How you handle STRESS!!!

[Fluffywolf]

I'm very stress resistant.

More work, busy busy times, they get me pumping and going even better and faster. Work related that is.

The only form of stress I have sometimes is frustration, when something isn't going the way I want to for example. And up until now I've never had much trouble shrugging that off after being grumpy for a healthy amount of time.

I have no form of stress that really lingers around. And I have a work off button so when I'm at home my thoughts are where I want them to be and only where I want them to be. And that is very stress relieving as well. To be able to seperate work or stressy environments from social free time.

Wander over to the elementary school near my house and peek in the classroom windows and try to guess which grade the classroom is, based on the construction paper/finger paint projects on the walls.

Usually long walks, I run out of city when I'm especially stressed. I once took a new printer I had bought outside and started smashing it because it wouldn't work. I don't normally do that, but I knew I had a special need at the time and the only person's money wasted was my own.

I used to be such a stress case. I needed to control everything even the stuff i had no control over.

Now i have been very fortunate of last as due to my shitty circumstances i have been able to totally re-evaluate everything.

It was so liberating as my views on so much has changed. What stress, i have no control over anything so i just accept what will be will be.
Especially over the last month i haven't had one moment where i have thought 'oh shit, what ......'?

I just take it as it comes .. If i do have a moment though, i will just reach for the pen and paper and try to come to some sort of conclusion whilst smoking (more than usual) cigarettes.

I am curious.

• How do you manage stress? (mentalities, activities, etc.)
  
• Does stress make it hard for you to focus?
  
• What do you do to stay focused?
  
• Support your answers with examples and reasoning if possible.

Thank you.
