People handle stress different ways and depends what the stress is about. When I lost my job last year, I remember being bummed out and came home took a warm bath with candles lites knowing it was not the end of world.
When I had a really hard day work back in 1999 to 2002 I did kickboxing miss it very much. The little hole in the gym shut down my kickboxing days were over.
I go to the gym to workout and feel better afterward.
When someone makes me sad or bad day I turn to Lucky dog. He's my shoulder to cry on. He's always comforting, someone to lick the tears away. He knows how to cheer me up, very smart yellow lab.
