What do you do to relax

I know sometimes i get anxiety and stressed from variable things going on in life. What do you do to cope?

    I play board games with my boyfriend or I will go babysit my niece and nephew. Those are the only things I can keep my mind busy.

    - I note down the things that happened this day. !!! On paper - with a pencil !!!

    (I don´t trust in IT.) That helps me to slow down my brain and qualifies how to react.

    On days off I go and shoot guns, play with my daughter, join my friends and let the kids take over. Anything to distance myself as much as possible from what I do.

    Chant (meditation), go out in nature, play my favorite instruments, watch movies/tv, spend time with my family and/or friends...

    Read, play the piano, go for a walk or run outside, make plans with a friend, paint my nails and watch a movie, snuggle and talk with the boyfriend. Whatever mashes me glad to be alive in that moment.

    Bake, bake, BAKE!! Something really elaborate and attention-requiring, like "Spanish Wind" torte :)

    Go for some foodie shopping.

    Drive with Pink Floyd or Queen blasting full power (we recently got 75 mph speed limit, yeay!)

    Read.

    Continue to learn Spanish.

    Plans once I am done with Boards and get new job under some stability: learn how to sew my own clothes :)

    I meditate, practice yoga, read, swim, get fresh air, exercise if I am mildly stressed.

    If I am moderately stressed from work I tell my husband to remind me not to talk about work.

    If I am very stressed I cry first.

    Because of my Recovery journey I assess each stressful situation to see what category it fits into. Is it something within my power to change or not. If not I try to "let go and let God" handle it. If it is within my power to change I roll up my sleeves and get to work. Once the work day is over you can usually find me in my garden where I grow unique and interesting heirloom vegetables and even play amateur horticulturalist. Play with the dog or go watch my son play football or wrestle. He is a high school athlete and pretty good athlete.

    Peace
