How do you deal with stress ?

[S.H.A.R.P.]

I don't really get stressed a lot. If I do, then I've got some herbal remedy to help me relax. Meditating and good music help too.

 

[Zillar]

Video games, usually. If not, then I would probably just listen to aggressive music, or find some funny video/webcomic.

sex, drawing..and just sitting
those are what help me out the most... though last few years stress has been less and less could be a perception thing though and not so much a things are just better.....

 

[RavingLibDem]

BADLY!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH - *runs in circles tearing hair out...*

apart from that I pocrastinate from any experience that may potentially prove stressful - essay marks have suffered.

 

[Shadow5]

I Procrastinate as if I was in the world procrastination championships and needed a perfect score to win. And the prize was a giant pile of jubes covered in sherbert.

I over-use profanities, listen to metal, do things hard and fast, and burn it off.

 

[ChickDangerous]

I turn Children of Bodom up really loudly and pretend to be Alexi Laiho and get in some vocal practice at the same time. Either that or I pick up whatever is closest and throw it against a wall and swear a lot.

 

[Whoolpurse]

Cigarrettes.

 

[zero_zumi]

I don't.

 

[Gooble]

I rarely get properly stressed, but when I do listening to appropriate music or gaming help a lot.

 

[RAWKSTAR]

Think how dumb the things are I'm getting stressed over are.
Or pop down to my Gym.

.... Or wank.

I brewed for a few hours and THEN shower.

Ill usally go to a bistro near my place and order this one appetizer that has this wine reduction sauce that makes me feel great.

I like to be in my comfort zone, my faux fur sheet helps.

-is a trainee chef- is it a red wine reduction, If so, is it a jus? (if you know..) random question i know but im training x]

But yea, i smoke, allot. i also do various martial arts. play guitar.... gaming... go for a skate?... play football...? anything just to take my mind off whats stressing me out. (already know the damage what bottling up emotions can do, and its seriously not worth it)
Im surprised at the amount of people who have said smoking... thought itll be shit loads more

 

[Zarthek]

violent video games..... enough said

 

[coleer22]

I sing, bake, or write poetry. Sometimes, at least. Usually I just push through it.

 

[Andalusa]

I don't really deal with it, it just builds up.
Then I hit something and it's all gone.

 

[PurpleRain]

Stress slides right off my back.
An animation I recently finished took 230 hours to render. And just like the previous version of it, 5/6ths of it had to be re-rendered because it was rendered in the wrong camera, issuing 160 hours of calculation waste, on the computer's part. THat which issued from me:
"Aw man... oh well. Could be worse." *Delete waste files, Click Render from Camera01*

It's basically like this for me. I don't stress. Don't see the point to it. I don't get worked up about things to come (in a stressful way) and if something terrible happens, there's nothing I can do to fix it, so I keep on going. It's a good state of mind. I see people in school and college freaking the hell out over the test to come. And yet I've done less work on it them they did, and am totally fine, pulling through in the end. Huzzah!

Yeah its a red wine reducation, dont have a clue exactly what it is but I can tell you its red.

Its not really an appetizer, more of a little sampler dish. Its an elk medalion with the reduction on a little bed of mashsweet potatos and collard greens.

Nothing like turning on your iPod and blasting the music up for me.
