How do you release your pressure in life?

With your situation, I can reminisce my experience with a friend when we were applying for call center last two weeks ago. My friend was asked however by the interviewer "What is pressure?". I believe that his answer was beautiful. I could not perfectly restate it from word to word but the thought was very well delivered. The conviction he has given to the interviewer may partly come from his answer but his delivery seems to be out of calmness and explains already that he is under pressure but he is at the same time controlling it. The interviewer must have been very impressed with his answer that he was accepted. To answer this question, my only way of releasing pressure is to smile and be happy. Whenever I am pressured I often keep quiet and save energy for later and laugh hard.

I think I release my pressure when I take a bath or watch a a good scenery on the hill. It's good to release it so that you have peaceful mind.

to release my pressure in life, i called up friends and invite them to go out, like hangout with them, dine out, watch movie with them, or sometimes try to go to the province where i can take a fresh air and etc. sometimes we go to children park or amusement park where we can be like those kids that dont have any problem at all but only to play.

As for me, I would go karaoke and just sing (shout) it all out. :)

well somtimes listening to music,going out sports,morning brisk walk!going ot with friends!

usually, when im caught in a situation between anger or dismay or lets just say depression over something, i call my friends and we eat ice cream and talk about anything.Ever since, ice cream has always has been our refuge.hehe.I know it sounds childish bit really, it eases the troubles.

i think there was nothing wrong with your answer. but you could have expounded more on how music helps you release the pressure you have with your life. maybe the interviewer saw that the answer you gave was too simple and was not a direct answer to his question. we all listen to music, and very seldom do we appreciate the depth of the messages of the songs we hear, the composition, the talent behind the music, and so on. for me, i think the way i would release pressure building up in my life will be to talk to the persons involved with the "pressures" like my parents, if they are being too strict, or maybe a friend who i have not been talking with for so long, etc. to release a long term pressure helps me to enjoy the benefits of life fully and with that, i can easily let go and handle the little pressures we encounter daily.

I listen to music or read. I don't know why that answer didn't suit the interviewer, though.

From the question , the manager is asking how do you handle stress in your life. Your answer for me is just right. That is also the thing I used to do when I am stress I breathe in breathe out and I listen to music, just to change the view at the moment. When I am stressed it means there is a problem happening. I focus on the solution of the problem rather than complaining. Complaining makes things even worst. It can even makes me stressed more so I focus on the solution, I ask those person who can help me to solve it and if there is none, I will just concentrate. But to release pressure when pressure is already there, I just separate myself to people and I go to place when there is no people and I shout there. Really, I shout. I let the pressure come out of me and it will make me feel comfortable after.

Relaxing is a good way to release pressure. It really depends on a person what will make him relax. It could be music, or watching other people go about their daily living, or looking at a beautiful photograph or scenery. Some just need to close their eyes and free their minds of anything for just a few minutes and then they feel relaxed, When your mind is relaxed you get to handle the pressures in your job better because you can open your mind and think really well.

Well, it's a part of our life. When I have pressure, I feel like most problems in life this one is mostly in our minds. You can actually remove some of that pressure before it gets the best of you. Just don’t listen too much to others. Forget about perfectionism. Perfectionism is pretty pointless. Detaching from the possible outcomes and just keeping your focus on the work you are doing makes it easier to both live and live up to your potential by reducing many of your inner, mental obstacles such as performance anxiety and other worries. Eliminate some of the less important stuff. Don’t take things too seriously. This is how you can release your pressure in life and you will be cool and happy again. Try it!!

From the time that I was lucky enough to discover mylot, this has been the place that I will come to in order to release the stresses that I've been feeling in my life. I really like to come on here and just pound out all of my frustrations because of the fact that I am pretty anonymous during the time that I am online. In addition to that, there is a profit to the time that I spend on here as well. I wish that I could think of a better situation but I really can't.

Whats the name of the NEW SITE??

i don't know if pressure in one's life and existence is like prickin' a balloon to let the air out. i hope it's that easy, as you made it appear. but in life, it is better to take the bull by the horn than be friggin' needle sucker, if you know what i mean. that's also how i tackle (not release) the pressures i have in my day-to-day life.

I was a factory manager of over 30 years so there could be a lot of stress at times. What I found was amazingly relaxing is working as a maid servant. I have done this for up to a week at a time on many occasions. I have been properly trained by a professional hotelier so I can and do a proper job. At times it has been very hard work but very satisfying.

Take some deep breaths. Change my attitude towards whatever is giving me stress. Exercise. Go for a walk. I think these are all good ways of managing stress. I would also have asked the manager how he does it. I would tell him that I'm willing to learn. Give me a chance to prove myself by hiring me.

Frankly, when the pressure gets to be too much in my life, I find a place away from everyone else and scream! It lets off steam, clears my system and I'm ready to carry on to whatever needs to be done. Or, I write fictional stories, usually with animals as the characters. They are endowed with human characteristics. Last, but not least, if possible, I get a lovely massage. It's amazing how much a really good massage can relax body and mind.

walking at the beach or in the countryside, feeling the nature around you is a great way to release those pressure and to make you feel relaxed, but if you don't have the time and the chance doing meditation can help.

No one could give you pressure but yourself. So, I think we should focus on our mindsets and try to solve the problems which is the very thing I can do when facing the pressure. It's nonsence for us to release the pressure when it comes. Instead we should do something which is good for our mindsets to solve the problems then we will not feel stressed when the problems come.

I've used music to vent as well as video games. But what always works is pushing myself by putting it into my strength and go out back with an ax and split wood or chop down a tree or two, for later splitting.
