For fun and exciting stress releif I found that something as simple as the Wii Fit is a good stress releiver
Music is a great way to relax and recharge. I think it's great that you're using your long commute to your advantage Willis.
Something as simple as walking with the dog and listening to music makes a huge difference. I live about 25 miles from where I work. I avoid the high speed freeways and take a less direct but mellower route home, with music playing the entire way.
Great stess reliever, enjoy it by yourself or with others, mild physical activity or more aggressive helps the body to relax and your mind to unwind. I like walks with my daughter, physical excercize and sharing with her are great!
Do try it Sheri! It's so much fun in addition to being a great stress reduction tool.
Sounds like a great stress reliever, I may invest in a Wii Fit to eliminate stress that I've encumbered since teach online. Great idea!!
Reading can be a great escape Stephanie! I'm glad you find the time for a little you time.
Ms. Gordon,
It is great to have an activity that reduces one's stress. I am a big fan of jazz. I find that listening to jazz relaxes me and I am able to cope better. I have also instituted the practice of listening jazz while I work in the home office and do things like grade tests a papers.

I dont find a lot of time for myself working full time, teaching part time and finishing a master's degree, all on top of having a family. However, I do make time to read because this is the one activity that I thoroughly enjoy and is all my own. Usually I fit this in at night in a bath or at bedtime whenever everyone else is asleep.
