What do you do to relieve your stress?

Published

As a student in nursing school I have had to learn creative ways to relieve my stress. So I am curious what do you do to help relieve all the stress?

i've taken up exercise (when time permits! lol), bubble baths and sometimes I've been known to go see a movie alone!

For me, if I dont take a break, I can get crazy!

exercise is good but i haven't done it in a while D:

i go out with friends or just take some time for myself to sit around and do nothing.

Get into the outdoors. Go out with friends who are NOT nursing students. Turn the stereo in the car up loud and sing along with the music. Spend time with my son doing something he enjoys or just talking.

I work out - I refuse to give it up although I might cut down while I'm in school. It's great for stress relief. I also take a bath every day which might take up to 30 minutes :tbsk:, it's awesome. I also try to get to bed at a decent hour and never stay up 'til all hours cramming. Lack of sleep also adds to the stress.
