How do you relieve stress?

[Kman25]

Play games and take walks. Always works for me.

 

[SuperBowser]

Play the piano for a few hours, sleep, listen to music, lie down, go home (parent's house rather than uni) or talk to friends.

 

[bolt.]

I run very fast until I get tired then jog home. It sucks if I get pissed at night though because running in the dark past bars and **** can be a little scary. Lol.

 

[Moon of the Strawberries]

It depends on what i'm stressed on. Usually, I just watch youtube videos or take a walk because if I do anything else it'll just make me even more stressed.

 

[Kantō]

smoke.....
play games, umm sleeping helps too.

 

[the melon!!!!!]

It used to be football for me, but since then I've found new sources.

I play/listen to music and play video games. If that fails, I watch Super Mario Bros. - Frustration on youtube and bask in the thought that my life doesn't suck that much lol.

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

Smoking.

When I'm stressed, videogames don't help me. I can't focus, especially when it comes to Melee and Brawl.

I often talk to myself, try to analyze the situation, and I usually spend large amounts of time on the Internet until I feel more calm.

Long walks at night help too. It's so peaceful.

 

[~Firefly~]

I avoid the internet when I'm mad. Nothing helps to restore my faith in humanity like a good ol' fashioned flame war.

Listening to music my most effective way to relieve stress. Going for walks works wonders as well, especially when combined with music, but I do everything I can to avoid people when I'm angry, so going out seems counter-intuitive. If I need to just simmer for a bit, I'll listen to music, but if I need to take my mind off of something, I'll play a low-stress video game, like Mario Kart or some other Mario game. The game itself really makes a difference; for instance, if I try playing Fire Emblem when I'm in a bad mood, it's almost guaranteed to make it worse. >.>

Long, solitary walks keep me sane.

lol@stress

 

[stabbedbyanipple]

Running does it for me.

 

[Pikaville]

Lord of the rings battle for middle earth 2 has been doing it for me lately.

The forces of Mordor are a great stress reliever.

Doom 2 also helps.

 

[Pink Reaper]

Sex works wonders for me.

 

[PSIQuasi]

I also solving a good rubix cube during my stress periods, or just blank my mind, and stare at the ceiling, or do nothing.

 

[SirroMinus1]

All of the stress i contain is in my right fist and i have yet to release it. so when that time comes i will feel bad for the person who made me mad

 

[BBQTV]

running,watching cartoons,video games

and of coruse A Date With Rosie Palms

 

[Ryan Ludovic]

tai chi and taking a walk with a good ciggerette - quitting currently

Running does it for me.

I really ought to get into that and give it a try next time. Not only would it be nice to relieve the stress in a positive way, it'd also be great to get that kind of excersize in 8U

also, lupin++

 

[TCRhade]

A good dose of opera or classical music soothes me.

Sometimes I even go for playing a movie and doing something else at the same time. The movie provides great background noise.

 

[Piety the Diety]

am I the only one who medatates here?

 

[VodkaHaze]

Beat mah meat!

 

[Neo Exdeath]

am I the only one who medatates here?

I sometimes do it. (As a joke, though)

 

[condemned_soul]

i smoke and then forgot what i was stressed about or go to sleep because i always feel better after I take a nap

 

[DUB]

Mary Jane relieves the stress from my brain

 

[Vlade]

Like TCRhade, listening to classical music helps soothe the soul for me

 

[Moksha]

porn makes me feel better

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

I'm more of a visual person...

Note: I dont punch walls to the point of bleeding (luckily). I just tend to get some nice bruises >__>;
I just draw and listen to music otherwise.

 

[Dodongo]

well I looked into this topic and found exactly what I thought I'd find

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

Girlfriend.
If she is the source, walking, games, sleep >>>

 

[blueberry]

I just like to take a walk for a breath of fresh air when I'm stressed. If I feel tired too I will take a short nap as well. It's not good for our body to be stressed out all the time, so you can opt to do activities you enjoy which can lessen your stress levels.

 

[RockCrock]

Running! A nice after-hours run with headphones on is sweet.

 

[Denzi]

Running! A nice after-hours run with headphones on is sweet.

^That's one I like. Other times I'll draw, listen to music, eat (i like food and I have a high metabolism ), or break things. Not a fan of that last one, punching things gets me nowhere fast =/
I try to control myself though.

 

[Hax]

marijuana

 

[Celuz4259]

usually I either go for a jog or play video games like madden or NBA 2K10 to calm down

 

[pitskeyblade]

I play video games or read. It's funny how my mom always complains about me playing video games all the time, and I just grin at her and say"They're my anti-drug." Which they are. She doesn't have anything to say to that. But, yeah, video games are awesome when you're stressed/mad because you can beat the snot out of someone without getting a lawsuit. ^_^

 

[RetroAntonio]

Video games, masturbation, ya know. (jk)

Really though, I'd say playing Guilty Gear online with my buddies.
