everyone has those days where you feel like your going to go into a mental meltdown.........or it just seems like the world is weighing in heavily on you and you cant wait to get home and shut the world out.

what sorts of things do you do in order to ease the stress of life?

for me, i like to come home...close all the blinds and block out all views of the outside world......put on my "sounds of a thunderstorm" cd on my stereo, sip on a goblet of champagne as i unwind in a hot bath..........and after ward i just lay quietly in the dark and let my mind recover from the day................it always helps me...........
 
Same here... I usually go to my room, shut the door. Open up a box of imported chocolate, and blast Michelle Branch, Evanescence or the Corrs on my boombox and loose myself in the music....

It usually helps me relax from a study session or really bad day or something 😉
 
when it comes to chocolate or anything like that......... i can NEVER eat anything when im stressed.........but Champagne will always help out
 
Well, it seems kinda silly but I relax by stressing over my stories 😉 I'll gladly endure a writing-enduced headache over anything else in my life 🙂
 
When I need to relax I put on my Eryka Badhu cd, close my eyes and just listen.. her music always calms me down it's very sooting.

A long nice shower and then pampering myself with a facemask and other body relaxing things always destresses me too and when I'm really stressed I do some breathing excersises.. works like a charm 😉
 
I think the only time I get to rest is when I actually go to sleep at night. I can never find the time to actually set a kind of routine for relaxation, though on the rare occasions I do listen to soothing music and do breathing exercises in drama class, and they do work I agree .

I guess the rest of the time I just...get lost in my thoughts lol.That always calms me down.
 
i think a hot bath with the incense burning and good shows on tv is the perfect relaxer, o and the jacuzzi is on of course 😉
 
music or a good book tends to calm me down-
i like to take a bath with candles lit in the dark too-
 
whenever that happens, I just go in a calm and soothing place, there was this place here called boardwalk where you can sit in the bench facing the bay and watch the sun to sink, I feel at peace and it was a perfect place to unwind, The breeze comforts me and just makes me smile..

If there was no time for me to go there, I just take a walk and buried myself into wishful thinkings and be able to stop and appreciate every thing in sight..it really helps you know...
 
i get home, get on my computer and listen to music, thinking of what happened during the day...or i just watch TV
 
i'll usually just turn on some of my music or pop in a cd like linkin park,or evanescence or something like that...i do this anyways, but it helps me to not get mad at myself when something's wrong.
 
I normally watch TV or go on the net. they normally calm me down especially if im watching Buffy, Charmed, Angel, or well you get the picture.
 
have a hot bath, listen to mistic music, have cup of herball tea, read a good book...or anoy some people on the internet.
