or, a weekend skydive

It depends what us causing the stress.

If its something that you can get rid of then do....is it work?

Some thing physical seems to work for most people....swim...run...gym...cycle...untill it hurts beccause you get the endorphins and the pain makes you feel alive ....

Sex helps too

It's stress I can't remove from my life. And I get no alone/away time, which is the big problem. Then I feel guilty for wanting alone time. More stress. Vicious cycle.

I did a workout already. Felt OK doing it and stress back through the roof again.

Honestly meditation does help, takes some time to get into but keep at it and you will learn to calm your mind and let go of the things you can't change. Lots of good videos on you tube for beginners. Some great books out there as well.

It will always be there.

It will not question me.

It will make me happy.

It will make me forget.

It will sort out my demons.

100kg is 100kg. Some days heavy sometimes not. I just accept it as its unforgiving.

If its something long term that is in your life then stress relief can only be a tempory relief.

You will have to learn how to compartmentalise it and try to some how make time to get the tempory relief. Perhaps in time you will be able to free yourself from the cause x

I used to get out on the bike and thrash it, 10 minutes of cycling used to relax me quite well.

When I was on the motorcycle, I found taking corners quicker than I would normally do. I don't mean speed, but instead of doing 10 mph do 15 and get a knee down. Or take to a national speed limit road and enjoy it.

Yeah I'd tend to agree. Changing your perspective on a situation can do a lot to help change how you feel about things.

Take fab forum posts for instance!

I appreciate there's going to be some things that won't work for, but it may help your situation. Eitherway keep your chin up a best you can.

I'm impressed at the number of you who haven't suggested sex. Am I in the right place?

A nice slow play (with or without help) does work very well for me, but I don't get much opportunity at the moment.

Drinking lots of water! Simple but effective. Sufficient hydration improves mood far more than people think, and people are often dehydrated, especially if they're living off tea and coffee all day.

Shoot random strangers on the internet on BF Destiny or some other online game, spread the stress and misery around

You're right, I never drink enough. And I forgot how cute you were.

"I get stressed quite easily, especially if I have to be around lots of people, so being alone for a couple of hours helps me. Meditation is great when I can motivate myself to do it, but the best 3 things I found are:

Lego

Jigsaw puzzles

Watching blackhead squeezing videos on YouTube (I know, I'm gross)

Blackhead squeezing videos....I can only 'lol' at that

That has got to be a fetish......I wonder what its name is?"

I believe the official term is 'sporn' (spot porn)

I very rarely get stressed, to be honest I'm just one of those people who don't get bothe_ed about stuff to a lot of people's annoyance

"Deep breathing and cold showers everyday "

Cold showers are great, I have them in the morning, lots of beneficial health effects, but it's also a stressor so good to have a break from them every now and then c:

A friend recently introduced me to the "100 day" challenge. Document something that makes you happy or that you are proud of that you did that day for 100 days. It helps to prove to yourself that even when you don't feel your best you still do things that are worth meriting I'm on day 7 and it's helped me to feel a little less stressed at night

Hope you manage to feel better within yourself soon chick xx

Chilled euphoric music or even some classical, failing that, walks along the river help me destress.

Not meeting

I either talk to my cocker spaniel or go and sit by the stream in the woods and listen to the water flowing
