I loathe ironing. Going into the spare room and seeing the ironing piled up is a cause of stress. :(

It's the same for my mom. She says she likes ironing because it's "mindless" and she can zone out and relax while she does it.

I've found just about any housework will do it because it gives me a sense of accomplishment.

What about confronting the problem that's causing your stress? Has anyone had any luck doing that?

Yes. When I've stressed over financial troubles I've found that actually opening my bills and looking at my bank account helps! :laugh:
Seriously, during the years I was underemployed I was so stressed about finances that I was afraid to look. Finally I did, and even sorting things out and knowing where I stood made me feel better. It didn't really solve the problems, but I think the stress came at least partly from my own awareness that I was avoiding facing them.
