Stress Relievers

Hi Vincenza,
 
I feel the most stressed at home when there is too much noise. The noise in my enviroment, coupled with the noise in my head so to speak, is too much. I go to a quiet place, or quieter at least, where there are no people and I simply sit by myself for a little while. I find this calms me down and I can deal with the noise/stress again. Luckily my entire family and extended family realize this and accept it.
 
It also helps me to clean/tidy up to relieve stress at work. If my work space is messy then I get less done and feel more stressed. Taking time to clean up means I get more done and feel more accomplished.

Hi Vincenza
 
I'm not a wholesome chap, so my favourite stress reliever is smoking. Sorry about that
Aside from that - listening to music, playing video games, sex, sleeping.

    Going out with friends
    Equal work-life balance
    Spirituality or Religion
    Keeping a daily planner
    De-cluttering your space
    Leaving 15 minutes earlier for appointments or work
    Relaxing your standards – the world will not fall to pieces if the laundry is left for tomorrow.
    Earplugs for noisy environments or 15 minutes of quiet
    Focus on understanding as opposed to being understood, really listen to the other person.

What’s your favorite stress reliever?
