Sleeping, yoga, or baking usually works for me. Watching baked goods puff up in the oven is very zen. I actually sit down on the floor and stare in the oven.

Denene, books on tape are wonderful. I love them.
Also, if someone calls me on the phone, and I know it’s going to be a long conversation, I do what I call “phone walking.”

I walk around the track about 10 times listening to a book on tape.

Michelle, do you have a treadmill? The desk was pretty easy to make.

Love the treadmill desk. I’d love to have one. Exercise is a great stress reliever. And sitting still is anything but stress relieving.
I like taking a walk/hike outside to relieve stress or sometimes I’ll bust a move on Just Dance 3.

I have several stress relievers. First is the kids being at school (2 weeks and counting). Second is doing a really mundane job like sorting the laundry out (my mind clicks off, hanging the washing out (blows away the cobwebs). Watching Richard Armitage or Colin Firth on television (sorry what was I typing?)cooking or if Im really really stressed out, I will clean my mother in laws kitchen! Failing that a mug of tea, cake and a Doris day film works miracles!
