Artistic painting, Journaling, Reading or Meditation music. 
These are so wonderful, amiable!! 
@Starmedia
It depends from person to person, but some of the ways that help me relax are -: Journaling , Listening to music while taking a walk , watching some feel good videos /movies /shows etc ; if nothing else works, taking a nap always does work xD
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Yes, it does depend from person to person, Sunshine.
Journaling, listening to music, taking a walk, watching feel good videos/movies/shows and taking a nap. These are great ways to deal with stress, Sunshine!! 
@Starmedia
Thanks Star

@Starmedia
Thank you for the question Star! It's a good thing that people have their own little ways in dealing with stress because it helps you gain more control when you know just how to manage it. It is also important to know what things can help you destress so you can use them effectively.
Personally, I listen to classical music, write poetry or watch some anime because it helps distract me :D
@DaisyDaph
You're welcome, Daphnie! So true, knowing what works for us and how to manage our emotions is so important. 
I agree with your thoughts, it can definitely help us gain more control on our emotions and use the tools that help us destress more effectively.
Classical music, writing poetry and watching anime (I like them too ^^) Sounds great!!
Classical music, poetry, and anime sound like great ways to distract yourself, I may have to try one or two of these 😊
@JustAThought3244
Nice to know you want to try, thought!
@Starmedia
What are the top 3 ways you deal with stress?
In no particular order, I:
-Contact a member of my support group
-Listen to music that matches my mood and what is influencing it
-Read/watch things that are either funny or remind me of the innocence of my childhood
Thanks for the discussion! ^_^
@TheAutumnWitch
Contacting member of support group; Listening to mood matching and influencing music; Reading/watching funny/childhood Innocence reminding things. Such an adorable answer, Autumn.
You're so welcome! ^^
Ha easy.. first joke about it as long as you can.. then start stressing about being stressed and finally when the it gets too stressful to be stressed about being stressed just find a peaceful place where nobody is present and cry you heart out. Oh and the most effective one is sleep *~*
@ChasingShadows
Aww Shadows. ^^ *hugs* And, your answer makes sense! Sometimes joking about our stresses may help us in minimizing the intensity of the stress. And, crying itself is a release of emotions, and often can be healthy in a way too. It's okay to cry. ^^ Also, sleeping does help us relax too.
@Starmedia haha aww *hugs* \(@_@)/ The post was a little bizzare but thanks for being so sweet about it. Crying and sleeping helps yes and humour can be a way to let out things for some who usually find it hard to open up. The things that actually takes my mind off of stress is to work for whatever thing that I'm stressed about and if it's something I can't do anything about then doing something I like helps maybe painting or drawing a sketch, baking (even if I fail :3), going out for a walk or talking to someone I trust about it ^^❤️
@ChasingShadows
Thanks for sharing dear Shadows, I hope you're safe, staying strong and taking care of yourself wherever you are.
I play guitar to myself, go on a long walk around the neighborhood (there's a pond close to where I live), or text a friend I trust. Usually talking out loud about what is stressing me out helps the most, even if it's just to myself.
@thoughtfulAvocado3531
Playing guitar to yourself, going on walks, texting a friend you trust, talking out loud about the stresses. Those are really nice ways to deal with stresses, Avocado!
By working, listening to music, or driving.
@JustAThought3244
Working, listening to music or driving! Sounds relaxing and productive!
The 3 top ways I deal with stress and it works for me ...
1. Go for a walk and listen to music
2. Stare outside my window and focus on the sounds outside / how calm everyone looks but could be also going through the same stresses as me
3. Draw or do mindful colouring :)
@Waterfall26
Going for walk, listening to music, focusing on the sound or noticing calmness outside the window , drawing & mindful coloring! This is definitely a wonderful list of activities. Sounds calming and de-stressing!
1)listening to motivational music 2)meditation using binaural songs 3) self affirmations
@purpleNickel4685
Motivational music, binaural songs for meditation, self-affirmation! Very lovely and sounds relieving!
