    I have found that Enya or other smooth music can calm my soul and help keep my mind off of stuff. Beethoven, Bach, Chopin also work well.

    I usually take a warm bath with a few candles lit, the lights out, and Marley real low on the radio. It really makes me feel better when I'm done.

    Depends on the type of stress involved, a long hard day at work/school, a glass of wine, a hot meal and good Tv/book would be good.
    where as frustration would warrent maybe some exercise or a screaming session and general anxiety sex or a cone would be good... just my thoughts

    what i do for stress relief is shake the shit out of something... I have this doll with this long neck that when you pick it up and squeeze and shake the shit out of it, it makes this hilarious noise and then I dont feel so stressed out anymore..sometimes i take it and stomp on it too..

    hey mystical shroom maybe it's the wine talking but i think you're cool, there are two annoying catagories for me here 1) the really offensive... the people who think it's funny to be mean for no reason and 2) the really offended... the people who bitch and take everything here too seriously.

    you fall under neither so you're cool same with souless chaos though im not particuly a big fan of the name... :p

    leading me to my final point... do you like magic mushies :p

    Heheh, I actually use the breathing exercises that I learned in my Lamaze classes. I close my eyes, then inhale deeply through my nose, slowly exhale through my mouth. I do this repeatedly, focusing only on my breathing until I start to feel more calm. I also use visualization in conjunction to that, thinking of a place that brings me peace, such as being in the woods, smelling the earth around me, hearing the birds in the trees, the sound of a brook. It really helps with relaxing me and also aiding to help me fall asleep at night if I feel wired up.

    Peace, rest, and relaxation vibes...
