7. Nope.
Music
Calm personal outlook

That kind of thing :D

Of course, the music I'm listening to at the moment would likely stress out many:

8. I'm generally not
Although my day job is pretty high stress, I do meditation (15-30 minutes when I get up and go to sleep), Curling (the sport), and radio DXing (listening to far-off stations w/ my radio collection) to take 99 percent of it away. Good lord, I sound so boring! :D

Good luck :hug:

9. not stressed but i live by a rule my grandfather told me applicable only to males
if it cant kill you or get you pregnant then dont worry about it, took me 20 years to finally understand it, but once you accept it life is pretty much easy...

Not giving a damn about anything is a good first step.

13. not stressed.
occasional stress because of kids or deadlines, but its temporary.
I've tried, somewhat successfully, to sit back and think how stress helps anything, what does it solve?
How does my stress ensure my or my family's survival?
make the world better?
what will happen if I don't stress? Will things be worse, or better?

worked for me.
