How do you cope after having a bad day at work? (company, department)

[otterhere]

I binge-watch TV and eat junk food... It could be worse: alcohol or drugs!

While at work, when I take my break, I stroll around the city and greet people. Buy food for someone who needs it. Offer directions to someone who may be lost. When I'm back at work, I ask a co-worker if they need help with anything. Assisting others helps me focus less on my perceived problems. Reminds me that there is a whole other world.

I wallow while watching TV.

What do you do?

I'm retired, now. But I had a high stress job and had some bad days. If they were really bad, I might cry a bit & feel sorry for myself...get it out of the system.

I would do some easy aerobics or something...I had a lot of exercise DVDs.

I would eat something healthy at home...stir fry, maybe.

I had a jacuzzi years ago...that was super relaxing.

Hug my pets. Pets are the best for bad days. If it wasn't dark, I might walk the dogs. That's relaxing to me, if it's not too hot.

Eat, drink and be merry. Which usually corresponds to "eat, drink and watch tv" or maybe surf the net, and write in forums or such.

When i was working retired now Jack Daniels and coke usually did the trick.

Not saying there is anything wrong with having an alcoholic beverage after a long hard day, but to see how many people turn to booze as a form of relaxation after a hard days work is a bit sad.
