If it is at all possible do more than walk.Try to use a rowing machine.All of the muscles and joints in your body are utilized and the stress is completly under your control from easy motion to aerobic.

These things work for me:
1. Be in nature as much as possible; nature transcends temporary problems.
2. Read biographies about people who survived truly tough times, like Nazi prison camps...
3. and every time I think this world sucks as bad as it can get, remember the Dark Ages and be glad I wasn't born in them! :0

Watching College football all day Saturday is a good way to not think about the economy. Cheap too

One of the best ways I relax is by working out. A little light weight training or aerobics will release those endorphins and make you feel better, even if it's just for a little while. Plus, it's a lot healthier than my other coping method: eating away the pain!

Walk. A lot. Exercise will help you manage the internal stress. Try also to avoid blaming yourself with too much what if stuff.

I'M LONGING for the day I can pickup a magazine, read a page, turn a page and read two pages, turn a page and read two pages, and on and on, rather than read, a page, turn a page, read a page, turn a page. Good heavens, it's almost like those Sat. collections of ads from just about every store or business in the country. More ads than news articles. Outrageous !
