    Haha, the wax and sniff made me laugh pretty hard!.

    As a college student with 18 credits, a part time job, and volunteering at a hospital, all while being a Resident Assistant...let's just say I have come to conquer stress. The best way to get rid of it for me is definitely driving my camaro, or surfing. Something that gets my mind away from it all and makes the world slow down. Sometimes deadlines are not as important as enjoying life and health.

    Basically, I can't wait for school to be done and summer to come so I can spend some time at home with my car and get crackin at this detailing endeavor =)

    thanks for posting!

    Driving and waxing my car are my two top stress relievers! Nothing else seems to do much when my mind is toiling away. With all the rain we've been having here, I haven't done much of either so I just read DB!

    Detailing my truck or doing any mechanical work really helps my state of mind. I can take my daughter to a field and literally chase her for hours with her screaming- she says under her breath 'I'm happy'! If I can find the time, I also have a KTM that I trail ride... Time off is so rewarding!

    I do a few things that keep me sane ...

    1. Working on vehicles
    2. Detailing
    3. Yard work
    4. Koi pond
    5. Grilling / Cooking in general
    6. Gun Range

    These are the activities I enjoy besides spending time with my family. I usually spend the weekend nights in my garage until really late. I'm usually working on a neighbor's/co-worker's vehicle on the weekends. This is how I make money to buy all my detailing gear and pay for my other hobbies.

    Weight lifting
    Reading


    I really don't get that stressed. I've found that it really doesn't do anything.

    Hell yeah, for me it's definitely mountain biking. Weightlifting is relaxing, never really run down to lift weights if I am stressed or pissed about something.

    I'll do one of these things: workout, work on my cars, clean the house, clean the garage, build something in the garage, listen to music, sing and dance, detail the cars, go for a drive, watch a movie with my wife, eat at a good restaurant, drive up to the wharf (SF), take pictures, watch car videos.
    There is so much you can do to relieve the stress.

    Bottom line - One thing that I remember to work on is to not focus too much on myself and appreciate what I have in my life.
    There is so much to do in life if we just take our eyes off of ourselves. ;)
