Members, Thank you for sharing your coping strategies! In Mod's Corner we are beginning a series of posts on the subject so keep checking on Thursday & Sunday for more. We will be talking about how to cope with stress, putting together a stress plan and workplace stress. A few more to try: * Journaling * Listening to your favorite song * Venting to a friend Danielle, Bilingual Health Educator

When I'm stressed it depends on the stress. Sometimes I get on the phone with my ear plug and talk and clean my house. Sometimes I'm in the kitchen cooking. But the best thing for me that keeps stress at bay most times is good old fashioned exercise.

It seems that a lot of us are trying to figure out a good way to cope with stress. So I think everyone should post what they do for stress. Just to give new ideas to those who are trying to cope. I use deep breathing as I walk outside.
