My eating habits (plant-based diet), exercise, prayer, and mediation keep from from being too grounded in worldly things, which reduces and eradicates my stress.Aqiyl Aniyshttp://www.naturallifeenergy.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-76704259298517949412014-10-11T13:27:20.160-04:002014-10-11T13:27:20.160-04:00Super stressed here too so great advice as always!...Super stressed here too so great advice as always!!!

Because - for me - admitting this actually helps me deal BETTER with stress. huh?... <br /><br />Blowing up any expectations (mostly foisted off on us/me by The Rest of the World) seems to be really helpful to me just being my wonderful, little, conflicted, flawed self and just get on with things. I don't fret if I have to cry, have a little outburst, get flustered, forget something - whatever... It just comes with the rough territory at the time.<br /><br />That said - it's also not so healthy to get stuck in being 'dramatic'. So, I'm going to liberally steal the tips you list here, Crabby! <br /><br />Plus - I plan on remembering that whenever I get to witness someone else not being all stoic and "I'm fine! Really!", it gives me and everyone else a big, fat permission slip to be human. I just need to have a moment before I get virtuous in terms of better behaviors :) <br /><br />Anyhow- your blogging about all of this is really more helpful to all the rest of us than you know :).<br /><br />So - I'm going to liberally steal from the tips you list here, Crabby :) Brava!<br />Janonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-60654958242511082602014-10-07T15:23:53.255-04:002014-10-07T15:23:53.255-04:00Oh crap, I see my comment got eaten!

I find recognizing I have a problem is half the battle!! After that I just try to steer myself away from the crisis lane on the highway.

Dark humour is a great way to cope although it's good to pick your audience for it lest you get more apology practice than you need. <br />It sounds like you're doing reasonably well with this current nonsense. Taking a step away and seeing how well you are doing is a great way to cope.<br />Leah J.

Exercise (mostly walking), yoga (which is where most of my meditation occurs), reading old favorites (like DRG), weird and dark humor, oh, yes, indeed. All things I do anyway, but stress calls for more. I used to sleep more to cope with stress, too, but nowadays I can't get enough sleep for normal times (aargh!)<br />Stress management techniques are a buffet, you know, not a seven course dinner. You don't have to do them ALL. Unless you want to stress over that as displacement. :)<br /><br />Take care of yourself,<br />Mary Anne in Kentuckysolarityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03606487180967915130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-36554650399201617932014-10-06T14:46:46.315-04:002014-10-06T14:46:46.315-04:00I hope that you keep hanging in there and don'...I hope that you keep hanging in there and don't let yourself get too stressed!!

You're aware of the Kicking Ass list and the Blowing Off list, and that puts you miles ahead. Just remember that dark and weird humor is totally okay, especially when it runs in the family. Hubs and I are fairly certain we'd be arrested for terminally offensive humor if anyone ever bothered to bug our house. :-P Keeping your sense of humor is good for the soul.<br /><br />Also, thanks for the comment today!

I could relate to each and every one of these points.. good and not so good. The one thing you do need to hang onto is that you will get through it. One foot in front of the other, Crabby. That.. I know you're good at. <br /><br />And keep that sense of humour which is so intrinsically a part of you.. it helps not only yourself but those around you who are also struggling.

I have never been very good at all the Oooooom stuff, either, but I think it can take a lot of forms. Sleep, though - you have to add that to the take-care-of-you so you can take-care-of-others list. I guess maybe the meditative practice might help there- help stop those worried thoughts from racing through the tired mind. <br /><br />On another note entirely, I sure wish my comfort routines picture would look like yours! Mine would be sort of full of chocolate chip cookies and ice cream and really light books (no, no, not those - more like PG Wodehouse, read for the fourth time). <br /><br />Hang in there - my thoughts are with you.Death Ride Grandmanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-91661488557952834332014-10-06T12:12:36.135-04:002014-10-06T12:12:36.135-04:00Hang in there!

Seriously, not good at that. <br />But like you, activity during times of stress keeps me from blowing a fuse.<br />Keep taking care of yourself!
