stress free
One of the ways i like to relive stress is on a demanding day is to go out for lunch to have a change of scenary with a fellow co-worker to just laugh or vent about the day so that i can be refreshed and energize for the rest of the day. I dont want my stress or problems to interfere with my ability to teach adults who ultimatly have the same worries that i do with life, bills, daycare and etc.
I try not to let my job stress me. I feel like if your job stresses you your at the wrong job. You must love what you do it makes life easier
I relieve stress by starting everyday off with exercise. I go to the gym for 1 hour before work and it makes me feel really good about myself and more equipped to handle stressful situations. It puts me in a right frame of mind to interact with the students and be more accepting of non-positive behavior.
Gloria, What a great approach. I love this method because it sounds like you are able to start your days off on the right foot. Sometimes instructors find that when their days start off well, they end well too.

An excellent approach, also allows others to vent when necessary
This is a good idea. I go daily to lunch with co-workers and we try our best to not talk about work just to get our mind off things for a while.
