How do you relieve yourself of stress?

Question

Need your opinion. Do you think that I resolve myself of stress by doing what I had typed below?



Well the way I relieve myself of stress is to basically act in such a very odd matter that it confuses the hell out of everyone. It is always fun doing that and also the fact that I am not afraid of embarrassing myself in front of people thus I can committe myself to do anything without fear.

Answer 1

how to releive people from the stress you put on them

Answer 2

If I understand your question correctly, then I would say: I think that your "technique" is an interesting exercise at facing insecurities and becoming a more outgoing and socially brave person. Whether or not it leaves stress is really a personal thing. It MAY relieve stress for you....for myself I don't think that it would. Stress isn't only caused by social misunderstandings and embarassments, so your strategy wouldn't always work if you were stressed from something such as: too much work, financial obligations, etc.

Answer 3

Interesting take on how you relieve yourself of stress. I had to chuckle as I read it.
Laughter is sometimes the best medicine for us. I once attended a seminar on stress management and the instructor had us start laughing...
Acting silly would make me stressed, because it would take me out of my comfort zone. Now give me something to really funny to laugh at and laughter does relieve the stress.
Eating chocolate, painting, writing, and walking the dog are also stress relievers for me.
If what you do really relieves the stress - go for it. Then again, people that witness your actions may get stressed. lol

Exercise Regularly. Start engaging in regular physical exercise 3-5X/week for 30 minutes, like jogging, walking, swimming, biking, dancing, aerobics, etc. Exercise releases mood-enhancing chemicals, like endorphins, the mind-body's natural painkiller and mood calmer. Briskly walking 2-3 miles allows us to experience a tangible sense of accomplishment and control. When everything is up in the air, exercise helps us feel grounded. Even better if you can find an exercise buddy.

Find a Hobby. Hobbies can be active or reflective; sometimes they can be both, like gardening. Hobbies may be shared, but often it's enjoyable activity pursued or engaged in solitude. Hiking in forests and mountains work wonders for me. Helps me get perspective, step back from my troubles, see a bigger picture, be at one with nature. Also, try your hand at creative writing, poetry or keeping a journal. Research shows writing that analyzes our problems and expresses our emotions is stress relieving. If you can't discover a hobby, I'd take that as a warning sign. You may actually be depressed. Loss of interest in things we once enjoyed, or loss of vitality in general, is a common symptom.

Watch a sitcom or a comedy movie.When you laugh, you actually cause a pleasurable change in your body’s chemistry that lasts as long as 45 minutes. So take in a comedy at the movies, watch a funny television show, or invite friends over for a game of charades.

Listen to music. Music’s calming effect has been proved during dental procedures, during labor, before and after surgery, and in emergency rooms. This effect is probably due to music’s ability to distract and soothe.

Have a balanced diet. A healthy diet containing B vitamins and magnesium helps to relieve chronic tension. B vitamins are essential for stress management. Magnesium helps to ease muscle tension, stress and anxiety. When exercising to reduce stress, a balance of carbohydrates and protein is necessary.

Have adequate sleep. Sleep is the number one defense against stress. It allows the mind and body to rejuvenate. When we awaken refreshed, we are more able to handle stressful situations. For the average person, adequate sleep is eight to ten hours of uninterrupted sleep.

Share your feelings. Talking to a friend or loved one after having a stressful day is one of the great ways to relieve stress. You don’t have to go it alone.

Listen to music can also help. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgH-jWCny9U

Answer 5

I think thats very interesting, and it'll probably help. But theres easier ways, try reading a good book or yoga! hahaha
Any type of exercise automatically releases endorphins that make you feel good.

You can continue with your way if you like it, but just make sure not to go too far, theres always someone you might need to impress or be serious around.

Bottle of wine. Played with myself. Listened to music. Lit some candles. And didn't worry about homework. Not all at once. But I'm feeling pretty good.

Answer 8

i relieve my stress with either breathing in a repeated pattern or thinking about pleasures in life,such as friends, family, etc.

Answer 9

As you can see from the previous answers..everyone has something different.

I listen to heavy metal, or go read a book to take my mind off things. :D

I think if you think your meathod works, then it does. Stress is a thing of the mind, if you believe it's gone, it will be.
