When I'm overwhelmed with stress, I get me a warm aroma bath brewing. I set up my soft music, and scented candles. Sometimes when I need a little extra soothing I have me a glass or two of some sweet wine and I just sink down in my bath and release all the stress. Oooh!, Just thinking about it brings comfort.


Ahhhh... this sounds truly exquisite :x:

Much Thanks,
Akilah :)

I work out. People who know me best say, "go for a run and call me when you're done" when I'm freakin out. Weight lifting is good too. If I didn't release the energy like that, I'd go nuts. :)

Now that is truly a healthsome outlet for stress...
Thanks for your input gempis :D

Much Peace,
Akilah :spinstar:
 
sister Akilah,
i personally think its wonderful and insightful for you to start a thread on stress. i just arrived in this community and find it a wonderful place. it just so happens that i, like you, consider myself a healer and want to make a difference in the world. so i have dedicated my life to the eradication of stress. stress in arguably the number one killer of black people in america. heart disease is actually the number one killer, the number one cause of heart disease is stress. so to that end i am a certified stress management therapist and i use the medium of poetry to relieve stress. check out www.slamyourstress.com and i leave you with a little poem and hope to hear from you. its called
Stress Test

Stress Test

This morning a siren woke me
And it caused my head to ache
Its long wailing cries,
yanked the sleep from my eyes
Which one of these pills should I take

I turn on the news while preparing
To drive to this job that I hate
But its so depressing
I can’t help from stressing
Plus I’m already one hour late

Next, my car, when I started it coughed,
Then it trembled as if it were ill
And I knew that this day
would be hell to pay
I just hope I took the right pill

Now the lady ahead has her neck craned
Cause her make-up’s not layered quite right
While her mirrors abused
I’m all confused
Cause the driver behind wants to fight

Then the beltway it got me all nervous
Just trying to get off the on ramp
Cause want-a-be Andretti
and could-a-been Kyle Petty
Say the speed limit must be revamped

I spend the next hour and one half
Midst fools playing car lane hop-scotch
Between truck horns blaring
and maniacs swearing
My stress has been turned up a notch

I say prayers as step from my car
Asking heaven to help with this mess
Dear God I pray
help me get through this day
Lord help me pass this stress test

Help me pass just one more stress test
