    Default Stress?

    How do you deal with stress? I’m not too good at it. My main attempts are to go for a hard 3 mile run and lifting weights. Though lately lifting has been on the back burner from the time aspect. I’ve don’t yoga before and that is awesome for stress relief. Also, I try to control my breathing helps a lot. Scuba diving has thought me to control my breathing and I try to bring that into daily life as much as possible, but I still can get worked up. “Venting” to the Misses also helps a lot. She is usually full of good ideas which are somehow missing to me. I guess having an outsider offer solutions to your problems offers an “Outside the Bun” perspective to life’s problems.

    Venting is always good. You just have to find the right person to vent to. I also like to grab a cigar and sit outside somewhere where its quiet and just relax. Going out to the bar with friends is also good. Pretty much anything that distracts me from what I'm stresses about helps.

    Wow talk about timing. Just today, I was sitting in my car waiting on one of my employees to show up so I could show him some things. I asked early this morning what time he was going to be there. I was told 11am, I ran a couple of errands and showed up where we were to meet at 10:55am. At 11:17am, I called him to find out where he was, no answer. I found myself screaming at the top of my lungs, inside my car. I hate to be late, and to have someone else be late.

    As I drove home, I thought, I need a cigar and some beer. I however, didn't get either today, I had too many other things to do, and it was 92 degrees with 60% RH. I do feel better now though.

    Venting is good. Find someone that listens and vent away. Plus, try to set an evening (at least once a week) with close friends to shoot the breeze. Either out in a bar, or just chilling at someone house smoking a good cigar, playing poker, or just talking.

    Of course there's sports. Whatever you enjoy most, go out and do it, whether it's just for 15 minutes to 1 hour. If I'm strap for time, I can get a small bucket at the driving range and just whack away for 30 min or less.

    For me, it's a fine cigar, something good to drink, a nice quiet place and an excellent book. That's the perfe ct stress relief for me.
    There's only two kinds of cigars, the kind you like and the kind you don't.

    I walk a few miles daily and every time the Yankee's lose another game it just relieves stress. Go figure :)

    I absolutely love reading, but there's no way I can concentrate on a book when there are pressing issues on my mind. Although I will agree with you on the stogie + snifter, though.

    If my mind is really racing with work stuff, a good book helps shift the gears down a couple of notches.......or is that the drink(s)?

    Getting adequate sleep, drinking lots of water, and taking vitamins helps me a lot.

    When I'm swamped with work at home, I try to squeeze in a few beers or a cigar or two.
