How do you cope with stress?

Question

I just light up an incense stick and pray that it goes away.🤣🤣🤣

I exercise. Or I distract myself by doing something completely irrelevant and postponing the feeling. I do that a lot. I fucking distract myself so much that I no longer know how to stay focused and I do it by default to prevent myself from being stressed.
But I am getting very forgetful and that is not the correct way to cope with things so please don't do that because the side effects can be horrendous and can create more issues.

I remember my purpose and focus myself, not letting darkness come to me. The darker it gets, the brighter my light will shine.

I too love incense and prayer. If I feel the energy is off in my sacred home, I cleanse my entire home with sage and palo santo. I am a yoga teacher, so yoga and meditation help a lot with my stress. Prayer is the most powerful way to deal with stress. It is a chance to speak with our Omnipotent of choice, and send prayer requests. Mediation allows us to hear from our God. To receive answers to our prayers.

Listen to music or watch something to distract me from it/make me forget about it. Or sometimes I just sleep on it.

I ride 😎 It requires a focus that removes all else, serving up much needed rest from life's current troubles.

Wine, weed, and the occasional bubble bath. …or by cleaning. My go-to is vacuuming. Whenever I’m super stressed I vacuum.

Depends on the stressor. If it’s a problem i can solve, i solve it. If it’s not, i lean into escapism type distractions.

Maybe I’ll try that.  I used to ignore it and pray it’s someone else’s problem. Nothings changed 🥲

I say that certain things are uneventful. That way I choose what bothers me. My father was a bomber pilot during WWII. He said, everything is fine if no one is shooting at you.
