I get stressed out very easily. I have found a new and weird hobby for taking stress away. Please don't laugh. lol.....I edge my grass with a pair of sizzors. Oddly enough, my grass turned out really good and it didn't take me that long. I also trimmed my bushes with the same pair of sizzors. ;D
-
That's a very productive way to deal with stress. When I get stressed/angry I clean. I to like to have a productive outlet for my stress/anger.
-
I read or listen to music, but when I am really stressed and those things dont seem to help I use the EFT technique and find peace.
-
just calm down
-
lift weights write ur feelings down on a sheet of paper.....
-
I usually sweat it out... go running, biking, or just do a cardio DVD like Insanity. I also like to sing.
-
I read or listen to music sometimes I cry. Most of the time I pray.
-
I play the piano.
-
Pray, cry,spar. Unfortunately not always in that order.
-
I work on crafts, cross stitching mainly. If I am really stressed, yell, throw things, cry; luckily I do not get that stressed very often, it takes a lot to get me that worked up and stressed out.
-
I don't deal with it very well....it all goes into my body. Muscles are soooo tense, headaches, stomach aches! I know I'm really stressed when I need TUMS! I just need to learn how to give it all to God!
-
I do kick boxing, and all my stress goes away.
-
dealing stress is so irritating. i always go to the gym and work my but off and punch things with a punchbag.. use that stress for good not the bad :)
-
My stress management skills need work. I avoid things, I procrastinate, I distract and overstimulate my senses to numb myself. TV shows, movies, video games, internet, etc.
-
dealing stress is so irritating.
If you're "dealing stress", it can be somewhat "irratating" to others, sure.
:o
-
Usually just put on my headphones and go on a nice long run.
-
If you really want to stay away from stress,buddy have you come to the wrong forum! ;D

Wouldn't it work out better to persuade 'em to hit themselves with that brick by relentlessly overwhelming 'em with reason?

from a legal stand point yes....but wouldn't it be just a little bit satisfying to whack one or two once in awhile?

Possibly however, I've been advised on numerous occasions that my words alone can cause such 'injuries' ranging from headches, loss of 'faith', spontaneuous bleeding from the eye sockets, irreparable irrationality and maybe even hives.

The way that I deal with stress is by playing COT Conquest of Thrones all the fighting in the game helps me to relieve some of my stress. Or I just read a romance novel.

That would cause me to wonder why someone keeps bricks beside their bathtub, unless they were expecting to be screamed at in the bath.
-
A short time ago, I would just smoke. But I found a hobby--coin collecting. I suppose that anything that distracts someone is better than sitting there and being upset. I also like to clean and organize. :icon_rr:
-
I usually try to redirect my thoughts to dwell on positive things, like all the good that is in my life that I am thankful for, and before I know it the feeling of stress is greatly reduced if not completely removed.
-
CHOCOLATE - sometimes in great quantities - :wave:
-
To deal with stress I spend time in prayer and meditate on the word of God. It's a refreshing experience to hear the Holy Spirit speak peace into your heart and soul.

Conversely, engaging in such would initiate some minor "stress" for me; which is why I avoid it for health reasons, (after all, look at what's it's done to you, not for you *shudder*).
-
My methods of dealing with stress are pretty mundane, I guess. I knit or do cross-stitch. If i'm restless enough I jam the mp3 earbuds in and go for a good brisk walk. Reading works too, as well as journaling.
-
go to bed
-
Depends on how bad it is. Sometimes writing what is bothering you on a piece of paper and tearing it into little pieces can help. Sounds simple, but it can help.
-
Well, I have found sex to be the best reliever of them all. Easy to get lost in that one.

And even better with a partner?

-
Do anything to unwind your trouble mind. I personally go for a walk or YouTube to listen to some music or watch a movie.
-
I try to take a few minutes to myself and take some deep breaths and stretch. Sometimes it works and sometimes you just have to let it out and cry or sing along to your favorite song or whatever makes you happy even for a few minutes. It's so unhealthy that so many of us are stressed out and depressed. We all need to slow down and breathe once in a while...
-
the way I deal with stress is going to the gym and working out out for a couple of hours. I feel relaxed after a vigorous workout.
-
I agree with some of the previous comments, I do enjoy working out. Whether swimming or lifting weights. However, sometimes if the stress is continuing for several days (which tends to be the pattern in my life), my muscles get very tight and I can get hurt easily. I do believe in the healing power of a bubble bath and a departure from reality with a good book. A nice smelling candle never hurts ;)
I also find that sometimes you just have to step away, maybe that's to a nice dinner (that you didn't cook) or even a full day without communication. Big believer in turning that cell phone off and not going online....just to chill and defragment LOL
-
Do something, anything strenuous. Walk, run, etc.
-
I have several ways to reduce stress. I clean house, bake, listen to music or Iron. I find ironing very relaxing
plus it makes me proud to see my clothes or husbands clothes pressed nice and neat.
-
I like your method of relieving stress because it reminds me of the movie "the karate kid". I try not to get stressed out to begin with but when I am I always like to be a lone and do something that takes my mind off of what is stressing me. This thing is called martial arts tricking. :)

