forre, thanks for that ... coming @ a perfect time for me

So, are you stressed?

.. just starting to get stressed...realizing how much I need to do til the end of January

2. You don't need to be ready with everything.

ahhhh...but there is still too much that needs to be ready!

3. Switch off your phone from time to time.

ehh, actually, time on the phone is one of my fav ways of relaxing

5. Shut down your computer.

I will definatelly have to listen to that one!

6. Take a walk in the sun or in the rain.

I also like that one a lot - esp. living in a place where 'car' means 'leaving' ...not enough walking for sure!

8. Take your time to learn the art of just being.

I have... and enjoy it too much, so near dead lines I get stressed!

1. Avoid getting interested in everything.
- Can be quite hard.
2. You don't need to be ready with everything.
- I agree and I am not.
3. Switch off your phone from time to time.
- Have done it many times.
4. Everything doesn't need to go fast.
- In my case problem is that things should go faster than they
do now.
5. Shut down your computer.
- No problem.
6. Take a walk in the sun or in the rain.
- I do that almost every day.
7. Appreciate common tings.
- I do.
8. Take your time to learn the art of just being.
- Not so easy.
9. You have the right not to be useful and productive all the time.
- I know and I`m not.
10. Treat yourself with a few hours of doing nothing or
something for yourself.
- I can easily spend few days doing something just for myself.

Apparently I`m not stressed at the moment...

3. Switch off your phone from time to time.

ANYTHING but that...

The others are def. worth a shot tho! thanks Forre

[spyretto]

...that sounds like a permanent vacation to me...

[Lena410]

Thanksforre!

well my problem is that I get interested in everything and I treat myself too often with hours of doing nothing or doing things I like rather than work.

Did you test, personnally this revolutionary method, Forre?... ...
-->... Not to FIX the problems, to have phone & computer out of "service", out of working...and to walk during hours under the Rain..(for exemple 3 hours..hehe..)....
That slackens really your nerves?

If you guarantees to me that it works and gives good results, I will try....

I have tested it back in August. Works fine for me ..
3 hours in the rain???? Well, it will shut down not only your nerves but a whole nerve system I'm afraid, unless you are not a reptile.

2. You don't need to be ready with everything.
4. Everything doesn't need to go fast.
9. You have the right not to be useful and productive all the time.

Ha ha, it sounds like my daily life!

5. Shut down your computer.

Totally unacceptable, my computer is on 24/7, i never shut it down! (gotta like Unix based systems )

So, are you stressed?

I don't remember ever being stressed in my life. Well, maybe when i passed my baccalaureat when i was 18... But barely.

[QueenBee]

Intehresting..

1. Avoid getting interested in everything.

That's my way of life..

2. You don't need to be ready with everything.

I go to school, so that answer is not acceptable

3. Switch off your phone from time to time.

There wouldn't be any difference.. Nobody ever calls me. I use my cellphone as an alarm clock! Haha.

4. Everything doesn't need to go fast.

Of course.. But now that I have many things to do, I need to do each one fast in order to finish the next one that I haven't even started.. *stars feeling sick*

5. Shut down your computer.

*Heart-attack*

6. Take a walk in the sun or in the rain.

I have some kind of walking-outside-phobia. I never leave the house except to go to school. Otherwise I stay at home. And there's nothing to discuss there

7. Appreciate common tings.

Such as? I have nothing to feel happy for.

8. Take your time to learn the art of just being.

Hmm well if you never leave the house you learn that quite early in life..

9. You have the right not to be useful and productive all the time.

Not according to my teachers Kill em all, I say.

10. Treat yourself with a few hours of doing nothing or something for yourself.

Hehe.

well, sounds like you are too relaxed up there in sweden....maybe some time spend somewhere else will be good for ya..somewhere more south...like Paris maybe ...little 'stress' in your life, he heeeeeeee

[russkayatatu]

thanks forre interesting: it sounds like the best way to de-stress is to cut yourself away from everything/everyone and just be by yourself for a while - in my case - isn't the best idea probably I go for walks and do things for myself all the time though ahhh, but I'm not stressed enough, I think: spending too much time not learning anything, being bored and unproductive ... it's frustrating when you're stuck doing things that you think are pointless right now ...
