Things have been stressful for all Americans (the world too) for the past 2 months. How do you deal with stress? Are you a talker or do you hold things close to the vest? What kind of things do you do to cope with stress?
I’ve taken up crafting and baking (like my mom) to help relieve stress and to keep my mind on other things. Have 2 young children to take care of means that I have to stay strong for them. I’m not a talker and typically keep things held in. I’m trying to do better with that by expressing my feelings more often. How about you?
I hold things close to myself. However, my family encourages me to talk more. I walk more and do more baking. I like this week’s quote and agree with it.
I go for long walks in my neighborhood and work in my yard and garden a lot these days which is the way I try to keep from getting too anxious. I have been cutting back on watching the news and being on social media.
Well, I’ve gotten good at just dealing with stress by holding it in these last few years. I’ve been recovering from serious illness in a nursing home, learning to walk again. Just when I’m ready to go home, a dang pandemic hits! Geeze! Well, when I get home, I might just start screaming, lol, but I’ll hold it together until then. I suspect some therapy of the emotional kind might be in order when I get home and we can actually go out to people’s offices.
I hold it close to my vest also. My husband talks it out. So I listen to him and let him get it out. He is staying at home like everyone else. So I just get my relief by sewing and just doing things that give me pleasure.
I deal with stress by trying to keep to myself and keeping busy. I do a lot of cleaning and yard work until I feel better. I also talk to my best friend a lot about what is bothering me.
