Managing stress

Put the top down, get out on the highway, and open it up. Having said that, can't think of any real stressors.

Mid 70s today. Put the top down, got out on the highway, and opened it up. It's a narrow window of opportunity.

Alcohol-nope. Anxiety and hangovers are bad combo.
Drugs- nope. Never have done a street drug.

To manage: workouts, for sure. And the same as other posters listed: movies, music, reading, games. Things that keep your mind occupied.
Staying on schedule. Sleep my 7 hours.
Mindfulness-stay in the moment. No need to think of a million what if’s.

For panic attacks (I have had a few) deep breathing. I forget to breath. Breath in for 5 seconds, hold for 5, exhale for 5. Repeat.

Meditation- Nope.
Triggers-living in Quebec and some people
Yoga and workouts for sure. Wife and I do these things together and it serves to help us focus on the here and now. We're both retired so no work stress.

I drink (bourbon and beer mostly), but not a lot and certainly not to relieve stress. Weed is my go to relaxant. My muscle and joint pain goes away, and it just relaxes me in general. Definitely enhances the sex. However, I've found yoga and weed don't mix. Not well anyway, and the results are hilarious.
 
How do you cope? What triggers the most stress in your life?

Do you turn to alcohol or drugs? Or maybe you're into meditation. Does music or television help to take your mind off things?

I have a lot less stress in my life these days than I did 15 years ago. Sometimes I think to myself, how the fuck am I alive? I've pretty much tried every way under the sun to feel less stressed.

Have you tried eating pussy? ;)
 
I'm finding it so hard with these restrictions. I was coping by playing video games but I'm even sick of those now. Just want my normal life back
 
Sailing is good. I used to have a day sailer.

Golf can be kind of zen too.
 
Ha, I’m down with the Bond woman.

And Daly makes mucho bank on that brand.

There is something to be said about an activity where women will willingly doff their clothes just so they can lounge around naked in front of you for hours on end, versus trying hit a little white ball with a mallet into a hole several hundred yards away.
