i have a few things that i'll do, always always always go to the gym/run/bike etc. takes the stress right away, and makes me feel soo good. aside from that i might just take a day off, sit back, listen to sum good music or watch sum movies & not do much for the rest of the day....drawing or writing also helps sometimes too:)

I usually stay busy with school or work, then goto the gym for a few hours, eat something healthy then sit back, smoke a phat joint and spin some records. This whole process makes me feel ALOT better, keeps me centered.

Sometimes i also talk to people, go out and have some fun, get really drunk and have a blast with some close friends.

I have a self-care plan when shit gets stressful. Like if you are going through a tough time, make sure you have time to put towards yourself (ie. going for icecream, walking dogs, going for dinner, playing sports, whatever!). Doing things that you enjoy. Doing things that will elleviate stress and anxiety. Like talking to someone who will empathize with your situation, like your Mom, best friend, boyfriend. It really varies from situation, but really doing any of these things makes me feel at least a lil better.

Good luck with your situation Krismata.

i sometimes clench my teeth too, i find the best way to deal with it is if i notice myself doing it, take a breath or drink some water.

Whatever is going on in your life, think of it as the start of a new chapter in your life. If it sucks now, think of new things you can do and new people you can meet to start new great things in your life. When life reaches a dead end, find an alternate route. hope that makes any sense.

krisamata · #20 (**permalink**) Jan 21, 05

it does make sense, and i think thats why im coping with all of this much better than i normally would be.

things could be much much worse.

and things will get better.
