How do you handle a long, stressful week?

The past few weeks have been extremely time consuming and stressful for me. What are some good ways to brighten the mood?

Mate, simply do what I do, pretend it's all a bad dream. Have a drink, play some wagers and look to the future.

Have a lil bit time for yourself and feel comfortable, take a hot bath and drink some tea, watch things that make you laugh and hear the music you love.

Just get out. Get some fresh air. Spend time doing what you love. Forget the stress that's overwhelming you. Release yourself from it, and focus on the happy things.

Listen to some video game music , go out and walk in the park or if you do drawing , put all your frustration onto a piece of paper .

Play games, exercise, watch TV, play sport, go out with friends, go to the cinema, join a club, go on holiday, go to sleep, listen to music, go cycling, watch the sunset, do whatever you feel is a stress reliever.

Do something that you enjoy, or hang out with your friends, drink some tea, etc.

 

Also, science has shown that there is a correlation between exercising and lowered amounts of stress as well as higher sense of well being. I know this thanks to Neuroscience class, and because my shrink recommended exercising as well

Do something that you seem to enjoy. If you can't think of anything such thing try watching some episodes of a good comedy, laughter always helps, well ya know unless you're at someone's funeral in which case i would advise against it.

if you play an instrument, i would advise just playing it for a couple hours.  if you dont play an instrument, consider picking one up if you have the money to do so.

I'm a bit of an introverted type, so normally I'll just not interact with others very much during the weekend. I'll play a game, read a book, get on the internet, maybe watch something. If it's been particularly bad, to the point where it's put me in what I call "angst mode", I might write some bad poetry or something.

 

I also tend to let myself sleep in later than normal. For example, I try to wake up by 10 AM on weekends, but if the week has been stressful I'll allow myself to sleep to 10:30 or 11.

If the weather's nice: go to a park, find a good tree or bench, put on some lovely music (maybe the 2.5 version of Lazy Afternoons), and just drift away...

 

If it's rainy: Enjoy the sound of the rain on your window.

 

If the above don't apply: play all the video games. Yes, all of them. Even that one. You know the one.

I concur with the playing Kingdom Hearts, since that's how I've dealt with this week. That aside, whatever you usually do to unwind; sleep in, have a drink, take a walk, whatever. Lose yourself in something that isn't what you're normally dealing with. Find a good TV show, maybe a comedy.
