Day to Day happenings in my life

Calm down.

I find listening to a talk back radio programme de stresses me, or a podcast of a conversation between two interesting people. The sound of people talking calms me down much more than music will. I like to cook and listen, those two things together has a calming effect, plus I end up with meals that I can freeze for later!
Going for a walk with the dog always makes me feel better too. I have found though I no longer get as stressed or worked up about things as used to. Maybe I have learned worrying makes no difference to the outcome.
The way I used to deal with a problem was by writing down my thoughts, using a pen and paper not keyboard. I’d write the pros and cons of a situation, or if I was angry at someone I write them a letter. Rarely did I find the need to actually give it to them. It just made me feel better.
