What is your way to relax when you're stressed?

For me it's going out and having a walk.

Despite everything going on in the world, beautiful days like this just makes me feel happy to be alive. 😄

There are some things that helps me relax when I'm stressed like

• Talking to/spending time with people I'm very close to.
• aking a warm shower,
• Walking barefoot in a garden,
• Go running,
• Getting a massage,
• Making sketches,
• Listening to soft music,
• Reading a book,
• Watching sitcoms and old movies especially old ones.

It sounds stupid, but stressing myself in a different area. I can work well when I am physically exhausted, as long as I am not just sleepy. Than sleeping is the best case. Sport is great when I am mentally exhausted.
I also dance to get new ideas. So kimda two in one. 😅

That's interesting, I usually have to distract myself completely from anything stressful to get anything done lol

Exercise. A run. Resistance training. A weighted jump rope. A mountain bike ride. Skiing. The pool. My water rower. Any sort of exercise feels good and diverts my mind from whatever is stressing me out.

Stress aside, if I'm simply stuck with my thinking on a given problem, I'll recognize it, stand up and walk away, and go for a run. Not always but almost always when I come back to it the next day my thinking is clearer and I'll find the breakthrough I was looking for.

Think of it as the problem of the forest and the trees. Get up and get out for a moment. Allow your perspective to reset. It's usually self imposed blindness holding me back.

Great tips!

The healthiest options I go for are: going swimming or for a run, spending time with friends, showering, watching a show, cooking, listening to music.

From time to time maybe I’ll smoke a bit, or relief myself.

All great stuff! I personally keep away from drugs and substances but not judging you for it, you do you
