General

Life can be incredibly stressful at times but there is normally something we can do about it to help.

I'm currently doing exams at university and to say the least, I'm a little stressed!

I assume that others are doing the same or might just be a stressed in general from their job ect.

So what you do to relax and alleviate some of the stress?

I am taking eating as a given on this site What else do you do?

I would love to try some out to see if it helps at all.

Thanks in advance!

In addition to Heroin-Chic (candles, bubble bath and stuff):
swimming.

I mostly swim my frustration off, am doing some water-sports (as they don't injure my overly heavy body) or I am swimming in olympic pool (the more frustrated I am, the more meters I make )

Anyways - worthwile trying

On a second thought:

S E X ! ! !


What ever can relax you more (even if solo-sex )?

Another go:

ride a bike !

With this: on iPod (nice electronica and just the right, even, beat - not too slow, not too quick) even fatso as I can hold on till the end of workout (it is like 80 minutes).

After that I am swept, completely empty, and probably few lbs of water lighter. Which is a nice chance to compensate it with food.

Loved the ideas and decided to mix them up a little and it really worked! Heroin_chic, dan and fatFairy, you are life savers!

Must admit I have no clue why I have never gone for a bubble bath with candles before. I have really been missing out!

Now I'm too relaxed to revise lol.

Woot woot wootie woot!

Or shall I say hoot...hoot, hooter, hoot!

Herb anyone?

I like to pop popcorn, pour a large coke, lay out a smorgasbord of treats, candy, pizza, strip down into some comfy pajamas or sweats...kick back and zone out into a movie!

I know eating is obvious but there are some foods that do help you to relax.
Tryptophan; a chemical in certain foods, dairy and eggs in particular, helps with the production of serotonin, which effects mood and relaxation.

Not boring at all!

I get a great sense of tranquility from that kinda thing. I normally like having a place to be, a thing to do but it all vanishes around a mass of water.

So hypnotic
