Answer 20

Unfortunately, I haven't yet found an efficient coping mechanism, i just get on with it!!

Life is stressful and I can't change that!

Answer 21

Chill out with my boyfriend after work and talking to him about it. Better to get the bad stuff out before it gets bottled up.

Answer 22

By minimising stress where possible - saying 'no' was a good answer above as was 'organising' - I prepare my clothes for the next day rather than leave it for the morning for example. I also try to reduce clutter as it can really mess you around if you can't find stuff.

Also, by balancing it out with exercise, getting out and having fun, talking to friends, quiet time/meditation, massage, reflexology and regular pampering at the beauticians. I used to live a very stressful life, but I've made a lot of changes to reduce stress.

edit- Lucky you Woody. That is a rare talent and yes, humour helps too!

Answer 23

Meditation darlin'
