stress, and how do you deal with it.

I understand that I in general have the wrong way to deal with stress.

so learning from people’s experience what they do, what works best.

Sex!.........j/k :p X2 Bhai

working out on the treadmill is a complete stress reliever for me, i get 1000+ calories off and i get to read fashion/beauty magazines and listen to awesome music while im doing it. It helps me calm down.

if i'm at work, i drink a whole bottle of water and take deep breaths 4 or 5 times during some alone time plus i give myself a pep talk in the mirror of the bathroom and off i go back

stay away from the milk chocolate at all costs.

eagerly waiting for other responses, need new techniques

I watch a movie or some light show. I also light candles (lol, this would probably be too girly for you BUT there is one candle in particular from Bath & Body Works that smells like a minty/fresh men's cologne called "Eucalyptus Spearmint" and just inhaling it deep makes me relax like nothing else I use it while studying too, use the lotion on my hands while writing for the same purpose. You need to smell it to get what I'm talking about).

I also like drinking coffee, something about it calms me down. Working out, like Nisha mentioned, is another.

i take a nap makes me forget the tension for a bit or i clean the house with music playing.

I say "Screw it" to my diet and find something chocolatey, then I watch a movie/show that I like, and it has to be fictional...because when reality sucks, you need an escape, and fantasy movies/books lets you fantasize.

close your eyes for 5 minutes...tell yourself..."i do NOT have control over the situation but i do have control over my mind N soul and i will do whatever it takes to combat the situation and NOT run from it!"** :)**

Re: stress, and how do you deal with it.

I get out of the house for a while. I like going to Barnes and Noble…sit in a comfortable chair…read a book/magazine…maybe get something to eat. Today I was feeling really really stressed…so I got a mani/pedi. Venting to family/friends can also help. Working out can also help…and as you exert yourself…picture bashing the faces in of certain chitheads. :halo:

Have or develop a hobby/passion

Re: stress, and how do you deal with it.

Blog about it. I was once told to write my anger away and burn that paper but I found that e,xtreme so I just blog.

Re: stress, and how do you deal with it.

It really depends on what I am stressed out about and the emotions I am feeling.

If I am mad...I workout as it helps me get my frustration out.

If I am sad, I watch a funny movie or read something that will get me back into the right mood.

If I am tired and overworked, I take a break. I get all of my favorite things together and spend a quiet evening at home watching a good movie or two.

Sleep also helps.

Gym. Running & doing weights. Yoga class. And if I'm extra stressed....I ask my trainer to do kick boxing with me (this works every single time!).

Since this thread is in Fashion and Beauty...I'd say by putting on make-up. LOL

Re: stress, and how do you deal with it.

It depends on degree of stress . I sit down and analyze the situation on paper with what is happening and what is at stake and what I can do to combat the situation who can help me , how they can help me etc then I follow one plan if it does not work I go to the second plan.
Once I had such a stressful situation that I had to go to my doctor who gave me some medication to calm my nerves down . It helped a bit.

I normally hit the gym and go 150% with super loud music.
