What do you do to lower your stress ?

Phate · 5 Jul 2008 at 18:01

Music, depends what I'm stressed about

**** or **** or punch something.

Sleeping will only aggrivate it and messing up your sleep pattern will stress you out even further. It's a viscious circle.

Exercise is a good way to let off some steam but I also find a quiet round of golf by myself works wonders.

Failing that, a hand shandy.

Hard to argue with.

For me it has to be a nice game of pool on my own.

Oh I forgot, snooker helps me out lots. Are you ever down at Mile End Pool Club, btw?

My bet would be that he got 20 miles away, pooed himself, and called the woman in his life (mum/missus) to come pick him up

All the time when i'm at Uni. I don't like it though. They've got one in Upton Park which is miles better.
If you're around in Uni Sept time i'll give you a game.

Ah yes, you've finished by now, my last exam is July 24th :\

I heard the Upton Park one was dodgy! Might have to check it out some day.

Ricochet J · 5 Jul 2008 at 18:36

Well i'm still local, about 30 mins away so don't mind popping by during a revision break of yours. Upton Park one is bigger, but slightly less dodgier than the Mile End one

How did you make it 9?

Burnsy2023 · 5 Jul 2008 at 18:38

I drive, usually around the New Forest.

Not the cheapest stress relief but it works

The age old internet rule of exaggeration. Divide by 8 and add 4.

Excellent

Before I started running I thought distance was at least 3 x further
eg 1 mile would be 3 miles.
I remember arguing with one runner about how far he'd gone.
I worked it out as 15 mile and he insisted on 5 so I got in my car and it was 5.
It was then I realised that proper runners knew exactly how far they went.
There was somebody on here a few months ago who reckoned they walked 1 mile in 10 mins :eek:

That means they walk as fast as I run - yeah OK.
