How do you get away from life's stress/hardships?

[Hayata]

Exercise.

Best thing ever.

Time with family is the best, too.

Plot a course and pursue it.

have you ever thought of doing some volunteer work? there are many others that are unfortunate and you may have the opportunity to share yourself with others. in the long run, it might help you more than them. Give of yourself and I promise it will help make you grow in life.

Did some volunteer work this week at a childen's home with a bunch of coworkers.
Kids who have lost parents or have parents who are unable to care for them due to drug problems, etc.
Really helps put your head into perspective and makes you feel good.
We all came away wanting to do more for those kids.

I buy old broken stuff at yard sales and flea markets on the cheap then when I need down time, I fix them up. Sometimes sell them sometimes give them away. But I always have something on hand that needs a little help.

Have always wanted one

If you're not ready for the highways a dirtbike will serve the same purpose. It gives you a chance to stop focusing on life and start focusing on what's immediately ahead of you.

I do two things that make a tremendous impact on my attitude towards the struggles of life - 1.) I try to live every day with the mindset that things could always be worse...and are for a lot of people. and, 2.) I try to remain thankful for everything that I have and what I have been through...good and bad. In my experience, when I'm focused on others and how to help them, my problems seem to get much smaller...

Good luck brother, stay true, do what's right...even when it's more difficult ~You'll be much happier in the long run.

I've been wanting to do some volunteer work for quite some time and I have struggled taking that first step. I would like to change that. If yourself or anyone has any leads that may be a great candidate for my children and I to get out and do something good it would be greatly appreciated. Please PM me any info, TIA.
