<p>After a particularly stressful event or day, what do you do to relax or de-stress?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

2

<p>Yoga! …</p>

3

<p>Yoga, yes.</p>

4

<p>I thought everyone did ‘CC’?</p>

5

<p>The yoga posters have fewer than 100 posts. It is CC for me.</p>

6

<p>I go to the gym. I can walk in there tied up tighter than a tic and walk out feeling really good.</p>

<p>A glass or two of red wine also goes a long way.</p>

7

<p>Long walks. And CC. It relieves my stress to know there are smart folks here who talk about serious as well as silly things.</p>

8

<p>Shop (that should be ten characters). See Good Buy of the Day thread.</p>

9

<p>In the summer, I weed the garden (great for getting rid of frustration) and in the winter I drink wine and take a hot bath and read a book.</p>

10

<p>I run… and I drink.</p>

11

<p>I move plants, have a massage, have sex, listen to music.</p>

<p>When I used to have Oregon Trail on my computer, I would load up a wagon with people on my %#@* list & give them all dysentery or cholera.</p>

12

<p>Good weather: brisk walk
Bad weather: yoga…</p>

<p>Modern Family helps too…last night’s episode was epic</p>

13

<p>I do preventive maintenance: I walk two or three miles most days, with my dogs, in a semi-wild bit of National Forest. Thank you, all, for helping to pay for it with your tax dollars ;-)</p>

14

<p>Hit a tennis ball for two or three sets followed by red wine and sleep.</p>

15

<p>Rodney - Yes! Modern Family is fabulous! But, The Middle - I am CONVINCED they have a secret camera in our home! That is our family! :)</p>

16

<p>Walk, and red wine</p>

17

<p>Running is nice. Stretching is nice after the stretching session is over.</p>

18

<p>CC helps me relax too. I also take improv classes and go see as much local comedy as I can.</p>

19

<p>Halo on the Xbox 360…</p>

<p>Golden retrievers and port wine were invented just for this purpose.</p>
