- Connect with old friends: catching up on gossip, going to the local coffee shop, or bar-b-queing can provide hours of comfort from your old friend/s
- Writing: Putting your thoughts on paper is a great way to release them and break the tension in your mind.
- House work: whether redecorating, remodeling or that simple project thats been nagging at you, being creative is a great way to reduce stress
