stress reducers :)

So everyone has their own things they turn to to relieve stress lol I woke up to all bad news such as my ex after 4 years will be in jail or 6 months and a few other things. Well I got out my POG girl and turned on some Korn and I can't express how happy I am right now to just have these snakes in my life! To me they will always be the best thing in my life :) I will always have them, but anyways how do others relieve heavy stress?

I enjoy doing these things to reduce stress:

shooting guns
sparring and helping my family with their martial arts
getting on my tractor and moving dirt and mowing
watching my snakes and rats
working in the garage

Two big ones for me:

Both of my snakes are great stress reducers. When I feel the need to relax I get my 2 year old male normal out for some handling and it greatly chills me out. I love hanging out with my favorite boy.

I play with my cat if I've had a bad day. She's an amazing animal and always knows when I'm upset. Heck, even if I have a tummy ache or a headache and I'm laying down, she'll come snuggle up against me (normally she does not sit on people. She will sit beside you at a polite distance).

My leopard gecko is an awesome little stress reliever too.

I really want to get myself a female ball python, though. My other half has a gorgeous little male Pied (originally bought for myself), but they've clicked and now it doesn't feel like my snake, haha. So I need to get myself a little girl.

I also used to do archery to calm down if I was upset too. I'm getting back into that.

Or, baking. Nothing makes a person feel better than baking up a batch of warm chocolate chip cookies, which makes the house smell amazing, then sitting down to a handful of them with a glass of milk and channel surfing. Guilty pleasure? Absolutely.

Pet the cat. Pet the snake. Pet the trouser-snake. :snake:

I'm gonna' get banned from this forum. LoL.

Play video games. Hang with friends. Play the drums. Little green trees once in a while.

I yell like an angry cave man and then I go on a King Kong rampage and destroy everything in my path which is usually a few logs that fall victim to an axe or a big tire that I pound on with a sledge hammer. Another thing I do is burn stuff. Fire calms me down. I have yet to burn down a forest or any residential/commercial properties. :D

I'm at the gun range right now, work pissed me off like it always does...

Biking! Makes me feel like a kid every time.

I dont really get stressed. I mean i do for short little periods of time but after a bit im fine again. I dont really let things get to me and rarely get emotional like that. On the rare occasion something is bothering me, ill usually go for a long drive and that helps.

I run down to the corner store and buy like, twelve lollipops the me and my dog run up and down our street and play ding dong ditch! Lol. Or I redecorate the big giant critter nation rat cage I have my pet rats in.:weirdface

Oh, I forgot about little Indy, some days she will si on my shoulder and some days she will squirm!

have thompson pull me down the street on my longboard. or smoke one:O

I hit the gym or take my long board out for a nice cruise. 60% of the time, it works every time

x2..+ having fun with mary jane:D

Handling the Snakes , Listening to a Little "Tribe Called Quest", And Spending Quality time with Mary Jane :floating:

Praying is always number one. Shooting guns is a great stress relief. A hot bath never hurts(that could be a girl thing), and my snakes. I could watch fish all day too I think.

Motorcycle :)

Sadly the season is ending soon and I'll have to resort to indoor rock climbing.

I head to the stables for stress relief. Even if I don't go for a ride and all I do is groom, the more I brush the better I feel.
