You've just had a really bad day. Everything that went wrong did. You're so stressed out that your jaw hurts from clenching it too much. Everyone around you seems to be some how against you, annoying you, or agrivating you...

So, how do you unwind?

Me? A nice hot bath. Although alot of times I wish I had a body bag to go at.

Ahhhhhhh, it is too obvious what we all actually do. We get on CM and other D/s sites.


I believe thats often the case,  I have a special Friend who's emails and conversations always cheer me up .
  Today i was having a very crappy day and logged onto cm, theres a particular member who pops up on my home screen quite often, His picture always gives me chills ( how shallow of me!!) and i always smile and  say...sometimes aloud..."hellooo Sir Gorgeous!   Instant mood elevators

Status: offline 		How do I unwind?  Hmmm... lately, a good bok, a hot cup of coffee and a hot bath.
When he is around, a nice foot massage or back rub from the boy would help.  However since I really only get to see him on vacations.. a stressful vacation day seems unlikely.
If the day gets REALLY bad... irish cream in aforementioned coffee does a good bit for frazzled nerves.

When I did it was always a bonus when my ex would call and I would have someone to take it out on.  He's always an ass and, thus, an easy target.

Status: offline 		Yoga if I'm stressed / lethargic, kick boxing if I'm feeling vicious...   Both followed by the sauna. 

If I'm home, I'll lock the doors, turn off my phone and all of the lights.  Then I lay on the floor and listen to music in the dark for a few hours - Radiohead, Antony and the Johnsons, Matmos or classsical and opera.  It centres me and helps make me more fit for social consumption.

Forget workng on puzzles, that would make me worse.  A couple of weeks ago I had been insanely busy with uni,  work and other commitments, and hadn't been able to sleep for three days .  Coming home from unit on a bus, I didn't want to close my eyes in case I fell asleep and missed my stop, so I tried to do a sudoku puzzle.  Problem was, my concentration was shot, after crossing out mistakes over and over again, I gave up and nearly burst into tears : )  Not my proudest moment. 

Ooh, the other thing is housework.  Being borderline obsessive re. organisation, I always feel better if Every Single Thing In The House is Exactly where it's supposed to be.

I write down the things that bother me (the time and effort used in writing seems to work for me).


If somewhere else:

Leave and find a quiet place.

I take a walk, write, spend time alone, speak to a friend, or attempt to distract my mind from the unpleasant thoughts until my emotions are more contained. If that isn't possible I may simply cry and release the frustration, then carry on with my day.

I echo all of this.  To add to it, I will write to Master about it, and sometimes I will sit and contemplate what is bothering me and why, so I can put it to rest.

Status: offline 		I rarely have *stress*. I assign inconvience values to things that upset me as they are happening.
That little snob of a wench who wouldn't knw the difference betwen a Lamy and a Waterman in the pen store that acted if I was going to steal everything in site based on my appearance ... that can be settled by a  call / drink/ dinner to/ with the owner of the store.
That jerk that cut me off in traffic ... his testicles just had to be on fire.
My kids not getting into the classes they want ... another simple phone call.
The salesperson who I've explained the problem to twice who still can not understand my simple issue but is more than willing to solve a problem that doesn't exist ... I simply tell them to stop speaking and find me to someone who has actual listening skills.
The truck breaks down on the way to a not to be missed engagement  ... Evidently it was supposed to missed.
 
There are of course things that are true emergencies that can cause stress. Recently my 6 year old was at camp and decided to jump from one top bunk to another, splitting his forehead open in the process. Once I identified the worst part for me was not knowing the severity of said spilt and being right there with him I was able to calm down. He was on the whole just fine, a hero at camp among his peers, cause he didn't even cry once. He did insist on one phone call when he got to the DR's to ask were his brains gonna fall out and if the stitches were going to hurt.
I also have a rule of leaving the hassles of day to day life outside of my door.
 
When I'm having *me time* which is different I can often be found in a bubble bath, or curled up with a new book, sipping vanilla hazelnut tea.
