How do You Deal With Stress?

[SeraphiM]

Easy question, what do you do to cope with stress in your life? (stress not anger)


As for me I like to take a walk outside, or sit back in my recliner and watch T.V. (requiring no thought process)

Well usually my stress is dealt through anger. Anger vented towards a group of old junkers we keep outside the yard to bang on after a rough day. In 3 years we have probably destroyed at least a 100 junkers.

But the peaceful way, is when I just go out on my quad. Just me, the quad and the open desert.

Listen to my records/CDs....usually classical

Probably not the best way, but usually I down a six-pack of beer or something like that.

 

[Rastagir]

I don't. My life is a string of deadlines, dead-ends, and being Obsessive-compulsive doesn't help things much. I can't remember the last time I have felt relaxed or peaceful. So I smoke insessantly, drink more coffee than water, and going through life like a spring that was been winded too much

MURDER PEOPLE!!!!!!!

kidding, listen to music usually does the trick

I breathe deeply, think things through, clear my mind, and then maybe take a nap. If I don't have time I just take it until later on when I can reflect on it better. Sometimes stress can be good though in certain situations. You just need to control your reactions to it and help it improve you.

Sex, working out(weight-lifting, cardio) and time spent beating my heavy bag.

I go for a walk or make a joke out of it to see the lighter side of the situation...listen to music...sing my favorite song in my head...work out is always a good way to get rid of stress

You Might think this is strange but i go to work to deal with my stress.

 

[SeraphiM]

Probably not the best way, but usually I down a six-pack of beer or something like that.

I've been there a couple of times myself.
I found that as long as I don't try and drown my stress, it usually works :beer:

Vodka and weed or motorcycles, but the one never meets the other two.

Music when I'm not at work. At work I've learned to just tune everyone out and ignore them, apathy is a great stress relief. Thats the great thing about the Army you can say 'Hooah' for everything pretty much whether you even heard a thing they just said or if you just want them to get out of your face.

 

[AndyHunter]

A quick wank, then a shower usually dos the trick! :1orglaugh

 

[nothingandless]

i just sit down, look forward and say, "fuck it." get a breathing pattern going and forget about it. i don't really ever stress out though, im pretty calm or laid-back, however you want to say it. plus i drink a lot.

Since 2002 I have been on medication for my stress but I also have counceling, the 12 step program, walking, bicycle riding plus I smoke alot.

the way to go

I don't feel really stressed but smoking some weed / having sex turn me more quiet
music can be helpful if that's the music I like

 

[bravado]

Playing drums for a couple hours gets a lot of anger out for sure!!!:glugglug:

In the past I would have to smoke pounds of weed to relieve the stress. Now that I've quit smoking pot, I've been looking for an alternative....
