Exercise

If it is at all possible do more than walk.Try to use a rowing machine.All of the muscles and joints in your body are utilized and the stress is completly under your control from easy motion to aerobic.

Nature, biographies of truly tough people....

These things work for me:

1. Be in nature as much as possible; nature transcends temporary problems.

2. Read biographies about people who survived truly tough times, like Nazi prison camps...

3. and every time I think this world sucks as bad as it can get, remember the Dark Ages and be glad I wasn't born in them! :0

A good weekend

Watching College football all day Saturday is a good way to not think about the economy. Cheap too

Exercise, I agree.

One of the best ways I relax is by working out. A little light weight training or aerobics will release those endorphins and make you feel better, even if it's just for a little while. Plus, it's a lot healthier than my other coping method: eating away the pain!

Walk. A lot. Exercise will help you manage the internal stress. Try also to avoid blaming yourself with too much what if stuff.

I'M LONGING for the day I can pickup a magazine, read a page, turn a page and read two pages, turn a page and read two pages, and on and on, rather than read, a page, turn a page, read a page, turn a page. Good heavens, it's almost like those Sat. collections of ads from just about every store or business in the country. More ads than news articles. Outrageous !
