My colleague gave back some material to be translated from Russian into Hungarian, and I have no choice: in my country we have a holiday on 20th August, however, before the beginning of "long weekend" no one else of our translators accepted my request. I have 6583 words for 3 days, the text is - kind of horror EU regulations ▲ Collapse

| Never go to extremes... | Aug 19, 2007 |
I'm generally stressed but never too stressed, I think I've learned how to avoid extremes, that is giving 100% of my energy. But even when I'm on holidays I get stressed making plans for the future...but I'm never too stressed as a rule.

| Voted 'Other', | Aug 19, 2007 |
because when I am stressed I just stare out of the window into the green distance at the sound of Baroque music for trumpet. Or simply enjoy the pleasant doing nothing which can mean a multitude of things.
Regards,
D.

My preferred supermarket is about a 20 minute walk from home, so I get excercise while stocking up on groceries. The public library is across from the store, so I often stop there first.
Then I come home, put the perishables in the fridge, and settle down for a marathon work session.
| | | | | Sport + nature | Aug 19, 2007 |
When I am extremely stressed, I need to practice a sport such as walking, jogging, or cycling. Exercising is the only thing that takes my stress out. I also need to be in contact with nature in order to be fully relaxed, so I usually go for a walk in a footpath full of trees and lakes. In summer, I can only rest while being outdoor and swimming. Drinking some “mates” while sunbathing is like being in a spa for me. Unluckily, due to global warming and climate change, we have had the longest w...

Unluckily, due to global warming and climate change, we have had the longest winter I remember, so these last options are not possible so far. ▲ Collapse

| Take a walk, definitely | Aug 19, 2007 |
When I am really stressed because of work, I absolutely need to take a walk in order to give my mind a rest. I prefer doing that for at least half a hour than continuing working because I know that the quality of my translations depends on that.
Have a nice day!

I either go to football training if any, watch football, read about football, or do some juggles with a small ball in the living room even though not everyone is the household likes it (I mean my boyfriend).
Nothing better works for me.

...then you simply have to WORK NON-STOP!

I second the smoke more bit, also work non-stop, with short naps/breaks to clear my head and remain efficient. Music works well too.
But really the main thing is making plans of all the lovely things I'm going to do when the work is done,ie. paint, read a book, watch a good movie etc.
All those things I sometimes end up not doing because either a new assignment shows up or I'm too drained to do anything constructive. Paradoxical, but keeps you going somehow!

| Exercise and other things | Aug 20, 2007 |
even just a few minutes of a change of activity does wonders for the mind.
| | | | | Find time to visit my horse | Aug 20, 2007 |
Just being with my horses is totally relaxing and really takes my mind off work. Sometimes I absolutely HAVE to take time out, especially when things are getting really hairy at work. If I can make time I go out for a ride. A nice long canter is a great cure for putting the world to rights
