This is a totally awesome post. My partner and I do all of the things you listed as stress-relievers. I also find that regular exercise makes me far more mellow in general as well as making me slower to get angry. Thank you for posting this. It was a valuable reminder for me.

5 things I learned that help: 1. Emotional intelligence - I like the idea of improving emotional intelligence. 2. One of my martial arts instructors once said, "don't let other people push your buttons." I think back to that now and then. 3. I remember Covey's point about controlling your choices during the gap between the stimulus and the response. 4. "Master My Stories" - it's a pattern I learned from Crucial Conversations, and it's about telling yourself better stories to improve how you think and feel. 5. Raise your frustration tolerance - This is the most important lesson I learned. Once I found out that a low-frustration tolerance was the single biggest factor for unhappiness, I raised my bar. It was an immediate "ah ha" and immediate effect. J.D.Meiers last blog post..Lessons Learned from Peaceful Warrior

Sara Like you, I find that making myself sick of my own complaining does the trick. That and a glass of wine... kathys last blog post..Why I Work Standing Up

So I've been stressed out a lot lately (work and studying to do). Have I been angry? Nah, not so much. But today, as I stood in line to buy a totally hot cup o' coffee, some dude totally bumped into me and made me burn my hand. It was then that I felt REALLY angry and almost punched him in the face! (Ok, I wouldn't have really punched him in the face. But I did get pretty upset. Mostly because it hurt like hell). Ricardo Buenos last blog post..Yup...I'm Addicted to Social Media! You?
