I need some feedback from forum members.
In your opinion, what's the best way to do release your stress and why do you think it is so?
I'm looking forward to your advice.
Thank you in advance.

My most enjoyable way of releasing stress is to sit back with my favorite music playing and doing deep breathing exercises with my eyes closed. I take a deep breath and hold it a few seconds until I can feel my brain get "light", then I slowly let the breath out through my open lips.

Hi babyquacker,
Thanks for you advice. I agree with you on doing a correct breath technique will release our stress. But it's hard to make my brain get "light" as you mentioned.
Some people also advice me to SHOUT loudly as possible. I don't know about anyone else, but this does not help me. Maybe a bit, not entirely since after I shout, I somehow feel angry.

You should have an aquarium with colorful fresh water fishes.
or have a dog. playing with them will help you release stress.
hangout with your friends play monopoly. Its fun though your old. it will help.
have a massage , go to a nice spa.
call your loveones and have a nice chat.
You should take your daily vitamins. Stress can fasten aging.

Hi Izrul,
I have lots of ways to manage my stress, but one way I particularly love is to sit back with some beautiful, relaxing music playing in the background, close my eyes, and picture myself in a beautiful, serene place that is special to me. It may be a pristine white beach, a lush meadow with birds singing, or the top of a mountain with an amazing view. Just spending a minute or two in this beautiful place I've created in my mind's eye helps me to release my worries and center myself. When I open my eyes I have more energy and feel great!
Hope this helps.
Warmest, Kim

I've recently discovered a great de-stresser. Putting together puzzles. You have to focus on what you're doing and it gets to be a passion-finding that one piece you're looking for.
I used to think puzzles were kind of a waste of time, tho I did love doing them. Now I feel the world fall away when I concentrate on putting a puzzle together.
I recently bought a 2000 piece puzzle that I'm going to glue to a board and put on my wall when I'm finished. I guess I still can't get past the idea it should have some practical use-lol.

Going for a run eh... hhmmm I think I will try it, lughnassa007.
Candice25, I love your tips. Although it is simple to do but somehow I forget to do it myself. Thanks a lot.
Coach_Kim_L, I've done your technique before and I must say, it does work. Just wanted to give a tip to people who want to try this. Listening to good music is the key here. The best music to hear is a music with no vocal or singer. I usually hear Kenny G's music when doing this technique. It works so well indeed.
Hey joanj, this is totally new for me. I never think of that. I will definitely try this and let everybody know the outcome.

I think the best way to relieve stress is some form of exercise. I have anger issues and I found that a punching bag really helps with that as well as gives a good workout.

I like the deep breaths and quiet music techniques, I'm sure each of us reacts well to different combinations of things!
I also like to remind myself that no matter how stressed I get about something, there are people out there who have no food to eat and who are scared to go outside their hut. It helps me to put things into perspective.
