How do you de-stress yourself after a day of hard work?

[Midori]

Aquamarine:

I always tell myself to forget about work stress and issues when I am back at home. But sometimes it's really hard to do so after a bad day and still need to put on a smiling face to my family especially to my child.


Can anyone share some advice here?

For me exercise does helps. I started jogging at least once a week. Don't get me wrong I am not those super fit type. But I started to jog slowly at least 30mins a week, followed by some stretching exercise. After the exercise and shower, it make me fresh and more energy to keep me going for next day at work and with kids too.


Hope this helps.

I de-stress by hugging my wife

my dh did that too.
so i am told to station myself at the the gate to 'receive' him whenever he comes home everyday. :love:
it's no wonder he was always grumpy when i used to be a FTWM cos i came home later than him.

I de-stress by hugging my wife and son; and by playing with my son.

Yes, I do so by hugging my wife and daughter.

there’re many ways of de-stressing, as long as it’s not de-stressing by bashing up the wife and kids can already LOL


hmmm must feel real good to whack someone on the head with a frying pan haha

For sashimi, cannot do that immediately after he steps through the door cos he is all sweaty and grimy. Must wait until he showers first. But then, nowadays, we usually pick up our DD and go home together.

That's why we play games where we can virtually bash someone over the head? :roll:

Might sound weird, I don’t know…


I go for haircuts whenever I feel stressed up.
It usually makes me feel better after all my troubles are cut away.

On days when I do not have hair to cut (too short liao mar), I do something else to my hair.

Have tried numerous attempts to grow long hair, but always fail… sigh…

Getting a good hug or cuddle from DH works for me :hugs: OUr girls have seen this often enough and if they are upset or unhappy, they'd ask outright: \"Mummy / Daddy, can I have a hug please?\"


For me, a warm shower usually puts me in better stead to deal with home stuff

Hey Winth,


I also cut hair to de stress. i fnd that the longer the hair is, the more stress! I tried to keep long hair, but never beyond shoulder.haha.