Nothing wrong with that!!! I do the same thing when our neighbor forgets to cut the yard!!! For me, gardening, music, woodwork, and otherwise out of sight-out of mind!!!
-
Usually, I just try to get somewhere quiet. I take deep breaths and pray. Then, I listen to some relaxing music like Chill Out/House. Drinking Kava tea and playing video games afterwards is awesome.
-
I get stressed too from my job; I work as a cook, so stress builds up fast. Well what I usually do is listen to some music, watch some tv too and drink your favorite beverage. Hopes this helps.
-
I tend to run to food when I am stressed usually sweet and chocolate. It is a bad habit but at least I am usually not that stressed out. I'm sure I could find a better way to cope but sweets taste so good.
-
It may be weird. But I found that fusioncash and other sites like it have helps to keep my mind off of unnecessary things. I guess there are more benefits to these sites than we know! ;)
-
I go for a walk (while listening to music) ...it really helps
-
I second the above. Going for a good walk while listening to music definitely helps. So does working with my hands (for me, anyway).
I remarked not long ago that I wanted the T-shirt that says, "I knit so I don't killl people." Someone who overheard me remarked that her grandmother had had five children; she used to quilt in the summer and crochet in the winter--and her grandmother said this was the only reason all five of her children had reached adulthood. So--there's something to this business of keeping something in your hands as often as possible.
-
Go for a walk or listen to music helps me
-
I dont always deal with stress the way I should.
However, for the most part I deal with stress by
talking about it to my close friends. I also read, take
walks and talk to God. Sometimes, I try to relax but
that is one thing I have a hard time doing.
-
I surf the web, listen to music, drink water, exercise...
-
My doctor prescribes medication for me. If it wasn't for my doctor I don't know how I would deal with my stress.
-
Nawwww I don't think edging the grass is weird. My husband is a landscaper and when he's working he'd his least stressed. It's practically like meditating for him. I used to decorate cakes and would loose all track of time. I would walk away feeling NO stress...I moved out of the bakery department when I blew out my elbow and before even went to work I was stressed...It was crazy. I haven't really figured a new outlet that's allows me to release as decorating did.
-
Cool, when I'm stressed or sad I go out and buy myself something and I feel much better, of course if I have no money well I have no other destress solution. :(
-
I tend to do an incredibly exerting exercise that burns all my energy. I actually found out that I can push my limits this way as the stress gradually turns to adrenaline that I convert into energy. It's actually a great exercise motivator. Otherwise, I would simply force my mind to think of nothing and just let time pass.
-
The way I deal with stress is listening to jazz. It seems to soothe the mind and the soul. It's a good mood changer. :angel12:
-
My favorite way to beat stress is talking to my friends. No matter what, they will find some way to relate and we laugh about it.
-
Clean, or darken the room... throw on some Ozzy and mellow out! :)
-
stress is a very hard thing to deal with especially if it a family member causing all the grief. but what i usually do is put on head phones and then turn on a video game a drift of into my own world.. and i smoke alot of ciggarettes lol
-
I release my stress but blowing stuff up with my 12 gauge. It helps!!

We went over this in Church today, "Overcoming Stress"
1. Face the future with Faith.
2. Exercise regularly.
3. Claim Gods promises
4. Forgive one another
5. Pray about your problems
6. Stay positive
7. Set the right goals.

We went over this in Church today, "Overcoming Stress"
If you attended "church" on a Saturday, does this imply your religious beliefs?
1. Face the future with Faith.
Vague advise recommending a vague methodology.
2. Exercise regularly.
Sound secular advise being tacitly claimed as non-secular?
3. Claim Gods promises
As what; unsupported specious claims which lack supportive evidence?
5. Pray about your problems
Engaging in some magical intercessory rituals, ("prayer"), is less likely to affect "your problems" in a practical manner. Doing so accomplishes nothing more than a potential psychological placebo effect.

See? You are proving the fact someone made known to all about you going after the "Christians" no matter what thread, which forum, and no matter how old the thread is, considering that this particular poster only made this post today, and here you came right in after the poster's comments.

I'm sorry, but there was no call for him to do that. The poster added something to an old thread, with a mixture of Christian based thoughts and everyday life thoughts, and was then jumped on for expressing "religious" thoughts (freedom of speech.)
-
I just realized another way I deal with stress...and this is odd...we had a massive storm come through today... power outages...no internet. The works. The living room only has one outlet that is working. And the bathroom has no power at all. We changed all the fuses as per our landlords instructions after being told Thursday it's our responsibility... Yeah fuses popping left and right and now we have no air and I'm getting on my pc through and extension cord...I'm ok with this but my husband..yikes...watch out blood pressure. I've learned I deal with stress when I can help others through the stress. Weird huh?
-
I just deal with stress by listening to music and playing games. however, my puppy helps me the most with my stress and other problems. somehow, he just come up with ways to make me laugh just like today when he was running circles around my mom outside. I guess, he had too much energy or something lol

What a lying load of crap; this poster came into a thread about stress, posted religious nonsense interspersed with a few secular non sequiturs and I responded to their INITIAL religious proselytizing. You xtians still don't get a free pass for posting religious nonsense on unrelated threads or forums because this still isn't an exclusive xtian country club where no opposition is permitted.
However, there you go, jumping in to 'protect' the 'poor, defenseless xtian sheeple' and the skeptical 'wolves'. How condescending and patronizing of you.

