otherwise SRS, I read an old favourite 'comfort' book...or potter in the garden...or do a look up ( which doesn't de-stress exactly it just changes the emphasis lol)

Thanks everyone :) All of them are great at helping me unwind/relaxing me. Apart from farm world which I'm sure would help if I were on face book. My real tomato plants help, so can you imagine the therapeutic value of a whole farm? lol

Sometimes kitty therapy helps...not you Kitty lol. sometimes it's nice to spend some quality time with my cat :) It helps me unwind if I'm very stressed.

Dear Secret Agent Squirrel

Hello,

I do one of two things.

I shut the bathroom door and soak my feet in epsom salts and relax.
I feel refreshed after this.

Or I clean a floor!

Best wishes to all

I rarely get very stressed but if I do I play with my card making or scrap booking, maybe read a book or if the weather is fine I walk round the garden and look at my plants. Sometimes maybe take a nice bath.

I notice nobody has said they listen to music!
