I pull weeds. It's very therapeutic taking your frustrations out on weeds! It also makes your garden and flower beds look great............:bigsmile:

    Depends on what kind of stress it is. If I just need to wind down,
    :flowerforyou: I take a few minutes to lay on our porch swing, close my eyes, and relax...
    :flowerforyou: I sit on our sundeck to watch the sunset, the ducks, ospreys, and herons landing behind our house...
    Or, if I'm REALLY mad... :grumble: I clean the house. :laugh: I've always believed in using negative feelings to do something positive. :bigsmile:

    I love to garden too -- nothing like being outside and seeing all my flowers and hearing the birds singing!

    Other things:

    hanging out with my cat or dog
    reading
    listening to some good tunes...
    and I'm addicted to all types of computer games!

    Go on my porch swing and listen/watch the birds.

    or just lay on the bed with the door closed and cry for a while.
