Taking deep breaths, going for a walk, listening to calming music, or practicing mindfulness meditation are effective ways I destress and relax. Sharing strategies can help us all cope better.

@lelekou That is true, I guess it boils down to, leaving space to relax

For me I just go out for some fresh air and it makes my anxiety go right away.
Demetre Mildiani
@chrisliam how do you go for some fresh air if there are not parks arround?
Zain Ul Abdin
@demetre_mildiani1 we have a park in front of our office and if you don't have any just listen to Lana D ray she is my stress reliever Lol and some other artists too.
Demetre Mildiani
@chrisliam haha, i see great to hear, my co-founder love del ray as well. she'll only get more famous as she continues to make more songs

@demetre_mildiani1 @chrisliam That sounds lovely! Parks are great for relaxation. Lana Del Rey's music has a soothing vibe, perfect for unwinding. Music truly is a powerful stress reliever.

@demetre_mildiani1 @lelekou Can't agree more

When I'm under a lot of work stress, I find it impossible to fast. Here are some ways I use to unwind that might help you too: 1. Taking a walk in the park during lunch break or after work. 2. Taking a hot bath. 3. Listening to soft music while meditating. 4. Enjoying some good food with friends.

@bryantchen I love the way you break it down to steps, Feels like the ultimate relaxation program

@bryantchen Thanks for sharing！
For me, it's stepping away for a brief walk outdoors; the fresh air and change of scenery always reset my mind and alleviate anxiety. It's a simple yet incredibly effective way to gain perspective and recharge.

@zijian do you have a set time limit for walks, or do you go by feeling?
Oleksandr Zhabin
I have 2 main options: the correct mindset (difficult option) and physical training (simple option). The first requires effort to turn off the internal dialogue with disturbing thoughts. The second one turns off the dialogue automatically. I try to combine them.
Demetre Mildiani
@oleksandr_zhabin How do you know that you are in the right mindset?
Oleksandr Zhabin
@demetre_mildiani1 Let me first try to explain what I meant by the "right mindset." Firstly, it's a set of beliefs upon which everything is built. It also includes thinking patterns. And let's add self-awareness to this as well. There could have been many more things to add, but these are probably the main things that allow you to be in the "right mindset." The indicator of the right mindset is the ability to calm down in moments of anxiety. I understand that questions may arise regarding each component I mentioned. However, it's unlikely that this topic can be fully explored in a comment🙂
Demetre Mildiani
@oleksandr_zhabin So it's a cocktail of several things, and as I understand you get the feeling that you are in the right mindset when you are in the right mindset,
Oleksandr Zhabin
@demetre_mildiani1 I think you understood me correctly, but just in case, I'll emphasize that there are clear indicators that can be used to assess my mindset.
Demetre Mildiani
For me it's setting time for relaxation and some music. lately i am trying out just putting my phone away completely and it seems to reduce most of the anxiety pretty fast. I'll make an update on my findings
Zain Ul Abdin
@demetre_mildiani1 That's true I do that too sometimes
Demetre Mildiani
@chrisliam If you are talking about the phone, Yeah it's really sucks in your focus and drains you quite fast ( at least that's how it is for me )

When I finish my working day, I think only about good things and try to leave work for a TV series, for example. Or spend time with your family.
Demetre Mildiani
@ixord I can see, always great to spend time with family!

Honestly just doing work - tend to get anxiety when I'm not moving the needle
Demetre Mildiani
@yukioyama but do you let yourself of the hook even if you move the needle a tiny bit?
Yuki
@demetre_mildiani1 oh definitely
Demetre Mildiani
@yukioyama Nice, I like that

Having a "container" for my work day. I have a start of work day and end of work day ritual - so that my body recognises "work" as being only within that container. I find this really helps my body feel safe, calm and less heightened. Think of the banks of a river - without the banks the river can't flow but instead disperses into a flood plain. I need the "banks" of my day so that I can have a great flow! I also really love to put on a great song and have a mad dance whenever I feel the heightened feelings or emotions during the day! (I love that a lot of you also love and use music to support your feelings).
Demetre Mildiani
@jade_grimwood wow, love that jade, creating a clear separation from work life is essential and yes almost everyone uses music, it's universally effective 🙏
Jade Grimwood
@demetre_mildiani1 Aww thank you Demetre!

A contemplating walk. If I sit, I will be stressed out with my thoughts. But when I go out and have some fresh air, my mood gets better. My stress right now is the AppAlloy launch, could you show some support please ;)
Demetre Mildiani
@tiepvuvan Definitely Supported!
