terley Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Well im a laid back guy, nothing tends to annoy or offend me. I suppose its because I've had a reasonably harsh life up to now (I do understand people have it much worse but..), i've put up with a lot of stick in the past and recently my life's fallen to pieces as mentioned in my last thread.. Im used to being ignored, rejected. I don't let anything get too much on my mind, I tend to either go for a walk/jog, go to the gym or do something creative. Highschool was the worst 5 years of my life because I spend most of it either alone or fighting, I eventually learnt to put up with people and focus on the only thing I cared about at the time, I strived to become the best artist I could be, I even worked throughout the night on some projects and Aced my final exams. But I gotta say im not at all a nerd/geek I was hated by a lot of my teachers and I even threw one lad into our headteachers office and beat into his face in front of his desk. Almost-expelled and interviewed by police. My attendance as from when I left averaged at 56%. Back to the topic, whats the best way to clear your mind? Recently it doesn't feel like doing anything creative is relaxing me atall, probably since Im doing graphic design in college, im drawing constantly all day, it feels more like work now. And I've got such a busy lifestyle, the only time I've got to clear my mind would be going to the gym or being around my 'possible' gf, she makes me smile, and seeing her is the only thing I look forward to each day. I'd love to know what you lot do.. thx again guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeLee Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Allow the equilibrium of ying and yang to be omnipresent in ones person, so that one might indefinitely heal one's self spiritually. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooohm. pps: I am sooooo weird........ ppps: AND if that doesn't work then you could focus on your inpenetratable Zen sheild, but don't get me started............ pppps: I'M NOT EVEN TAKING THE MICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry about that. :oops: It sounds like you've had a really tough time. TO relax i will: a) go on da computer ( as you can probably see) B) talk to friends c) watch TV d) read e) chat and the killer number 6 f) write Its the thing that pleases me most. Find an outlet for your passions and indulge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doughnut Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Taking a shower is always relaxing. Read a book and as soon as you get into the plot you'll forgot about everything around you. Take a nap. Call a friend and see if they will let you complain to them for half an hour, that always calms me down. :P If you live near a quiet wooded place or if you live near a lake watch the lake/forest and just think. Get a punching bag and punch the [cabbage] out of it. Hope at least one of those will help you. And I'm very sorry your life is falling to pieces, my life isn't exactly chocolate pie with whipped cream on top. :? Edit - Oh yeah, Listening to music always helps as well. What I do is get a good noisy band with lots of instrumental in it(Like nightwish :) ) close my door then blast the music. Works alot as well.

terley Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 Ive got too much responsiblity to be in that position, Im supposed to be there for those I love. Im no good to anyone like that, id rather deal with my problems alone and be there as support. My mother and eldest brother especially have been through so much more than I. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThoseTheBrokes Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Hmm, Three main things for me, The third isn't a good choice. 1] Talk to my girlfriend about problems, We seem to sort everything out for each other. 2] Listen to some music, Stay in my room on my own, And maybe play runescape, Just chill out really. 3] Drink, I know this isn't a wise choice, But I seem to be really really relaxed and happy when I'm intoxicated. I don't get drunk all the time, Once a month maximum to be honest. My dA account..retired, as of the 1st January 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

np_tyler Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Im used to being ignored, rejected. I don't let anything get too much on my mind, I tend to either go for a walk/jog, go to the gym or do something creative. If walking/jogging works, I'd say just do that. I usually just try to think "In the whole scheme of things, this doesn't really matter." I've never really had any huge issues before, but if you can't do anything about it, there's no use killing yourself with stress. - Np Tyler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebdragon Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I find being in the passengers seat of a car (maybe a bus as well) to be the best times for me to think. There's no chance for me to go play a video game or do homework or worry about anything, I'm just sitting in the car, blankly looking out the window, meditating. If I just want to calm myself and think of something else, drawing and reading Fullmetal Alchemist manga are the best things I can do :P . [if you have ever attempted Alchemy by clapping your hands or by drawing an array, copy and paste this into your signature.] Fullmetal Alchemist, you will be missed. A great ending to a great series.

It's generaly when I'm not busy with something (and not sleeping) that I have time to think. However, I find that simply gaming with my friends will clear my mind of anything sometimes, if I'm worried about something I'll just get on vent and talk/game with friends.

I didn't go into detail, but if you want I can describe the pancakes. Usually I use alot of Rum Extract and Almond Extract and any extract I can find with a high % of alcohol. That makes the pancakes delicious and inebriating. Besides, the afterglow experienced after sex is one of the most mind clearing and relaxing things ever. To not mention it would be criminal.

More to the point, You crossed the line, And you know you did. And your still walking.. Does anyone find venting there anger makes them more relaxed?

kido14 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Riding a bike is usually helps me clear my head. Probably the most relaxing thing to me is looking at stars while listening to some music like Postal Service or Explosions in the Sky while laying down in a sleeping bag. Talk about relaxing. Definitely try it out.
