A few thoughts:
I own a condo (with my partner) now, so there's no yardwork anymore - and to be honest, yardwork caused me stress because not one weekend would go by where some part of my yard or house needed some attention....grrr..stress. My partner on the other hand MISSES his house and yard because he RELIEVED his stress by doing yardwork and chores. So now he's replaced yardwork with housework and that's his stress relief....and there's a bonus in it for me too...he usually does his cleaning in either just underwear or naked and for some strange reason, he likes to have porn playing in the background.....WIN-WIN-WIN - DE STRESS.
Masturbation and/or Sex: Since i was a young man, masturbation has always been a great way to release stress due to the endorphans that are released during sex. Oh, and yes, given the fact that my hubby likes to clean in the nude (or just underwear), it's very common for his "cleaning chores" to be either pre-empted by sex or post-cleaning sex (i can't interrupt him during cleaning..not even for sex ahahha).
Mindless cocktails with mindless friends: We all have a friend or two who's just high-on-life and seems to not have a care in the world. When i'm vexed, i'll often send one of those friends a text message to meet me at a local bar (gay or str8) for "Adult beverages." What's great about this form of stress relief for me is that i know my friend isn't going to press me for information about my stress. He'll say, "you look stressed." And i'll say, "yep, work sucks, wanna do a shot?" And he'll say, "Honey, i'm not here for a haircut." We'll then spend the next hour or so talking about mindless stuff and laughing alot - a great cure for stress!
Finally: TV or a Movie: Similar to the mindless friend solution, i'll find a TV show or movie that always cheers me up or interests me (i love Law and Order - all of them) and just fall into a video stupor.....really good option on a rainy day.
Well....those are my favs!
