Yes, a really good cry helps tons!

After that I ask, what can I do about (insert problem/stress here) right now?

If my stress is directly related to feeling overwhelmed I ask, what can be eliminated from the line up? what is most important? I also remind myself that I just have to be “good enough”. This comes in handy to remind my perfectionist self that sometimes 1000% isn’t necessary.

I agree, having a good laugh helps out too!

This post can read my mind! While I was reading the first thing that cross my thoughts was the statement I try to repeat myself when I’m in a very bad “everything I do is useless” mood. that’s it “everyone has its own time to reach its objectives. you’ve got yours so there is no BEING LATE. recently I’ve found out that I can relax myself and clear my mind while I make order of my house..but it works for me probably only because I’m a little ossessive-compulsive;)
another thing in which I believe is “every now and then try to do something from your TO DO list, even if it seems very stupid” (for exemple leave a comment in one of your favourite blogs;))
great job by the way I love your blog!

i try to do something constructive that relates to it, even if it doesn’t fix it. work was really frustrating me the other day, so i updated my resume. just filling in my current job and responsibilities made me feel better, like i could find work elsewhere if i wanted to.

it might sound silly, but i’ve been looking more and more to the food i eat. eating lots of leafy greens, whole grains, and *nourishing* foods (as opposed to processed and junk foods) really helps to calm and relax you. if you put in good things, you get out good things, too. it’s not a cure-all, but it’s a start!

Ohh, it depends for me. It all depends on why I’m stressed.

Sometimes I work best under stress if say I’m designing.

But life’s personal stresses either see me running to find a rock to hide under and just “be” for as long as needed.

And like Jaime said, sometimes you just need a good old cry.

Sometimes, the best feeling for me is a good cry. A REALLY good cry.

Granted, you can’t do that in public, so I sometimes just put on some loud music and dance it out.

But really… the crying helps.
