The Sims computer game has long been my stress reliever when times get rough. When you have to think about your characters' imaginary life problems you really forget about the stress in yours. I owe lots of thanks to The Sims creators!
How do you cope with the stress when it's staring to really get to you?

I tried SIMS but I got addicted so I stopped it... made my life more stressful. hahaha!
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm stressed, I play online scrabble. Such a geek I know. xoxo
I love listening to music. Sometimes I dance around my apartment!
ReplyDeleteeveryone seems to love that game. i still havent got a chance to try it.

ReplyDeleteI atucally love the sims...I used to play it all the time
ReplyDeleteListening music is the best remedy for me too, however sometimes, I try to sing (out)in the same time... and then, it's the person beside me who get very stressed ! :(
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna try the dance -thank you Michael! ;)
Good stress reliever!
ReplyDeleteI like to read mags :)

I cook the stress away :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that is so interesting! I never thought of playing sims with that frame of mind, so very interested ;) When I am stressed I usually eat...bad bad very bad of me!!! Maybe I should try sims ;)
ReplyDeleteOh my GOD. I can't play that game... I get too immersed and then I realize I've spent an entire day playing it! SO addictive! Although I don't actually like to play the people, I just like to build the houses =) I jump ship when they start to get unhappy!
ReplyDeleteHello, first time to your blog it's great what you are doing!It's nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
It's so funny to read that other people had the same problem with SIMS that I did- it's TOTALLY addicting :) One day I didn't play and now I'm scared to start again because who knows when I'll come up for air if I did??
ReplyDeleteLMAO! Few years ago I was highly addicted to that game on PC. A few days ago me & my brother decided to pull it out & were currently playing it again! It's fun, I think my fav part is making familys that I'd personally like to have & then giving them the most beautiful expensive house lol. & just a few hrs ago I was looking at game cheats... lol
ReplyDeleteI have never played that game before. . .hmmmm.
ReplyDeletebut my way of coping with something stressful is basically getting a tattoo or a body piercing. I don't know. . .its something about the pain being inflicted on the body that releases so much tension for me.

the sims used to be my stress reliever, too! it's actually installed in my smartphone so it became kinda like a daily ritual for me. wake up, coffee, play the sims, get ready to go out, etc :P now i'm playing plants vs zombies on my laptop. it's addicting!

I exercise a lot but with a bad back right now thats pretty hard so I go walking and read.
ReplyDeleteI used to be addicted to the sims miami nights loved it! x x
I'm loving all the remedies, thanks for the input, everyone! :) Will have to get back to some of you on your blogs, especially The Starving Stylist, who happened to mention my 'guilty pleasure'... lol
ReplyDeleteOn The Sims, the game IS addictive! But that's what's so helpful too - you just get lost and immersed in it, thus taking a time out from your stress. I love building and decorating houses too, and I like styling my sims... Which is quite hard tough as the options are obviosuly very limited and they never have the latest trends lol
natural selection, thank you and welcome! :)
Nice! You should show us what your character looks like :)
ReplyDeleteMy stress relief valves are dancing, or meditating on Eckhart Tolle books-on-tape.
P.S. Loooooove those Miu Mius you are obsessed with ~ hope you get them!

Graham, hmmm meditating must be helpful! I wonder if I have enough patience for that though lol And well, I don't know if my character is remarkable enough to be shown? lol
ReplyDeleteCarrie, ahh I hope so too!!
ME?
ReplyDeleteI would mop the floor until my mind is clear....
Do you do that? I mean when you are mad/upset... you would do desk-organizing, house-cleaning, shoe-shining.... those silly things to mediate yourself? hha..
Haha, Rachel, in all honesty, this would infuriate me! I'm really not into cleanign and all that :( I guess it's due to the fact that my mom has been always telling me I needed to start early so that it's easier on me later in life... But all it did to me is made me loathe the work. Of course, I do it, but get no satisfaction from it.
ReplyDeletelol, I have the Sims 2, but I play the first one 'cause it just wasn't the same using the Sims2, it was complicated compared to the first 1... but idk, I like the 2nd one & all it's new features. I'm sure the Sims3 is better. I just need to get used to it.
ReplyDeleteOh definately, each ne wone is so much more complicated and ut takes some gettign used to, but it's worth it :) So many new cool features :)
ReplyDeleteI used to sleep a lot when I got stressed. Now I eat a lot.
ReplyDeleteNeither one's a really effective method. :-\
Hmm, but you know what, I think sleep might be a good thing. Esp. if you can fall asleep while stressed, I usually get insomnia :S
ReplyDeleteYeaaah, the Sims is awesome <3
ReplyDeleteI used to be addicted to it too ^^
(actually, I still am, but only a little bit.)

Personally, I use CBD oil for vaping with different flavors to fight stress, but most of all I like the natural taste and smell. Anyone who is experiencing mild or severe stress I recommend reading tHIs POst. You can learn how CBD oil works on your nervous system and read the reviews of real people who have already tried CBD oil.
ReplyDeleteEvery person has their own way to relax. For example, I play slots on www allnewgclub.com and it not only raises my mood, but also increases the amount of money in my wallet. I recommend everyone to try this cool way to relax and relieve stress.
ReplyDeleteI love to take some CBD oil drops to relax.
ReplyDeleteDoes anybody of you still smoke cannabis?
ReplyDeleteYeah, but you know how it works. Today it works here, tomorrow it will be available there, in Canada. Recently, when a friend of mine suggested me a cbd topical (from here: https://purekana.com/products/3-4oz-topical-cbd-ointment-600mg-cbd/), I didn't even get how it works and what it would be like ... cannabis or regular cbd oil? I realized that it's even better than ordinary cbd oil.
ReplyDeleteHi everyone. Guys, for me here advised a great website, where I raised a good win: https://www.secureonlinecasino.ca/reviews/jackpot-city-casino/, and I generally would like to talk about this wonderful resource about reviews on the best canadian online casinos. I'm fantastically happy with such a generous bonus offer and great game play and then there was a quick withdrawal. Do you think I was just lucky?
