I go for a walk as often as I can. It makes me concentrate and puts my mind in a good state. Watching <a href="http://www.relaxwithnature.com" rel="nofollow">nature videos</a> can help too.

It's good to take time out and enjoy the simple things in life. Nothing beats relaxing with some soulful tunes in the background. My personal favorite is Wednesday evenings...glass of wine, a Cohiba and Gilles Peterson's Worldwide programme on BBC Radio1. We all tend to get pre-occupied with our hectic, day-to-day existance that forget to sit back and smell the cafe au lait. Okay mabye forget the cigar for those who are health-conscious...

I stop when I reached 54 and couldn't feel my legs anymore. Tomorrow's lewd joke target to garner instant relaxation? "Stretch it out!". My neck is already turning noodly in anticipation.

That will be rectified shortly!!! You're absolutely right on all of those points. Without a little stress, what would we be doing? And a lot of our pressures I believe are self-imposed. Just learn your limits, and be honest with yourself, know how much energy you have to spend, where to spend it, and keep it all in check... Ah! That will be rectified shortly!!!

Some might argue that we (us PR students) are entering into a world of stress, chaos, headaches and bustle. I look at stress as a byproduct of being disorganization. If one cannot prioritize, organize and multitask; then stress if enviable. Also I think stress comes from over arching expectations. I mean, being expected to do great things is awesome. Being expected to turn water into wine, or walk on water is another thing. I look at stress as the sweat of my productivity. Without this, I feel I am not doing a good job. Miranda ps. Why am I not on your blog roll. tisk tisk STRESS— Hmmmm.

You're not alone, you know where to find me, or at least where to text me ;) Stuart - Thanks for finding me! Yes, writing definitely helps me... kandice - Oh, but there are other sources: berries, brazil nuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts, raisins, cherries, broccoli, spinach, carrots, tomatoes... lots of antioxidants! I guess coffee is more convenient... JC - Good idea, start writing again...see what masterpiece is created! ;) And I hope your pain goes away soon, take care of yourself. N - No worries, my friend.

Chen Thu, 07 Feb 2008 00:12:15 +0000 http://debunkd.wordpress.com/?p=22#comment-66 I used to write in my journal a long time ago. I just recently revived this activity in hopes of getting out all the stressful thoughts in my head, which has annoyingly manifested itself into neck and shoulder pain (ouch!). It has been very helpful because it allows me to review my thoughts of the day, but also to see if there are any patterns that I need to fix. Venting to other friends also takes a load off one's shoulders and gives one a different perspective of the issue causing stress. I used to write in my journal a long time ago.
