are looking at redoing our master bathroom and planning it out has been a pleasant distraction.

The gym and my workouts have become a big stress reliever. Actually, the more difficult the day, the more punishing my workouts are... and I feel much better afterward.

I love working out. Been more focused on cardio lately. I've become obsessed with jumping rope and all it's techniques. Something about the rythym of it and response time it builds in your nervous system intrigues me. But what's great about it is I don't realize how many calories I burn. I'm down to 183-184 now and I can see 175 in sight.

Other than that I act. But that has become more of a career aspiration as of late(2-3yrs) but it is still fun. I take a class every Sunday night. I'm in Philly B's movie which you all you guys need to watch and support because what the man is doing is incredible.(Point Man)

I also love chilling after a long day with a nice glass of GSM or tempranillo. But that's more sitting on my ass versus doing anything productive.

I do play piano and have a small set of songs I have been working on for a long time. So I like to go back and visit them and try to add stuff.

Meditation  - if you have never tried it you should.  I get done after 20 or 30 minutes and feel like I just took a shot of something completely relaxing and highly illegal.
