"Stress is not what happens to us. It's our response TO what happens. And RESPONSE is something we can choose." -Maureen Killoran
I relieve stress by writing, coloring, drawing, ect. in my "book." This book was giving to me by my best friend, Katie. Writing in this book is easier then talking to someone. When writing my feelings and worries in my book, I am not being judged. The book does not talk back or give its two sense about my problems or feelings. It remains quiet and I can just write whatever I want. Do not get me wrong, I love talking to my friends and family about my problems but sometimes it is just good to write stuff down and not have any feedback.
Another way I found out I relieve stress is by sports. When I am angry or upset I always put more effort into practice that day. Then when it is time to go home I am in a better mood because I took all my anger out.
I expect that in your chosen profession, you're going to deal with stressed out people all the time, part and parcel of dealing with folks with hurt, broken limbs, and whose spirits are down.
