Board 8 > What do you do to relieve stress?

(+) Yeah! (+)

And if your primary option(s) are unavailable, what is/are your backup option(s)?
---

Cooking, drinking, clubs. If none of that is available then just suck it up and wait until it's available.
---

Exercise (Run/lift weights/play DDR), play/sing along with music, drink with friends, game, j***-off.
---

Clean or play basketball
---

Yoga
Aromatherapy (depends on the oil I use...some aren't so great)
Meditation (different forms of it)
Other exercise
Listen to music (if it's a major event, metal; if it's to unwind, video game songs)

If I'm being honest, usually I just let the stress consume me.

Whenever that doesn't happen I try to find distractions like watching something or playing a game.

This.

Talking to friends or just random people online helps me too. Gaming used to, but sometimes it adds to stress because my stress usually has to do with lack of time and gaming makes me feel like I'm wasting it.

Play video games
Listen to music
Meditate (though this is usually more when I need to calm down and control my anger)

And probably not the best solution, but if all else fails, I drink.

depending on the level of stress different things but recently i'll just browse b8/reddit to get lost in something as opposed to before where i would try to use games/music/tv/books. even starting up the latter options would feel like too much of a commitment.

goal here is to waste time until i get tired enough to go to fall asleep so i can more easily push it to the back of my mind when i wake up if it still persists.

I don't get stressed

Music
Watch a horror movie
Game, usually an old favorite or something multiplayer
Watch old episodes of RLM Best of the Worst/Half in the Bag or Pre-Rec Streams

Games, drinking, walking, watching a movie with the wife. In no particular order.

Music

In no order: take a walk, play DDR, listen to music, or look at cute animals

We still need to organize the big board 8 basketball meetup

Walk or run.

Used to take a drive but where I live now, driving is no longer relaxing
---

Music
Videogames
Drink

I lay on my couch and put a pillow on my face. I take about 10 minutes to wallow in it, think about it, and in doing so, I make a promise that I won't let myself dwell on the cause of the stress afterwards. Usually works out pretty well.

Rock climbing
Video games

I don't think I have any regular method. It's just whatever comes to me as something I should get done that's productive instead of stewing and lamenting.
