5 more stress relievers

Harmony is trying to do a Dr. Phil on me, but I'm not going there! I know that if I were the real Muse, I'd be getting to the heart of things. But, you know what? I'm not the real Muse! I failed the intimacy challenge! I prefer to continue to work with the stress symptoms.
I found a few other stress relievers:
1) chocolate - the really dark stuff is best.
2) ginseng tea
3) Korean food (particularly the kimchi - ie. fermented cabbage)
4) telling others that you are stressed. They are nicer to you and don't expect things from you.
5) bitch to friends about wankers and injustices.

Stress

I've been stressed lately. I've decided in my usual intimacy-avoiding mode to focus on dealing with the symptoms, not the source(s).
Here are 10 ways I've been dealing with symptoms:
1) drinking lots of wine(this only works while I'm doing it, and may in fact be intensifying the stress).
2) walking (because we can now without freezing off body parts)
3) eating lots of meat (because I think it's good for me).
4) doing some financial planning (I thought it would help, but it's actually added a bit to my stress).
5) wearing pink.
6) reading the latest People from cover-to-cover (I'm not doing so badly compared to Britney).
7) cancelling things.
8) learning Spanish.
9) buying chips from chip-wagons.
10) throwing things in the garbage.
