My mom has a garden. I like working alone. I do not know how to reduce my stress. I have trouble trusting people. I try to make myself feel better by reading self help books.
My favourite thing to do is gardening. My garden has carrots. I am retired. I live in the countryside. I know of a book called Freak Factor by David.
I think the Freak Factor book has helped me manage my stress better. That's good to hear, what's the book about? It's about building coping skills to replace stressful thoughts with calming thoughts. That sounds really good. I get anxious and stressed a lot so I could really use a book like that. What are some of the coping skills? Meditating and thinking of stressful thoughts like clouds and letting them float by. I thought gardening would be the way you calm yourself down though! Yeah, usually I would garden but lately I can't because the weather has been horrible. I've just been staying in the house all day. Oh no, what about the carrots?! The carrots will be fine, I harvested them all before the bad weather set in. Now I need to figure out what to do with all of them. Maybe I'll make some nice carrot recipes My mom might have some recipes for you. I can ask her to send some along if you want. That would be nice! Does your mom grow carrots in her garden too? I'm sure she has at some point, but I can't remember if she was growing some recently. That's nice, I hope her garden is flourishing. There's actually a great carrot cake recipe I want to try. I can send some over to you guys once I make it
