I like exercising right after work. It's a great way to transition from using my brain all day. It gives me chance to focus on my body and the present moment, as well as let out whatever is pent up inside.

I listen to loud music on the way home lol. Also in therapy. I think therapy is good for most people, especially those of us who have stressful jobs.

Music is a great one. And I don't disagree with therapy

Hmm, that's a tough one. I feel like many times I need to process and decompress things at home so I don't blow up at work. However, I know my husband doesn't want to just hear me unload on him every day. Running has been a good source some stress for me.

Exercise is definitely a good way - sometimes I find myself thinking about work in the middle of a spin class and I have to shake my head lol

Exercise and CBD for me.

Too much or too much thc? Everyone needs different things! Some folks can’t have any thc, either for work reasons or because they’re sensitive to it. You can get thc free CBD too.

I take my dog for a walk - usually about 2.5 miles - when I get home from work. He stops and sniffs often enough that it takes about an hour. I just listen to music, a podcast, or audio book during that time.
By the time I'm home from that, I've forgotten about work.

I know I will get hated by saying this. Do you think gay pride events are portraying a bad image about our community to public?

I wish the pride where everybody can connect in a more friendly way (outdoor game- team work, dance, drink something not too sexual.) there are some good parts of pride tho. Any opinions?

Curious to know how much your student loans were when you graduated from your program, how much you’ve paid off so far, and your age. If you have any varying factors too, like kids, income range, etc. Just trying to see if I’m on track or slacking in life. I am 34 yo, i graduated with 95k in student loans, i currently have 85k left and i make 85k in come. I’m also a single mom with two kids. Just praying for 100% student loans forgiveness.
