How do you cope with stress?

[alaskaguy]

I have a number of things I can turn to. In no particular order they include family, friends, beer, and athletic pursuits.

 

[cycopath25]

Friends, Beer, and Sports

That's how I roll.

 

[Stumpy]

Playing guitar or listening to music. I'll go on runs if I get really stressed, or take a shower if it's a late night and I still have work to do.

 

[Cydar]

1)Hit the gym
2)Listen to music
3)Watch a comedy
4)Talk with friends/family (I really don't like bothering other people with my problems)


At one time eating and drinking would have been on my list but too much of that lead to #1 on my list.

Lawrence Welk?

Yes...his German accent and Myron Floren on the accordian take me back to the simpler days of my youth.

And if that doesn't work, see this thread...

I find that if I remember to talk to God first to get my priorities straight, the stress relievers are much more productive.

 

[cybsball20]

I tend to not let anything get to me so much that it causes stress... If that doesn't work I break things...

 

[RyCy04]

I work the old punching bag aka wife.

J/K... She's just my girlfriend.

For real J/K... Violence is bad and I do not condone domestic abuse... and don't do drugs.

That's a really good point. :notworthy:

 

[Cycloneman]

I cope with stress in a number of ways which include;
1.) Listening to Brahms' 2nd Symphony
2.) Watch any sitcom rerun that is on
3.) Wathc a movie, usually tends to be a feel good type
4.) If all else fails I just vent out whatever is bothering me with my friends and family.

 

[IcSyU]

Listen to music while I'm running. A physical basketball game usually works well for me also (no blood no foul style).

How do you get god to answer? I still haven't gotten that part to work yet.
