Music. Music is awesome for relieving stress. Listening to it or playing it is the best way to work off anything on my mind.
Also of interest, if I'm horny and I go on IIN, I'm not horny any more, more a bizarre state of anti-horny. This just seemed relevant, so I though people should know.
Watch comedy, listen to music, drink, play computer games, play with the neighbour's cat (not a euphemism).
i walk up the track or run if i feel like it, there's a little creek with ducks and frogs nearby and bush all around, its soothing
We need the option of check boxes for something like this.
cos some of us may do more than one thing ... ;)
What is this shit? Not one mention of glorious alcohol. Humph. You alcoholics depress me.
I beat up oaps and small children, great stress release and if im lucky i can get quite a bit of pension money/lunch money in the process.
Sit in a dark room with a wet cloth over my face, willing it to go away.
I find it very hard to relax any time and I find it difficult to find ways of de-stressing. If something is bothering me it just won't go away...and that's that.
Listen to music. Sometimes I meditate, but if I'm too stressed, I can't concentrate, so music is best for me.
usually go for a run with loud music or play some kind of battle-like video game
Different things call for different methods.
Everyday stress: Pace around the house, think
Medium stress: Talk to a friend
High stress: Nothing really. Just bite the bullet and face it.
Snuggle into my comfy bed with all of my pets curled up beside me.
Help others with their problems on IIN.
Smoke a joint, then go for a walk.
Hugs help too.
I start yelling SERENITY NOW!
Well, not really. Usually I just lie down and listen to something relaxing like Air Supply.
Smoke a cigarette, ask myself 'can I do anything about this'-if I can't, then recognizing that fact calms me down pretty well, and if I can do something about it I confront whatever or whoever is stressing me out head on.
My cat knows when I am stressed and sits on me for cuddles. Sometimes I exercise if my stress is mixed with anger. Usually I just breath and meditate to calm myself.
