Goddess4u: Well I used to go for a walk along the beach, and maybe paddle in the water, too. But now back in London what am I gonna do to relieve stress?
to release stress I take a ride on my motorcycle through the country side checking out nature .In IOWA its FALL the trees are in full color this time of the year, very relaxing .
Usually I meditate or take a walk on one of my favorite nature trails. The other things I do are put on some of my favorite music and play my djembe with it, or put my hands in soil in my garden.
I used to handle stress with alcohol and cigarettes, but I've come a long way, Baby! And I'm happier, and much more at peace these days than I've ever been in my life. (<---organic fruit juice)

Hi-sounds good..you say you like to play with your djembe while listening to music.. Djembe..is that what I think it is? I never heard it called that before.Is that a pet name?

I'd like to be there with you! It is hotter than Hades here---still "feels like" over 100 degrees and humid like a sauna....
Been riding John Deere for two hours....that's kind of stress-relieving....
dotyclae: That sounds fabulous, but most of the time I pretty much stick to the whole "working out my frustrations at the gym" thing. It keeps me fit and an added bonus is that I am less likely to physically assault someone since I'm too exhausted to do anything!;-)
.................Likewise I take my Stress to to the Gym and work it out of the system..... ... ....
