How Do YOU Deal?

Whenever I become really stressed at work I simply walk over to the nearest bookstore (Barnes and Noble) and I notice that my body relaxes a whole lot. I do not know if the sight of books or the smell of them is what helps melt all the unwelcome tension, but it happens. Then when there are tests/exams coming up, I find yoga a helpful way in taking my mind off from them. Oh! And there's also hot chocolate!

Get out and hug a tree to release stree...

For the last while I've been dealing with my stress with large quantities of weed :P

Getting some kava kava soon though, which is a much better way of handling stress since it doesn't impair any cognitive functions. Once exams are over I'm gonna start doing meditation more often so that I can avoid relying on drugs for stress relief. That'd be nice :P

Hmm...lately I am absolutely stuck in the washing machine. I think I'm not being hard enough on myself, just have to try harder to find time and space to do yoga... to have quiet alone time... I guess in the end that might mean hating all day everyday so that I can make some funds up for childcare and maybe a vehicle to get me out of the city... hmmm or I'll suffer...ya, probably that

Hi Tara, I love when you do these types of videos as well as the yoga videos! I find that doing one of your yoga videos helps with stress for me. Also getting outside for a walk in nature is also great (not always warm in winter). I think the walking helps because once again - I'm breathing as I should be and not tensing as a result of holding my breath.

Thanks for all that you do--sharing your yoga and your deep thoughts with us!

Have a great Christmas and all the best in 2011!

can you please stop starting all ur vids with-" Hi guys, just checking in!" does my head in, cheers.

Sometimes it is easier said then done.. But it is worth the effort of committing yourself to do it..

[Samariej]

Relax and breathe into it....I love that!

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu....choking people is very stress relieving:)

I think there's also a 3rd way to handle stress: I think alot of people need to experience the stress, and give themselves a breaks (child's pose or mountain), and then return to it, and they can cope. It's so important to remember we need to take breaks, but be resilient enough to return. :) Love the Deep thoughts with Tara Stiles videos! :) Helps me procrastinate from studying for finals ;)

Great video just did a video to share my tip with you tara and with everyone else.

[starlight739]

I'll listen to an upbeat song on my iPod and dance around. Dorky, I know, but it releases the tension.

Music and yoga are my top go to's when I am stressed. But most of the time I freak out, I will admit. I love everyones tips on how they deal with stress. I'm 23 and I could use some lessons. I need to ride the wave as you say, not get washed up. When I get cought up in it, I feel like I lose myself.

[matrix1951]

Good advice !

[moneyman10k]

I watch youtube videos to distract myself from the hopelessness of existence

"This too shall pass".

Also, baking (the secret ingredient is stress and anger, not love haha), sex, yoga, breathing, watching too many series.

[OhRishtopher]

I find a good way to deal with stress is listening to podcasts of people talking about things that I like. Seriously, hearing other people having a good time really does wonders. Put that on and go about your day and it really makes a difference.

[jessveganmamma]

Thank you so much ... this video was a great help to me <3

I usually go running but when its cold and raining I stay inside. I really need give yoda a chance.

[2guys1diet]

I just realised that I definitely die one day and nothing that I do matters and I dont have to do anything to be better. Now I just chill and enjoy... even when people stress at me I enjoy there stress and smile at them.. which sometimes makes them more stressed but doesn't effect me if anything the more they stress the more I enjoy my not stressing...

[Goldangirl22]

@2guys1diet ....this is very true, thank you for putting things into perspective, this had helped me feel better

[ednbv]

My stress healers are anything in my music collection, turning off the TV, and lots of pet therapy, not sure who gets more therapy there, me or my dog. Your mellow tones help me during the day Tara when I am at work, just watching your videos for a few minutes helps greatly with stress, your reminders to breathe are important to me. Peace and joy to you and everyone at Strala this holiday season!

[eqzespea]

I am afraid of everyone and everything,

yoga and meditation helps. i love you tara, thank you =D

[coolcardboard]

i'm horrible at dealing with stress. i'm a high school student right now and 99% of the time, i'm completely overwhelmed. i really want to try a yoga class, but i never have time, even on weekends. i wish i could be as calm and centered as you.

[tt2ize]

[rlabier]

Thank you, T - I'm going thru a period of heavy stress - from all different angles - and your video was well timed :) Thx!

[forrest2378]

I really wonder why you want to know..."How do YOU deal?"

Are we really going to help one another anyway?

Or just make a little video to entertain ourselves before we go back to our business!

Its all business,its all money,if not directly then indirectly a way to further those two I just mentioned...and NO,I AM NOT A PESSIMIST...just a REALIST LOL

Life is a privilege that too many on this Earth have NOT appreciated.

The Universe knows the Business people from the true believers

JHF-JUST HAVE FUN
