Stress Relief Games

Did you quit a high-stress “career” job to opt for a more laid-back lifestyle?
I quit a teaching job four years ago. Even with all the vacation time, teaching is a very stressful career. Since I left it, I am thankful every day that I was able to escape the stress. At one point an “opportunity” came up and I took a contract again. The deadlines, nonsense paperwork and hypocrisy made me feel like so dead and miserable. It was a great relief when it ended. How do people do this? Now I’m getting by doing low-pay work, hard work, but somehow I am more able to enjoy life. Being single and having no dependents makes it possible... probably a lot of people would “drop out” if they could. Being poor sucks, but I think I’d rather be dead than have to play those games every day. Do you have a similar story? Are there many of us? Can you recommend any books for people like us? Please, no sarcastic responses. Looking for sincere communication.
I too quit a high stress career job for one that does not pay much. It does allow me to use my creative side. There is a book that I thought of as I was making the decision to do this two years ago. It is something like, "Do What You Love, And The Money Will Follow". I read it in the 80's or 90's and that title kept coming to mind as I was trying to make my decision. I am still waiting for the money to follow and we are just barely getting by but I just don't even want to think about what life would be like if I had not made the switch. Besides, I can always decide to do something totally different then what I am doing now. You never know how one thing can lead to another. Also, I am a firm believer in the idea that there are no wrong decisions in life. We carefully consider our options, make a decision, and then make that decision the right one.
