When stressed, what do you do to relax and let the tension fade away?

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

[IslaTheWitch]

I go for a looong run... as long as I can run... until I'm so exhausted there is nothing left inside me

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

That sounds exhausting lmao

But I can see how it would help

[IslaTheWitch]

it clears your mind in quite a painful way... but it works... especially if you have tendencies to overthink or create negative scenarios... like me :D

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

If I could ever get the motivation to actually run instead of a walk, that would make total sense to do. I'm an overthinker myself

[IslaTheWitch]

one day I just put my shoes on and I ran... can't tell you what happened... it just happened... maybe I matured to do it because earlier I just read about running and how to build motivation... but I never built it :D it just popped up :D

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Well we are about the same age so maybe there's hope for me yet!

[Billlewis]

If by any chance you have access to a pool, swimming is one of the most efficient ways to get quality exercise without the typical wear and tear on your joints, and as a calorie burning solution as well, so I assume it would probably relieve stress, as well.

[IslaTheWitch]

@Billlewis it's true... but in such situations I need to feel physical pain... to numb the mental pain...

[Billlewis]

I understand.

[Alex-Snow]

Same here it helps me chill out

[MrOracle]

I put on some music and drum, or watch something light on TV (adult-focused animation, like Futurama, Family Guy, American Dad, and Archer are favorites), or I read a book. Oh, and I take the dog for a walk.

[Billlewis]

I enjoy providing foot massages as well as other various tasks and chores, all of which I provide free of charge.

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Oh gosh I would love someone to do my chores for me lmao

[Billlewis]

I know, right? As strange as it sounds, it's very exciting and erotic, to me anyway.

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

I find nothing erotic about cleaning the bathroom after my kids but if it works? It works. Lol

[Billlewis]

That's probably because it's *your* bathroom; you've seen it hundreds of times. For me, however, it's an intimate, highly personal private grotto, in which you often experience your most secretive moments.

[Billlewis]

Then there's what I call the 'Assertiveness Factor' Since many people are uncomfortable with the idea of having someone else clean their home, it's quite refreshing when someone says, 'Sure, knock yourself out, sir, and if you want to come back next week and do it again, please, by all means, let me know'

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

I've only had someone clean our home twice before. Once as a gift to my wife and another when we moved out of our old house and moved to a new state so we didn't have time to clean it and make it ready for purchase.

[Billlewis]

Yes, ma'am. I just started following you and I'd like to invite you to follow me, as well, if that's alright. Thank you very much.

[Billlewis]

A few years ago, three roommates, two women and single guy, answered my Craigslist ad offering free maid service, and they employed me for a year or so. Plus, they were young, kinky and fairly uninhibited in their preferred activities.

[mandyfire98]

Dance, workout, get a massage, sex, watch something funny.

[RetroReviews]

Retro video games maybe some Street Fighter 2 on the Super Nintendo

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Our copy of SF2: TE was on Sega!

[RetroReviews]

Noice, the versions I have right now are the Super Nintendo cart and the Turbo grafx-16 version... I downloaded it on the Wii virtual console store before it closed

[DishLady]

Listen to music, work on a project, tinker with something around the house that needs fixing, laugh with a friend.

[JohnK123]

What do u usually work on or tinker? What hobbies do u have

[DishLady]

Whatever needs fixing. I’ve become a bit handy with things over time.

[JohnK123]

Oh nice! Is it a hobby or just a necessity? I like to garden so I’ve made like my own tripods for plants etc. I’ve also made drawers and shelves for my room lol. I’ve been handy since I was a little kid. What ya doing now

[DishLady]

A little of both. I enjoy tinkering a little. No big appliances, though. That’s what the warranties are for. 😂

Making a little frame for a painting I did — nothing to brag about, but good enough.

[JohnK123]

Oh haha fair fair. And true. I mean by shelf I mean a top and a bottom and a middle shelf… all under 3 feet LOL. What was ur paining :) wanna be friends or just chat

[DishLady]

Smaller pieces — some trees, some flowers and one abstract thing I made
Once when I was in a mood 🫣😂. Some frames are salvage pieces so I did some tinkering, others are simple kits I’ve played around with.

