      1. Sometimes just needs must. Besides do you ever look at those in traffic around you? They don’t smile. Singing gives you a rush of dopamine, I’d rather be singing, destressing and be happy at the end of it with no voice than sit grumpy in my car lol

  1. Work stresses me out to the point where I want to curl up in a ball and pretend it doesn’t exist. LOL Not really, but my job is stressful. I stay motivated to walk out the door by telling myself that the place would fall apart if I didn’t go.

      1. That’s pretty much it. Plus the fact that I’m in a place where the availability of well-paying jobs in this area that utilize my skill set are few and far between, and I can’t afford to leave without having another job lined up. I’m working on that. The resumes are submitted. Now, I just need to get an interview or two followed by the job offer.

  2. Stress is a motivator for me. It feels exciting to know that I actually have that much to do or to even worry about. On second thought, maybe I am just a productive person with bad habits.

  3. Remembering that stress tends to be transient. It sucks now, but I can go home and put it aside, tomorrow will present a fresh way to address the stress in a more productive way.

  4. Stress = stimulated, tense, edgy, saturated, stultifying. The only cure is long walk, glass of wine or cuppa and sleep. To motivate through stress can be reckless It is a call from the body to the brain saying STOP.

    1. Can stress also be a way our brain signals the body that it doesn’t know how to deal with a certain situation? Or that it doesn’t want to?

      1. Yes, and also that there may be opportunity to change embedded in the stressful situation. We don’t always love the thought of changing! At least, that’s my theory…

  5. I feel stressed when I have too many work tasks looming. I find I am motivated to push on when I accomplish a task, even a small one. So if I am worrying that I haven’t yet updated a spreadsheet (that takes me just a few minutes), I just do it then cross it off the list. Once I get started, the stress tends to dissipate, at least for a while.

  6. Try to breathe (when I remember it ahah)… and think that nothing is permanent, so quoting Thomas above “Remembering that stress tends to be transient. It sucks now, but I can go home and put it aside, tomorrow will present a fresh way to address the stress in a more productive way.”

  7. The key is not putting myself in situations to get stressed out. However, should it occur I try to handle it as any other thing I face, which is with lots of self-acceptance and baby steps, walking one step at a time.

  8. I am writing about the thing… Because, it’s helps me a lot..and second thing I like to stay alone and peace for sometimes…😶😶😶😶😶😶😶😶😶😌😌😌😌😌😌😌😌😌😌😌😌😌😌🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😬😬😬😬😬🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉

  9. I love singing, so I usually sing to destress
