@August Thanks for stopping by! I will definitely check out National Roast Day because 1) I love coffee and 2) I love reading. Great combination.

I'm also interested to hear more, you thought that writing a book helped to reduce stress? Enlighten me. I think that parts of it really would be relaxing, but the other aspects (deadline, pressure, writers block) wouldn't. What do you think?

Grace, eglue tipped me off to your musings. Looks interesting. Btw, I wrote a book if you're looking for a funny read about coffee: http://www.nationaldarkroastday.com. I agree reading a book reduces the stress…as does writing one.

@Dollface Agreed. I like to hear that others feel the same way. It invokes serenity and nostalgia for me.

I feel the same way about Kindle…there is just no substitute for the feel of a book in your hands.

@Sam I now make sure to read each night before bed. The last thing my eyes see isn't a computer, but rather the words and pages of a book. Really helps to settle me down.

@Carlos That list is great! Videogaming calms you down? I usually get riled up from the excitement of anything competitive like a game I really like listening to slow blues and/or jazz. Music is a great way to release stress. I also like to take walks alone and be in nature. Thanks for sharing.

Turn the lights off and listen (JUST listen) to some slow blues.
Reading of course.
Take a nap.
Videogaming with friends.
And laugh, laugh, luagh.

So, there's nothing as relaxing as a funny book right?
