Remember: 'stressed' spelled backwards is 'desserts'.

The following are some stress relief ideas collected from various individuals. You must realize that these are their 'personal' suggestions and may not be for everyone. But... some are fun!

• Go to your local gym for exercise

……… or walking to your local pub could also be considered exercise ... (submitted by d.c., Renfrew, ON)

• Computer Games

……… Every day I start the day by playing Mahjong - I find it relaxing, fun and gets my brain working. After about an hour, I'm ready to start my 'work day'. (submitted by m.b., Toronto, ON)

.......... I also play computer games for relaxation. I have to concentrate on the game and it helps me forget about what is causing me stress. I found a great place for games (www.pogo.com) and I try different games depending on how I feel. (submitted by a.c., Peterborough, ON)

They say 'chocolate is good to relieve stress ……… however, I am told for it to work, you must eat the chocolate facing East.... well.... that's what they told me!!!! (submitted by j.m.. Windsor, ON)

Well... I try to do one if not all these at least once a week to reduce my stress levels - besides the usual walking, I target shoot, Japanese Swords and Tai-Chi - ya... that'll do it. (submitted by d.b., Gilmour, ON)
