What do you do to unwind if you are very stressed?

Ended my workday 2 hours ago but I still feel very stressed from all the things that went on and which I'll have to solve in the upcoming days 😭 But now I can't seem to relax in between.

Taking a bath or shower I find helps me clear my head.

As far as work I'd list down everything that needs to be done. It means you then don't need to remember everything you have to do just the list and work methodically through it.

Netflix

I change into comfortable clothes, take an edible, and zone out into a good book or play The Sims.

@DearAmbellina2113 I love playing the sims too 😍 Haven't played it in a while cause I need to clean up my hard disk, keeps freezing due to lack of space probably 😭

Lay on bed and fall asleep if possible..

@SW-User I sleep very uneasy when I go to bed while still feeling stressed 😅

Take a looong Walk. Drink something warm with a nice book. Do something with your hands, be it manual / work or arts and crafts. It soothes me, hopefully it will soothe you too. Social support is also important - stay in touch with someone you trust. However, when I am stressed I prefer to relax alone for a while before talking to others.

depends on the time of day... during daylight go for a walk or a bikeride with a poscast or some good uplifting music..

later... well.. .check SW for a mindshift

Tap into my imaginations is like watching my own TV.

Instead of stressing about anything. Just to entertain myself.

But not sure if that works for you

sirenofthesea · F

I go on Pinterest.com and I look up ways to cure a bad/stressful day.
I also journal everything out or post on my blog.

robb65 · 56-60, M

I have an old motor home parked out in the woods. When I'm stressed I like to slip off out there for a little alone time.

Reject · 26-30, M

I stop everything in my life and have a really long conversation with myself. However long it takes to come up with a game plan.

Book a table in your favorite Italian grotto downtown, take off for the evening, lose yourself in the warmth and the crowds.

Continue the theme and play Very stressful competitive first person shooters.

monellla731 · 46-50, M

what happened?

kimmy159 · F

@monellla731 Long story short, joined a company in January. Previous person left before I joined. The accountancy was a mess, had to close bookyear 2020 and start booking halfway in 2021 (their accountancy year runs from June not January). There were more than 500 documents missing and invoices that had not been booked. Everything was booked by the accountants and they did so manually, I automized as much as I could and started to take over the bookings since I joined.
My boss and I had a meeting with the accountants to close bookyear 2021 now that had ended end of June but none of us had the time before to work on the closure. They had a huge fuck up on Friday and my boss called them up angrily and sent a lawyer's letter to them. Today they sent a message at 6 pm saying they quit as our accountants so I will have to do the tax declaration for September by myself (I already did all the preparations before so I can do it, but they have the key to the government portal to log in and I'm not authorized), I will also have to find a new accountancy office to support us with the fuck ups they have done over the year and corrections, all while also being responsible right now for HR, Finance & Office management in the company and I have to arrange onboarding for a person from the UK and set up a company there first 😭 my mind is exploding from all the work pressure.

monellla731 · 46-50, M

@kimmy159 wow that is rough i hope it works out for you I am so sorry

Coralmist · 41-45, F

@kimmy159 Take a big deep breath. Say, I am ok. The world is ok. Now, in this moment. Living NOW is key to calmness, truly. You will chip away at each issue, and things will be done , not a moment sooner or later. 🦋🐞
