how do you get rid of stress?

[chicken]

january is real bitch. why? well, because i have to be on university from dawn till dusk

that not beeing enough, i also have to prepare a term paper until next week, which is also a bitch.

so i was really stressed and unmotivated last week. and on top of all, i got sick at friday night too, so my weekend was fucked. 't was not the greatest week ive ever had =/

anyway, the local aikido union changed their training dates and thus im now able to attend twice a week (and not only once, since the last 2,5 years). and this REALLY changes a lot. i just came home from a lesson and geeeez, im feeling so balanced right now my motivation rises and overall im feeling much more happier.

it actually isnt anything new to me that after sport and/or meditation you feel better and stress crumbles off you but this time, the feeling was way more intense than ever.

so to get to the point: what do you do if you feel overworked or stressed?

I only feel stressed if there is something I have to do in an relatively unknown time range, like learning just sitting down, do/thinking nothing and smoking a cigarette often helps.

bad for your health, mister. very very bad.

but for relieving stress, i play a nice video game or read a good manga (that's not typically all cliche and gooey and crap) or a book.. or kick a wall... run into the fridge... listen to music... take a nap...eat...

various things. hope things work out for ya

It depends on the stress that is hitting me. If it's work related stress, usually sleeping some of it off and drinking my one beer for the month helps. However, if it's other things, or work is really hitting me in a bad way, or it's person-related, I'll either pop in a Katamari game (it's super cathartic, surprisingly) or play a violent game like Prototype. It depends on the stress, really.

surfing is the ultimate stress reliever. if theres a beach near u hit it up. even just body surfing is good

finding a game to immerse myself in usually drives out the worries of the world, at least for a time. otherwise, a quiet evening with friends does the trick quite nicely.

Well I'm fond of just laying in bed, listening to music or an audiobook. Stress just melts away.

Of course, my friend would say a healthy dose of vitamin M.

take something with loosely attached wheels and slide down a mountain? that could be fun... youd probably shit yourself if you go too high though

also, attending girlfriend. problem: stress hits stamina, girlfriend produces even more stress

...to be really TMI for a moment, sex or fapping just releases any stress or bad feelings. It releases a chemical in the brain that releases stress. It's why sex makes headaches go away.

Well, not so much that as the fact that naked bosoms just make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
