All of the above. Some good music can help too. I stopped drinking alcohol several years ago, but honestly that always seemed to increase stress one way or another. And unfortunately I still like to have a chew sometimes if that counts, I know I shouldn't but dammit I enjoy it so much lol.Quote:

I like to get outside. Climb a mountain. Go hiking. Primitive camping. Kayak/canoe. Nothing bothers me out there.
LSD
Making music
Meditating
Making new friends
Music is the only thing that I can really add to that list.
I like to design and build stuff for fun, but that may not apply to you.
Bagwork.
Trip to the gun range
add to that: Ashwagandha
driving at or near your limits
BJs
I'm surprised you didn't add MJ to that Scope.Quote:

Ooohhh yeah I forgot about this one. I broke the heavy bag at our gym though and they haven't fixed it...Quote:

You scared them. ;-) Back before I set up my home gym, when ever I decided to go hit the bag, all the cardio bunnies looked disturbed at the violence. Also there was a character that would come in and make "karate" noises when he Jackie Chan-ed the bag. Next thing you know the bag is gone. When they put a sign out that said please be quiet when dead lifting, I knew it was time to be on my way.Quote:

Absolutely agree with this. I'm actually asking for my lady friend to see how I can her out. Very good advice thoughQuote:

For those who aren't aware of it, it is meditational programme for dummies. The noises that come throught the headphones put your mind into meditational states deeper than experienced zen monks, which creates more positive pathways in the brain for future use. It works really well too.
Can't beat bagwork though IMO, 300 million years of evolution has made guys really enjoy punching things, and in the modern world, you get in trouble for that most of the time - no wonder we are stressed!
"High paying job," how about low paying job. Now that is stressful.
That is a very good point, although i had the stress free time of my life when i was in a low paid job. I guess if you are in a LPJ with kids and a mortgage then that is high stress and entirely different to bumming around by the sea as a singleton. High paid job generally brings big responsibility and high stress though.
I guess it is more about how you handle the stress than anything else. I can tell you one thing for sure, it is miles easier to handle stress with a decent hormone profile. Create a decent hormone profile and you don't even realise you're under stress, in fact you can enjoy it and thrive off it. I guess that's why people thrive on stress right up to the point when they don't, then they go into a tailspin.
Low paying jobs are typically jobs you can get away from and go to another low paying job. But I see your point.Quote:
