Ways to quickly relieve stress?

Go to gym

 

I don't recommend cigarettes, simply because I know too many people who are trying like hell to quit them.

I generally vent stress by bitching at people on MSN - it's really quite therapeutic - or listening to music. (I find a good song when stressed is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Av8WDtkCuJg)

Of course, meditation works too if you're into that sort of thing.

 

Gay music to me, no offence. Are you into Gothic type of shit?

Also, I suggest you don't start bitching at people on MSN or in real life cause when you're all good and your stress is gone...the person you bitched at will be pissed at you, lol. Happened to me so many times.

 

Thanks. I am not sure yet if i want to try cigarettes. I never thought I had an addictive personality but I'm just craving mary-jane right now. <_< Probably because I have plenty and I can't smoke it. I'd love to try cigarettes, but I am pretty concerned about if I'd get addicted to them or not.. =/

I bitch at enough people over MSN but yeah it does help. lol. I would just go hang out with a friend like I always do when I'm stressed, but that friend is contributing to the stress atm..

I'll listen to your song and clear my mind.

Edit: Song can be a relaxing but it's far too short.. It was over before I knew it.

Brilliant observation. >.> I'm into a lot of different stuff, but most of it is not exactly calming. I simply find the melody of the song soothing, and with the lyrics in a foreign language, there's less be distracted by.

People just act confused when I do it. -.- I think they just assume it's PMS or something.

 

You just reminded me of some great anime soundtracks that always helped me calm down.

 

I like to turn on music and either go into deep thought, or just like sing or something like that. Usually I'm under the influence of marijuana though.

 

Not sure if this is your style of music but, these are a few songs that are always super chill and relaxing to listen to, for me at least.










(^music starts at 1:10)

 

Take a long shower/bath, fish, paint, bike ride, basically anything involving nature that's peaceful will help. Watching Comedy movies and shows can also help get your mind of things.

 

I find the easiest way to relieve stress is by going to the gym and working out.

Tip: Getting drunk with a friend works pretty well.

 

I go to the gym, watch a movie, converse with friends/girlfriends, or play videogame, always does the trick for me.

 

I'd say this. Nothing better than having a night on the town with your best buds, drunk, without a care in the world. Just make sure not to get arrested, or into any serious trouble. When you wake up the next morning, you'll be too hungover to feel stressed.

And if even during your hangover you're stressed, jack off, feel great.

edit: jesus christ that was the OP I quoted. I needa read more often haha

 

all of these are great but at the end of the day all roads lead back up the mango tree. If ya know what i mean.

WINK WINK

 

I always go for long jogs when I'm stressed, working out also helps.

 

Lol, can't believe no one else suggested jacking off. That's always a very nice stress-reliever.

 

Pretty sure 50% of this thread says to masturbate. Okay. I got it. Any more suggestions? <_<

 

Go invest in a punching bag. Or just have yourself a nice work out. It usually makes me not give a shit about anything around me when I'm done. Good luck.

 

I wouldn't recommend weed, it does relax you at times but it doesn't really relieve the stress in my opinion, just temporary and then it comes rushing back, Warm baths and right after take a nap or something along those lines, does wonders for me
