I can be the greatest stress ball, especially with the chaos from the holiday season.  I've turned to heavy retail (shopping) therapy in the past, but the happiness from the shopping spree lasts until I exit the store.  I've recently really gotten into taking warm salt baths using just generic epsom salt.  It forces me to be in the moment and to just unwind. Also, without the potential chemicals from bubble baths, I'm proud to recycle the salted water into the garden (Geesh, my garden is beginning to sound like a garbage dump for recycled water, but it's true... it's what I do...)  According to the Epsom salt packaging, the salt is good for body sprains, bruises and as a plant food supplement.  (Hooray, so I am not maliciously torturing my plants).

Like all things (good and bad), my kids have taken a strong passion towards baths as well.  However, the baths are just an occasional treat for them (because really our garden doesn't need that much salted water).

Do you have any eco-friendly tips for stress relief?  If so, please share with the rest of us!
