What is your go-to method for releasing stress and tension?

Deleted User

Some I found elsewhere:

  • Exercising / Moving
  • Breathing Techniques
  • Info Dump
  • Journaling
  • Paying attention to senses in a quiet space (maybe a dark place or somewhere in nature.)
  • All stimming techniques.

Personally, I use jogging, Wim Hof Breathing and Hot Showers. Stims as well but sometimes they actually make me more anxious.

I would do screaming therapy because it feels natural at times, but it's impractical (neighbours or people nearby).

  • Hello   :) 

    I have my quiet mornings, so I wake up early, make myself some brekkie and while I am drinking tea/coffee I do some bird watching, I also exercise every morning for 5-15 minutes, I journal once a week or when I am really stressed, I also paint every morning, go for a one-hour-walk in the afternoon/evening, and watch one episode of doctor who in the evening, basically I incorporate my stress relieving techniques in my routine. 

    Also I've tried breathing techniques and meditating but that makes me more stressed and it's definitely something I can't keep in my routine, and when I say I tried it's because I really tried, meditiation only helps me in very specific cases but I usually know when it's gonna be good.
