So how do you handle stress?

So how do you handle stress? Below are some ways to help ease the aches & pains (contributed to fibromyalgia which i suffer from, it's not fun at all), I have posted them to remind myself and it got me thinking to just put the question out there to all you bloggers. How do you handle your stress?
We all have it, we all have to handle it, so I just wanted to know what helps you to get through the stressful times.


Stop fighting your pain/stress. As long as you fight it, your pain will control you and the vicious cycle will continue!


Close your eyes and visualize the place that hurts. Mentally send the area your love and sympathy, give it a hug, and let it rest.


Distract yourself...imagine a place with no pain, no problems, no kids yelling or whatever your "stress" may be. Listen to soft, relaxing music and trust it to help you to heal all emotions.


Invest in your stress...what makes it flare up, and try to avoid those situations. Explore what makes it worse, and also what makes it better and then make an attempt to avoid those situations or stimuli.




You have my permission to...Fill your life with people who are kind to you. You may still have to deal with those that are not, but you can do so on a superficial level. You are not required to keep in your life anyone who is toxic to you...in other words don't let them get to you.
