sex with someone you love? does it count as a mindful practice?
swimming does help me manage violent emotions, i swim half-conscious, half-meditating, i know it sounds wierd but it is pretty hard to describe.
and yoga, definitely.

i would love to share intimacy with my partner. unfortunately, unresolved and mismanaged issues of conflict are making this action more difficult to share. i am seeking guided advice to bring lightness and understanding into my own heart, and also to remain involved in this companionship.

swimming & yoga are two of my most favourite activities, and i never do them anymore! i really should get more involved in them, it certainly lends itself to a more focused, centered state of being.

(thanks for sharing!)

for me the joga journal site has always been a good online resource of guided advice and inspiration in resolving troblesome issues. no matter what you choose to get involved in, i hope you manage to find balance and lightness. good thoughts your way! xoxo

generally i yell and swear and throw things, which, come to think of it, doesn;t sound liuke managing stress at all.

i agree with the above comment about swimming laps, it helps me manage quite a bit of school stress. & sitting in the hot tub after swimming laps.. but that might just be me.
good luck with your stress; i hope everything works out for you.

I usually like to do some meditation. Generally just to the extent of mindful breathing with my eyes closed rather that doing anything focused. That is very relaxing. Mindful eating, or doing anything mindfully, is good. We do so many things without paying attention to them, day after day. It's especially sad to eat a meal and not really have noticed what you just ate, how it tasted, how it felt in your mouth, how it smelled. I also like taking long walks, or listening to music really loud and dancing around singing.
