Stress Relief

As you know, stress is deadly. It can lead to all sorts of social and psychological problems. It can also hurt one's health (for example, through physiological changes such as hypertension, lowered immune system effectiveness, etc.). <br><br>I don't deal with stress very well overall, though I do use meditation and deep breathing exercises to relax when I really really feel it. I'd like to know others here deal with the stress in their lives. Speaking directly to individual posters: what kinds of things cause stress in your life, and in what specific ways do you try to eliminate this stress? What do you do to let off some steam?<br><br>ZL <p><img src="http://www.buncha-network.com/zl/R3K.gif"/> <img src="http://www.buncha-network.com/zl/ZLstrat.gif"/> <br /><br>Empires wax and wane; states cleave asunder and coalesce. <br><br><em>"Swift as the wind, silent as the forest, fierce as the fire, steady as the mountain."</em> A banner used by the Takeda clan of Kai (Sengoku Jidai era). </p><i></i>

I get stress from school, a nice hot bubble bath can help but playing on video games that have smooth actions help too, I find the Dynasty Warriors games the best. <p></p><i></i>

I get stressed out from my super visor at work. He sends me out on the street and I usually hate it. If the road is clear I just go hammer down. Before I know it, I'm doing 30 or 40 over the posted limit. That always puts a <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"> on my face.<br><br>When the track was open I'd just go out there and blast away. Nothing beats getting shoved in the seat like a sticky launch (tires wrinkling) at 5K, hanging on to the steering wheel for dear life. At the end of the run, I just do like Rick Flair and say "Woooo!"<br><br>That and excersise. Get some good cardio going for 40-50 minutes. Deeps stretching right after. Feels <strong>so</strong> good. <p><img src="http://www.suncitystreetscene.net/forum/html/emoticons/muscles.gif" style="border:0;"/><div style="text-align:center">"Hashiriya are lonely drivers so, we do not need girlfriends."</div></p><i></i>

Good stress release is take it out on a pillow. Or play a nice game of GTA3 and use cheats, stand on roof, and shoot at the innocent ppl! <p>Stop acting as if you were sad.<br>There's no need to act as though you're angry either.<br>Because... You are... <br><em>a puppet</em><br><br>Why did you have to leave? <br>I'll never forget... <br><em>What we had...</em><br></p><i></i>

My problem isn't my boss, he's a pretty laid back fellow, it's just the amount of work. Piles and piles of it, non-stop for almost a year now (I really need a vacation). When I get home, I'll sit down with the kiddies, watch some anime, and forget about the world for a while. ^^ <p><div align="center"><style>.siggy { border-top : 2px solid #EAEAFF;border-right : 2px solid #000084;border-bottom :2px solid #000000;border-left : 2px solid #A4A4FF;background-image: url('http://www.henheart.com/ezstuff/washu11b.jpg');}.siggy td {background-color: transparent; color: #00F0FF; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;} .siggy a:link { color: #FF0000; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; }.siggy a:active { color: #FFFF00; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; }.siggy a:visited { color: #8080FF; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; }.siggy a:hover { color: #FF0000; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; } </style><center><table span class="siggy" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" width="426" id="AutoNumber2"><tr><td><table border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" width="100%" id="AutoNumber2" height="103"><tr><td align="center" width="20%" height="83"><img border="0" src="http://www.henheart.com/ezstuff/washu29a.jpg" width="261" height="384"></td><td align="center" width="120" height="73" valign="top"><b><a href="http://pub92.ezboard.com/bmidnightlagoonmessageboard">Midnight Lagoon</font></a></b><p><b><a href="http://www.henheart.com/yabbse/">Henheart's Universe</font></a></font></b></p><p><b><a href="http://pub116.ezboard.com/banimecommunity71285">Anime Community</font></a></b></td></table></td></tr></table></center></div></p><i></i>

Whenever I start to feel angry or stressed, I then try to rationalize things and ask myself if it truly is worth getting stressed or angry over it.<br><br>Surprisingly, there's almost never a situation truly worthy to get stressed on. <br><br>You just need to tell yourself that you're trying to handle any situation in the best way possible and that all bad things resulting from it were inevitable. Accept the fact that they were inevitable, that they had to happen and there you go! Nothing could have been done at that precise point in time to avoid the problem! <p></p><i></i>

My usual causes of stress are mainly my other siblings... to get rid of the stress I either just go into my room and start listening to some music or play one my fighting games.<br><br>Taking it out on people in a video game is better than doing it to real people... a reason why 'some' violent games are good to keep around. <p><img src="http://www.tenchi-web.com/top_img/top_02_04.gif" style="border:0;"/><br><div style="text-align:center">On the road again...

I do a couple things:<br>1) Fool around with weapons. Sometimes ill go down to a range, and just unload a few clips from my 44 mag pistol, or Ill borrow my uncle's AR 15 and fire a few clips out in full auto. Its not all that smart, I dislocated my wrist a few times firing my 44. E<br><br>2)Drive REAL fast in my car, but always in a safe place<br><br>3)Run, I run a few miles, it helps relax me and allows me "alone time" to think <p> <br>"I'm the greatest, and I can't possibly be beat!- Cassius Clay aka Muhammed Ali<br><br><br>"I am become death, the destroyer of worlds"- Robert Oppenheimer<br> </p><i></i>

Several people at my school tend to piss me off and stress me out all the time. I usually just take my anger out on them by kicking them in the shins with my boots. ^.^ My boots tend to leave huge bumps, though... ^^;;<br><br><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>Or play a nice game of GTA3 and use cheats, stand on roof, and shoot at the innocent ppl! <hr></blockquote><br><br>That works too. <p><center><table><border=3 cellpadding=5 cellspacing=3><tr><td><center><a href="http://pub39.ezboard.com/bdabestmessageboard" border="0" target="new"><img src="http://www.dimensionalstars.com/anthynutenasig.jpg" border="0" alt="Stand rigid for the next battlePeace means reloading your gunsThe love for life is all hatred in disguiseA carnival creation with masks undone"</a></td><td><center><font face=Tahoma><font size=1>The apparition of two faces in disgust<br>Invisible, but yet so clear<br>Reflections seen by a fugitive<br>Trying to escape the looking glass<br>Blood runs from open wounds of false flesh<br>The one in front of the mirror exceeds the image<br>Eager to leave further, but chained still<br><P>To crumble into such nothingness<br>A despairing fate, for your lies <br>To pretend is the lunatic's legacy<br>Privileged to bolt the nails of heresy<br><P>Born lifeless into a world of coma<br>As the chronic sufferer trapped in paradise lost<br>Missing insinuations of what life was meant to be<br>Angels and demons, a march man's bewildering hosts<br></td></table></p><i></i>

Mowing grass or cleaning my house or car usually helps, when all I want to do is scream or hit somebody.^_^ <p><img src="http://www.madkukkii.com/nat/nunatt2a.jpg" style="border:0;"/> "Perfect innocence is sometimes more suspicious than darkness"</p><i></i>
