"A run!" - Heather
"Bike ride." - Dave
"A walk, for sure." - Ashley
"Knitting a row on one of my simpler projects (I knit a lot, so this is relaxing, rather than stressful new skill acquisition.) -- physical creation, in a simple way. Go for a walk. Make and have a cup of tea." - Sarah
"Bake some bread! It's warm, uses my hands, tastes good, looks pretty, and people like it. Hard to be stressed when you're looking at all that praise on your beautiful creation." - Molly
"I sleep. It helps my brain heal. Or I play. I deliberately and consciously put my worries on the back burner and give myself a chunk of dedicated time off to do something goofy and joyful. Or I sing in the car." - Lucinda
"Workout, and do something for my life in the long-term; pay a debt, work on a project I want to complete." - Marisa
