So what methods of stress relief do you do? (nothing crude please...I've already preempted that suggestion)

Me personally, as previously mentioned, like to go on a violent game for example and go nuts. GTA and Res Evil are perfect examples.

Alternatively, I sing to my music whilst surfing etc and my all time favorite is practicing Tai Chi. That works wonders for any stress relief. That usually relaxes me.

Close but no, albums.

I'm not normally the type who takes my anger out on a violent videogame. All games are just fun to me, and playing any puts me in a decent mood.

I don't get furious angry to often, but little puffs of aggravation are a part of everyday life.

Playing some Incubus, or other, depending, and doing some relaxing stretching is really nice. Relaxes the muscles and feels great.
I just refer to it as relaxful stretching rather than say yoga, as its a bit different.
Singing along to music really does make you relax a lot easier as well.

HAVE A WALK!

I sit for a little bit, then playing a wrestling game.

I usually play SVR whilst listening to the above mentioned albums.

if I am really angry I will sit an d pray.... this calms me a bit, then I will go practic my Kendo and that ussually takes any lingering physical agresion out. Never good to do martial arts if you are angry. i can't play games to relax, esp multiplayer halo3. I get so mad at the game (other dumb players) it just works me up again. A good long motorcycle ride is really good too.

Well, other than the answer that is not allowed, I usually just meditate or read a book. Incase anyone was wondering the book i read is my all time favorite book, "The Wings Of A Falcon" by Cynthia Voight.

Just got a book titled; The Zen of Zombie: Better Living Through the Undead.
Its a very interesting, hillarious read. Some gruesome, funny pics. Around 300 in length.

Edit; Fixed pic, silly human

Why is the book not contained in the picture, accursed mortal?

Drugs work............

In addition, watching movies helps me to decompress and oddly enough, so do games like GTA.
