A New Way to Handle Stress

I'm having trouble thinking of something that sparked my creativity or helped me solve a problem this week. My week was a blur of back to back exams, which definitely didn't get my creative juices flowing. Now that I think about it, I did try something new this week though that I think could be a potential way to handle stress for me in the future. Friday afternoon I joined my mother-in-law in a kickboxing class. I was hesitant at first because the only other kickboxing class I've ever been to turned out to be more of a dance class, which isn't really my thing. However, the class we attended Friday evening was a blast. After a stressful week, punching the crap out of some poor boxing bag felt amazing. Every jab and hook made me feel better and I got a pretty good work out at the same time. I think I might look into another class like that during the school week as a way to take a break and unwind.