[JohnK123]

Damn what abstract mood thing… :) and nice! I’ve seen like salvage frame reels on insta and online of like neat car parts and stuff! But nice :) I hope we can talk more ur super cool

[tryingitagain]

Working out can solve a lot of that for me, but having sex with my fiance is probably my first choice. We are pretty open in communication about that. If that isn't an option, take a bath and masturbate lol.

[JohnK123]

Sounds amazing

[KostasKouvalis]

I'm not particularly proud of this but, watch porn/sext

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Hey we all have different things that work

[provokeesmokee]

Hot bubble bath with a cold drink and a fresh joint.

[Still-alive]

video games. youtube videos especially animal ones. animals always make me feel better lol

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

I have a farm at my house it feels like with 3 dogs, 2 cats and 2 kids so I always get my fill of cute overload here.

[ThatGuyAaron]

Playing video games usually helps me take my mind off of stressful things.

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Oh yeah? What games are your favorites to play?

[ThatGuyAaron]

Fallout and Deep Rock Galactic

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

I own both but have rarely played them. I typically play overwatch to blow off steam even though it frustrates me too lmao

[PreferNot2Say]

Smoke a little weed, not a ton of have a couple of whiskeys.

[CubaPirate]

Fire up the hot tub and get in with a glass or two of wine

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Now this one I can get behind!

[DrPepper12]

Read, work out, walk, go for a drive or do some mindless household task like vaccum or windows.

[ProbablyClueless]

Workouts do a pretty good job of relieving stress.

[exitseven]

I used to drink copious amounts of a particular malt Beveridge. Now I do a tough workout.

[jjj101010]

Play sport, play PlayStation, jerk off or watch tv. All help

[jjj101010]

What about u?

[jjj101010]

Oh and a nice cold beer helps roo

[jjj101010]

Too.

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

I like to play games, sleep, or listen to music

[jjj101010]

Nice. What games?

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Games like overwatch, stardew valley and let's build a zoo

[jjj101010]

Cool, I’m just relaxing now, playing fifa, having a beer. May watch some tv after

[bananathunder]

lay back and watch some tv/YouTube, hang out with a good friend, masturbate/have sex, take a nap, work out at the gym, have a drink at the bar

[Ilovepeace67]

I drink coffee, think about things and pray. I keep looking forward.

[JohnK123]

Tv, sleep, read, play video games, work out, guy stuff… ofc

[Dantec2024]

I like to play video games and do some puzzles

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

I love doing puzzles with the family. What games do you tend to play when stressed?

[Dantec2024]

Lately I've been more into house flipper simulator 2, it's kinda fun just fixing up houses and the music in the game is pretty relaxing

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

That sounds like my kind of game. I've been going very casual lately playing games like Stardew Valley and Let's build a zoo

[Dantec2024]

Oh yeah I've been wanting to get into those two games. The most similar game I have to the zoo one is jurassic world evolution 2

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Oh nice! Never seen that one before. I did consider getting Planet Zoo but I couldn't justify the price on it.

[Dantec2024]

Yeah it's a bit pricey lmao

[Anonymous]

I drink until I run out of alcohol, then work just enough to buy more, and repeat

[Booklover_90]

Lately, drinking tea.

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

I could never find a tea I was ok with so I tend to avoid it completely now. I was always curious about Boba tea though. Maybe I'll give that a try

[Kelly6]

@Ez-Bri-Z_v2 I go on walk

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

That's a good one!

[Kelly6]

Walk at park or beach, changes mood quickly and by watching others it makes you forgot of stress

[Nikki1989]

Listen or play music.

[LaurenM1997]

[Chazmatazz269]

Usually watch a movie or show.

Gregorian chant music. That's a unique one

[ICanSmellTheCosmos]

Yep. I'm not religious, but I find it to be super relaxing stuff.

[12karen]

Singing help me to feel better
