Decompress Test What's your strategy for relieving stress? Playing music is a great stress reliever for me. I'm a fiddler, and when I engage in the rhythmic motion of the bow and the harmonic sounds that come from it, I can zone out, distancing myself from realities that add tension to my life. The effect is enhanced when playing with friends. Time seems to stop during those euphoric moments. Don Summers GRIFFIN, GEORGIA I deal with stress in different ways depending on the time of day. If I wake up stressed, I do yoga. If it's during the day, I do an emotional check-in and ask myself, "How am I feeling in this moment?" Whatever comes up, I forgive myself for the judgment and release the sensation with a deep breath. John Wendt LONGMONT, COLORADO I hang upside down on an inversion board for 10 minutes at 180 degrees. It's an amazing stress reliever. If it's been a particularly bad day, I make it 20 minutes. Barb Szatko As a wife and a mother with a full-time career, the best avenue I've found for relieving stress is hiking. At the beginning of the hike, I identify what has me the most stressed. Throughout my trek, I think about the reason for the problem and the different ways I can relieve the situation. By the time I make it to the top of the mountain-which for me is Cowles Mountain in San Diego-I have a solution, my head is clear, and I get to enjoy the beautiful scenery all the way down.
