Dealing w/stress -

My go to prior to this journey was to eat through my stress - it didn't remove the stress but merely distracted me from it. 

 

I am going to temporarily remove myself from the stress, walk about and then come back to it. I have to accept that I can change what's causing the stress, it will still be present AFTER the walk about but for ten minutes I won't have to hear it. 

 

How do you handle stressful situations that you are unable to change or retreat from?

A change of scenery often helps me. Going to visit someone or something like that.

I use music or podcasts from my mp3 player.  I can block out the world, sink into inspirational waves of music or words...and emerge again a much happier, brighter person.  Hope this helps!

Walking has been shown to help improve our state of mind, calm us and encourage creative thinking.  All of those would help relieve you of your stress.

 

So, yes, get out for a walk.  Nothing too fast, as your pace of thought seems to be linked to your walking speed.  Find somewhere nice and go for a stroll.

I usually walk it out, but I've found an amazing app called Calm that gives you a quick meditation and relaxing sounds, it's available for iOS and Android.

Thanks for all the suggestions!! Yesterday I had forgotten both my phone and tablet at home so I couldn't listen to anything - which is usually what I do.  

 

I'm a big fan of Pandora and Amazon Prime music. 

 

I did get out and go for a stroll, too.