Someone's reply to a thread is relevant based on their life experience and beliefs. Neither you nor I get to judge their motives or the relevance. I'm no mind reader, and neither are you.
Non sequitur; no "mind-reading" attempts were made in replying to a religious proselytizing post.
The difference between you and that poster is that they are posting in order to lift up others.
No, the difference is that previous poster posted religious proselytizing as a way to deal with stress, (a cop-out). That's not 'lifting up' unless viewed from a blind-faith perspective, (which you do and I don't), hence my response.
You are posting to tear down others. I'm not sure why you enjoy doing that, but you do it an awful lot.
No, I am posting opposition to religious self-deceptions, (blind faith), itself. It is not done to "tear down others"; it is done in dissent against the religious superstitions held by adherents of blind faith.

I deleted my reply. I'm sorry you wasted your time.

Stress can be a danger to good health. So, I deal with stress by not getting stressed out! And if something tends to work on my nerves, I pray and settle my mind. Results = "no stress"
-
I pray and settle my mind. Results = "no stress"
The attribution of result to "prayer" is unsupported by anything but your "faith", (and faith is belief without evidence).

I deleted my reply. I'm sorry you wasted your time.
Even though you deleted it, I agreed with what you said. Many people enjoy uplifting comments, whether spiritual or not. It's a shame that one person, in particular, tries to go in and completely make a thread distasteful because of not letting posters share comments back and forth of something that helps others. Ultimately, it is the one person, who is showing their arrogance and disrespect to others, especially in a off-topic thread. It is none of that person's business who believes what, when sharing things like that.
The main thing to remember, is to not let anyone make others feel "inferior" or "stupid" for what they wish to share and comment back on. Life has a bitter way, sometimes, of catching up with mean people, and biting them back with their very own arrogance. No one in here should have to tread on eggshells, nor have to not post something, because of the idiocy of a certain poster coming in directly behind them, to bash and try to crush. Instead, that certain poster is making a fool and a rotten reputation of themselves, not to mention changing the atmosphere of this wonderful forum from a fun thing to a sour thing, with regards to uplifting posts, that can be ignored when they don't apply to the poster.
An example of this is that there are many who enjoy getting their coffee and checking in here in the mornings before work. There are several who do not enjoy that now because the very topics they enjoyed chatting about and sharing with others, have been brought down and are not happy. Some have left the forum, while others just try to find other things to post with others about, and miss what they had with friends. This is a rotten shame because it's suppressing those from speaking freely who have the same privilege as anyone else to speak of things they enjoy.
But, overall, I understand why you deleted it. Thank you for what you said, anyway. :)

Your opinion is inherently-biased in that it does not reflect the intent of dissenting posts which oppose the equally "distasteful" initial xtian proselytizing posts preceding them.
It is none of that person's business who believes what, when sharing things like that.
Once such religious superstitions are made 'public', they intrude upon the "business" of others unless ignored or, opposed. I choose opposition since the xtian's chose repetitious proselytization.
... because of the idiocy of a certain poster coming in directly behind them, to bash and try to crush. Instead, that certain poster is making a fool and a rotten reputation of themselves ...
Oh? You rant about "bashing" and then "bash" just after claiming not to bash?. In that case, the mind-blinded moronic views of a xtian fundie make fools of the ones engaging in them. Such hypocrisy seems typical of fundamentalist xtian religious adherents. Once again, since you're demonstrably too bone-stupid to apprehend it; these forums are not some sort of exclusive xtian country clubs for the unopposed proselytization of superstitious nonsense. As for your 'representation' of xtian mind-blindness; well-done.

I clean the house when I am stressed.

Though your remark is barely coherent, it's revealing, (stress after pretending to "talk to g-d").

What ever it takes to release stress, so I like to be alone in a dark room.
-
A bottle of whiskey with a shot of coke cola
-
I deal with stress by using da computer or drinking a nice cup of hot tea. :)
-
Alot of times that dont work. There are times where I have to have a beer to forget about how bad my head hurts
-
I do meditating!
-
Stress isnt good for the body. I deal with stress through playing relaxing music or playing my flute. Meditation is another good way to deal with stress as well.
-
Stress is a given. What makes life interesting is NOT the stress,
but what the coping strategies are...
A few of mine:
-- walks in the park.
-- 2 day vacations.
-- make music.
-- draw.
and many other approaches ... :wave: :wave: :heart:

Interesting.

Sing Along & gardening

I scream, I yell and I cry sounds about right. Stress just ignore it pretend it isn't there. That is what all these suggestions are saying. Me I bury myself in the computer or a movie to distract myself but it is still there I just get to pretend it doesn't exist for a while.
