Pyro Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Spinoff from another thread. When you are at your worst and completely stressed out, what do you do to help rid the stress? For me its either time, a nice long relaxing walk, or I pop in a good comedy show or movie. Link to post Share on other sites
Lyssa Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 A nice long bath or a day at the spa. I find doing pilates or yoga help too. Link to post Share on other sites
sb129 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I do like to go to the gym, but often when I am really stressed I find it hard to drag myself there. I never regret going once I get there though. A bath and a glass of wine usually helps... Link to post Share on other sites
sb129 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 A movie usually helps too- but I have to go to the cinema, because there is not as much chance of distraction from the movie. Link to post Share on other sites

No, I didn't mean that, I meant that I find it hard to sit still and not let my mind wander unless I am in a darkened room and have paid to see the film. If I watch them at home, I usually try to multitask, or have my laptop on at the same time, which isn't that stress-relieving. Link to post Share on other sites

If there is a good one playing at the theater, I would go. Link to post Share on other sites
