How do you manage stress during the recession?

There are corporate giants closing their doors or worse, putting the breaks on how they performed business globally due do this economy which means many things many things that business owners once took for granted they need to now look at and second guess. For example, GM (General Motors) has now been reconstructed and is now owned by you and I or as many say the government by 60% at least. There have been many changes made to that corporation as they filed for bankruptcy protection. But to persons who work to make ends meet, someone who was making $70 an hour to put a bolt in a car is no longer. That $70 job is now $22 an hour and the unions have no choice in the matter but to accept the negotiation. The job hasn’t been removed but the figure has been lowered by quite a bit so it is more affordable for GM to begin anew.

Small businesses on the other hand have their own stresses to manage and maintain as many are need to close their doors all across America. Unfortunately, small business owners are not getting the same benefit as GM with a stimulus package so it does become very stressful. Something that also has been an issue is employment as many are loosing there jobs or unable to find any because no one is hiring at this time so how do you manage your stress level? Many have different ways of doing it as some like to walk, some like to run, some people like to read, some like to play with their children while others prefer to garden and do crafting.
