I'm stressed

UGH...Anyone know a good stress reliever? If I had a pool I'd be doing a few miles, but no... no pool, yet. I'm trying not to encourge my alcoholism, so I haven't had a sip :) But still...

A pool would be perfect.

I have this stress cream that's like minty/menthol you rub on your temples. It's definitely discontinued from Bath and Body, but it still works for me.

I'd pass some over if this were The Jetsons.

this is such a loser-ish thing...

If I'm really really stressed, I go into my room, light all my candles, and put on this CD I bought in Acadia National Park. Its like classical music, but it has "nature sounds" in the background. I just lay in my bed, and I usually fall asleep, but I'm not as stressed when I wake up. I guess any sort of classical music would do it though; I think I'm the only person with "The Sounds of Acadia"

Hmmm I had a pretty stressful day myself..... Did a lot of pacing -- and Im so VERY anti-pacing.

Just went to the bar to shoot darts with my best friend. Had a lot more to drink than I probably should have..... But hey, shooting darts is a nice stress reliever. If I'd set up my dartboard already we wouldnt have needed to leave the house.

Alcohol, or cigarettes for me. However, tea also works wonders. Just relax with a cup of tea. What else...a nice bubble bath with candles and some nice music in the background.

A long bath when Alcohol isn't an option...

re: I'm stressed

Go hit the gym and work out hard - thats good for some stress relief. Stretch, drink tons of water, go for a long walk listening to some of your favorite music, meditate. Just do whatever it takes to block out the real world for an hour or two - but don't drink alcohol...that only exascerbates the problem (especially if you are a self-proclaimed alcoholic). Try not to do anything that is self-destructive...believe me, I've been there. I'm going through some stressful times in my life right now and I find that being outdoors and breathing in the good air is great for me, along with talking to friends and practicing my favorite arts...singing is wonderful for me - it allows me to use my instruments wisely and it also strengthens me from the inside out - the best way to do it.

Sex is always good too!

But I like Albin's idea...

re: I'm stressed

Well, fun as it might sound to "beat the crap out of someone", it certainly wouldn't solve any of your stress problems. Stick with the hot tea.

re: I'm stressed

How about beating the crap out of someone DRINKING hot tea?
#13

re: I'm stressed

hot tea drinkers deserve to have the crap beaten out of them!
#14

re: I'm stressed

working out is a great reliever. and the more stressed i am, the harder i work out. then i'll take a hot shower or bath, have a cup of tea and relax. it's a good time :)

re: I'm stressed

I drink hot tea!

re: I'm stressed

I work out really hard and then take a really really long shower. And I sing really loud while I'm in there. Then I just go have a big old slice of pound cake (or insert your favorite unhealthy food) and read a really good book or watch some brainless TV. Or your fave musical on DVD. That's what I do. And don't neglect your napping. re: I'm stressed

re: I'm stressed

My real favourite thing is to get Disc one of Sweeney Todd and put it onto track number 20 and sing my heart out.

Yes folks, track 20 is EPIPHANY...

re: I'm stressed

i meditate with the Varekai (Cirque du Soliel) tracks one and two on repeat. VERY relaxing.
