10 Ways of Releasing Stress:
Well, that's according to me
1. Do some massage
I couldn't really afford some massage treatments in classy places, but I sometimes ask a friend to do it on me, either on my temples or on my palms. It's a soothing thing to do, especially in school.
2. Talk out loud 'til i tire of doing all the talking
Yeah, don't be surprised that I sometimes blabber too much in very stressful situations. It's just my way of saying "I'm tired, but I can't stop."
3. Surf the net (or play games)
Yep, blogging and checking mails. watching anime, reading mangas online, reading online news articles(since we don't have tv in Mandaue). I don't watch porn! no, no!
4. Watch movie
It does relieve my stress. why? it makes me escape the real me for a short while. I view other people's lives and their stories without worrying about myself and what other things to do.
5. Read books
After a stressful situation I sometimes resolve to reading books for entertainment. When I feel it's been a long time since I last read a book, probably 2-3 weeks, I find ways to check one and see if I could read it in my room, alone.
6. Play sports
Oh yeah, playing sports is also a way! It releases the tired energy out and renews body strength and alertness. I play badminton when I have time, or play catch and tennis in my room with the wall as my opponent. Call me crazy, but anyone who can't release their stress IS crazier than me, right?
7. Do some Journalism stuff
Writing stories, songs, poems and the like. They're outlets for repressed emotions for the moments that have been so pressing for quite a time. I do that whenever I feel the moment, or when trigger moments take me into action with my pen. I always take note of the thoughts that suddenly come into my mind before it vanishes, like some cute lines in conversations and some unforgettable events in the day that can be so funny or cool to recall, especially before falling asleep.
8. Listen to music
I can't live without music! It's one of my best outlets because I could finally jam and sing at the top of my lungs and be so alive. it soothes my mind, my body and my soul, and i can relax within minutes especially when i listen to soft country music.
It would also be very relaxing if it goes with star-gazing. :)
9. EAT!
Don't worry if I eat a lot after or during pressure. It's a very effective way of releasing my tension and wearied pheromones. Shucks, i LOVE to eat! Though it makes my allowance reduce into ashes, it really fattens my stomach and satisfies my physical and mental needs. Only... I have this syndrome that is so evident after I eat. It's an explainable phenomena but for me I call this a Blaise syndrome coz it's only I who manifest it clearly every after break.
I tend to feel drowsy. Really drowsy.
My brain's focus is very one-sided, right?
10. SLEEP (a long, dreamless and undisturbed sleep)
Do I have to explain this?
Well, when I'm very tired, I sleep for more than 12 hours. When I wake up, I still feel groggy. hehe!
:)
