How do you deal with stress?

Exercise. The more stress, the more exercise. When I was doing heavy labor for a living, I never had stress. I was doing hard core anti-stress work 8 hours a day, 6-7 days a week. I almost never felt stress until I started working in an office. Office work is so unhealthy.

I reduce stress by facing it head on or by finding solutions to deal with it.

[valentina4eva]

talk with my close friends & get their advice or just vent out / process my feelings!!😅 or go to the gym or yoga and sweat it out💪🏻 or do relaxing bubble bath!!😊 ohh also chocolate!🍫 or other comfort foods😊 and also cry if i need to😭🙃

[Danny_dan92]

Chocolate is that powerful?

[TheworldofVincent]

@valentina4eva Do you think your way of handling stress is more based on your valued or more based on the evidence you see around you and deem as more effective?

[valentina4eva]

well it does give u endorphins too!!😅🙈 but also i think whatever ur specific comfort foods are maybe would help with stress?🤔

[valentina4eva]

@TheworldofVincent im not sure if i understand the question right soz😅 but i was just listing the things that help most for me when im stressed!!😊

[TheworldofVincent]

I just was asking if you think your chosen solutions to your worry is more based on evidence or your values. Like do you choose to talk with friends about the issue because you think people need a social network for comfort and thriving, or because it just seems to work?

[valentina4eva]

@TheworldofVincent ohh okie i get it now!!😅 but i think my answer is both!! i do think social network and connectedness is super important for ppl’s mental health and wellness💯 but i also know for me specifically, talking with my closest friends when i need them is by far the #1 help for me if i am stressed or emotional!!😊 they’re the ones who get me thru🫶🏻

[TheworldofVincent]

You sound like an intelligent girl. My cup of tea. Pm me and let's talk!

[TheworldofVincent]

I think it's important to be aware of one's own needs and adapt accordingly, when in stressful situations and when calm and happy.

[valentina4eva]

@TheworldofVincent tyyy!😊😊

and i agree completely!!💯 figuring out what works for u and what doesn’t, and adapting if things aren’t working👍🏻

[TheworldofVincent]

Do you ever find yourself in the situation where your desire for something you don't need was in conflict with your needs? :)

[valentina4eva]

@TheworldofVincent yess for sure when i was younger, but nowadays im getting much better at self-care and responsibility!!😊 sometimes it is still tricky thooo😅🙈

[midnightmoon05]

I have learned to let go of everything materialistic in this world. I am also not attached to my job or my kids… call me cold or just a free spirit… I don’t get stress… life is good. 😊

[Caillouuu]

I worship, pray, perform namaz and read the Quran, this relaxes me.

[Danny_dan92]

I’m not muslim or more specifically not religious at all but I guess there is some meditational aspect to it

[Caillouuu]

I was doing meditation for a while. I am a Muslim and when I am in trouble with religion, I take refuge in the Quran and prayer.

[Danny_dan92]

That’s good.

Watching series/movies and scary videos to take my mind off of things, going for walks in the afternoon, hitting the gym. Also helps to talk to hang out or talk with a good friend.

[Flowersareawsome22]

[Danny_dan92]

[Wuai201]

Put on some music, cry, sleep, rant, ride the bus to it's final destination, get my favorite snack

[WonderingManII]

I don't. It happens, and then it leaves when it leaves.

[Anonymous]

If I get stress, I stress u.. simple as that LOL

Life is about balance tho, it's not good to get stress alone.. 🤣

[TheworldofVincent]

For me exercise is most effective to reduce stress. Getting into my body and really using my body. I think it's the best to get out of my head.
