How To Destress Oneself?

Okay.. You may laugh.. but I promise you this works... :) 1. Get rid of as many of the people and issues you can in your life that cause you stress....Sometimes, this may mean making changes that you might not necessarily want. 2. Blogging.. unless you are losing sleep or getting yourself involved in something emotionally deep, should not be causing you anxiety! 3. Make sure that you are getting enough comfortable, uninterrupted rest... 4. Get fresh air often, and make sure that if you're usually stationary that you are getting some movement or stretching about once an hour. 5. Spend a day outside.. Enjoy the world 6. Spend some time with the elderly, home bound, or a child. 7. Read a good book on your porch at sunset 8. Blow bubbles 9. Play with an animal 10. Go to a fountain or watersource.. Close your eyes and simply enjoy the mist splashing you and the sounds around you. 11. Go do something that you normally would not do. Lie on your back and count the stars.. Watch the sunrise or sunset.. Soak in the tub or take a long shower. 12. Aromatherapy is good... Some relaxing scents are lavender, rose petal, sandalwood, cedar, and patchouli. Citrus scents are also good. 13. Watch a good hearted family movie or comedy Good luck :)

Hope you are feeling better now. Too much blogging? I dont really know what that means. If you mean talking about yourself online in your website log than it should be a form of expressing yourself and thus be a method od destressing. How do i destress myself? I listen to music, hangout with friends and play online games. I suggest you chat to friends online and maybe talk about your problems and stuff. I am no professional but these are the things I do. Lastly, think positive!

hi renaclaire when I am really uptight I do oneof two things. I find that chocolate bar,the dark semi sweet one and nibble chocolate.Or I get myearphones on and tune into myfavorite classical music by Mozart and sometimes when I am really stressed I combine the two and eat chocolate and listen to my favorite classical music. way to go for me.

Oh Reana, Are you alright now? No wonder you were told to reduce your badminton! To me blogging IS destressing myself. If I am unable to go online to blog for more than a couple of days, I find it discomforting. Blogging is where I find my calm and shares whatever is bothering me. It is also a place to share my happiness. At the end of the day, I destress by sleeping. Sleeping is very important. I do hope your results will come back clear Reana.

hey my dear claire.. be aware and take good care of yourself.. but I sure know you have good ways to de-stress yourself, with all the good food, good people and good children that you are having.. Anyway, for me to de-stress, is basically simple.. I need to have chocolates! every time I feel the attacks coming, I will sure gobble down a bar of chocolates just to have the sweet suger to cheer myself up.. and then, I will just go find something to cook.. some friends say, isn't that more stressful since I need to think and work while I cook, but this is what I enjoy the most.. and then I will go to my blog, and blast the whole lots of this and feel better after that.. well, I believe this kind of situation happens some time in life, and just of this kind of sign, makes us think we got to slow down our pace, and smells the flowers along the path.. have a nice day..

i usually go to a coffee shop and spend a couple of hours there. i love the whole feel, relaxed environment and ambiance a coffee shop offers. i also take a shower then have a loooong sleep to de-stress myself. hehe :)

I am the same with you. I get to play music and sing. Or hanging out with friends and telling my anxiety.

If you have these spasms, it's wise to have a medical check. Your body is giving signals that something is not right. One way to destress is to turn to your religion for calmess. I do that. Sometimes I'd just watch TV or surf the net and look for chat friends. Good that you're feeling better now :)

Hello Reanaclaire , so many times my friends also have put this question to me and I have always suggested this. Laugh wholeheartedly. Take the smallest chance to laugh very loudly. Certainly after some time you will feel relaxed and less tense. It is a tested method by me.I do this only. I do not miss one single chance to laugh ,laugh.

DE-Stress , wow, what a very complicated word .. For me , being a hospital employee working on 12-jour and sometimes 16-hour shifts really is very stressful , but sometimes im too busy to think that i am so stressed. What I usually do to unwind is to read books that would deliver myself to a good sleep , sometimes a read books that make my self being carried away , blogging and being online id fun and relaxing enough , music of my type can soothe away trobled mind and baking ang cooking helps in time when i dont want to think of the things that stresses me..

i think you should do meditation :) that's a really good way of removing all the stress in you. i do meditation daily and i feel great doing so. and you should try to focus your mind you should not get involved in many arguments and fights this is how you can be destressed at least i use this method which doesn't ever keeps me in stress and i feel fresh and relaxed all the time. thank you.

I have the similiar problem with you several months ago, The most easiest method is to go outside. You need a relax.

Sorry to hear about the spasms. I have them too when Im stressed. I also develop a red rash sometimes. When I need to destress, I go for walks by the seaside or I do something that relaxes my mind like listen to soothing music and sometimes I do yoga or work out. I play the guitar, too, and that sometimes helps as well. Blogging helps when I want to vent but for absolute relaxation i steer clear of the computer because I tend to just work on my projects when I'm on. What works for me would be walks and music.
