why do i run

running for me gets me out of my head...............when i am having a stressful day i get out and run for at least 30 minutes.....i finish feeling great...........usually i go through a process of remembering where i have come from and where i am at today and today i am happy being me...........i will always have some days where stress will take hold but today i have been given tools to deal with these issues......first and for most i need to tell myself that what ever i am dealing with that i should love myself no matter what............then slowly process what is happening .........the better i process these things the easier it is next time to deal with.....................calling friends talking through it or just relaxing and getting it out of my mind for a while helps......when stress comes for me i know that i need to do something i like , my passion , like running ...........WHAT IS YOUR PASSION AND DO YOU USE YOUR PASSION TO DEAL WITH STRESS?????
