What an interesting day this has proven to be.

If anyone has any suggestions for constructive methods to deal with stress, feel free to discuss them here.

Eat. But, like, celery and carrots.

[pianississimo]

That seems unlikely at best to help destress anyone but a rabbit.

[solveforx]

Yeah, but I was trying to think constructive. Benders of the regular and ice cream variety are probably right out.

I guess you could exercise. Or, like, knit? Is that relaxing?

[lovelacing]

That depends on what you knit.

[solveforx]

Yeah I guess trying to knit a mobius strip might be a little, like, trying.

[lovelacing]

Möbius strip scarves are not uncommon, actually. I have seen a few patterns for them.

[solveforx]

Mathy and fashionable. I like it.

Gord claims knitting is relaxing but I've never found it anything except fucking frustra irritating.

What constitutes as constructive? And what are you stressed about

[pianississimo]

Not me. I'm fine. I'm just noticing a lot of turmoil in others.

[bambae]

Most of the turmoil in others can probably be solved for a period of time by getting drunk.

[pianississimo]

I said 'constructive,' Chris.

[potionz]

Tea?
Meditation?

[bambae]

what constitutes as meditation?

[potionz]

The goal is focus, mindfulness, a sense of inner [...] quiet? Calm?

So -- whatever works for a person, I think.

I like to lie on my bed and count my breaths, or go out to the Pitch and fly as high as I can?
My senior project potion requires a lot of stirring, so [...] That helps sometimes.

We enumerate the reasons for our stress and cut up that piece of paper we've written it down in into a thousand tiny pieces. We burn those pieces one by one.
