Join Thursday Thirteen here!

This is a day late but I hope it’s okay.

Thirteen Ways to Relieve Stress:

1. Find a quiet place in the room and light a scented candle. Enjoy the peace and calmness around you.

2. Put a bird feeder outside your window. Relish in watching birds come by.

3. Listen to a favorite CD.

4. Go to the amusement park with family or friends. Have fun on the rides.

5. Invite a close friend over for lunch or dinner. Have a nice time chatting and catching up with each other’s lives.

6. Buy a new book or borrow a nice one from the library.

7. Get a house plant and pamper it.

8. Go shopping and buy something nice that you’ve always wanted.

9. Have a delicious dessert. Enjoy every spoonful.

10. Attend mass. Praying is always a powerful way of releasing the heavy feeling inside.

11. Go to the spa and give yourself some much deserved pampering.

12. Go for a nice walk and bring your camera with you. Taking photos can be great stress reliever.

13. Hug someone you love.

    We used to have one outside but it got broken. I don’t have one outside the window right now but I think it would be nice.

    I used to buy books almost weekly when I was in college but now I don’t get to buy books that often.

  9. Definitely a good list. :)

    I also pet my cats and go for motorcycle rides.

    It’s great that you show affection to your cats. Motorcycle rides give a natural sense of high.
