AKA There is no spoon.

If there's no spoon then how'd I eat my cereal this morning?

It is not the spoon that eats the cereal, but you who eats the cereal.

I think people should read Zen philosophy anyway, regardless of stress levels:)


The Tao of Pooh and The Te of Piglet is a very good place to start.

I work out, I used to play cs, but then I realized that made me a loser lol. Seriously though, if I am feeling down/upset, I go to the gym. If I'm angry I beat on a punching bag for a few minutes then go to the gym (not a good idea to work out angry, you are likely to hurt yourself) Same goes for stress, if I am really stressed out, I will go to the gym, workout for 2 hours or so, then come home grab a shower and just chill, or read a book.

Exercise. Best thing.

Oh, I forgot, I clean my guns if I really get stressed.

I try not to get stressed out but if I do I'll go to the gym or listen to some classical music to calm down. Then there is always the immediate solution of beating the crap out of a pillow.

Exercise, sleep, meditation, baths, sex (provided you have a partner).

lift big iron (see my sig).

you can't be stressed if all you can think about is how much your legs and back hurt.

I listen to metal and just kinda space out for a bit.
Sometimes more mellow type stuff, like Opeth, or Iron Maiden, sometimes Insane stuff such as Abigor, it really relaxes me. I dont know why, but it does.
