What Do You Do To Release Some Steam?

It's healthy to let go of unnecessary negative anxiety, or other emotions that can harm our immune system. What do you do that makes you feel better?

Members shared diverse and creative ways they release stress and negative emotions to protect their health, with music and dancing to oldies or disco emerging as popular choices alongside physical activities like working out, motorcycle rides, swimming, hiking, and gardening. Many members described cleaning and organizing their homes as a therapeutic reset that brings mental clarity and comfort, while others found relief through screaming into pillows, prayer and gospel music, cold water plunges, or simply spending time in nature watching birds and squirrels. A recurring theme was the importance of finding personalized coping strategies that work for each individual, whether that means napping to regroup, singing along to favorite divas, or pulling weeds until the yard is spotless.

My forte is singing, or soft music in a quiet surrounding.

@A myHIVteam Member. It's easy for me to find something to do, inside or outside. A nap also works to reset my disposition.🤠❤️

I let out small screams every now and then, LOL. Other than that, I pray, talk to someone, read my Bible or put on a good gospel or dance song. I am a pretty patient person, but we have to try and maintain some control no matter what.
God bless everyone
