What's Good For Coping With Stress?
Effective ways of coping with stress is important in a trucker's life. It doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg for therapy or high price prescriptions. Get away for a week or a weekend. Just you and Father Time and perhaps a camera or video recorder. No log books allow! If you can't get away, a perfect way of coping with stress is simply making a conscious effort to slow down and pay attention to the small things around you at another level. In particular the beauty of things in nature. Don't take for granted the power in actually watching ducks swim or squirrels play, or the birds fly. Even laying back at the edge of the shade under a tree while watching the clouds float across the sky can be incredibly relaxing. All available at your local park. If you are a trucker there are even some nice rest areas you will come across that is set up like a park. We seldom take a break from our face paced lives to does these simple things. Maybe its time to take a break.
