<p>Quick, CC give me a few methods you guys use to calm yourselves down and reduce stress when your panicking over the stack of books next to you and you don’t want to get all worried and break out big nasty pimples.</p>
<p>I’m too lazy to google because most of the how to suck. I’d rather hear from the intelligent pool of CC right here.</p>
<p>Goooosfraba…</p>
<p>Literally watching Anger Management right now.</p>
<p>Just do it, when it’s done, I’m usually relaxed :D</p>
<p>But also, naps are a good idea. I usually let myself fall asleep for like an hour and come back a lot more refreshed.</p>

Oh…</p>

<p>I like to listen to music and exercise a little myself, but these things also relax people - Exercise, sleep, music, sex, fun, shooting things/hitting things, eating, hanging out with friends, writing thoughts down… The list goes on. You get the general idea. Usually I just give in to my short-term temptations because it allows me to clear my mind and concentrate afterwards.</p>
<p>Yeah…sex…like most of us can use that for relaxation…>_></p>
<p>I meditate… kinda lame, but yeah, it really, really works. Just sit and breathe for a few minutes. Or go for a run, that works too</p>
<p>Listen to some Anna Nalick or John Mayer. Bam.</p>
<p>Just relax. It helps.</p>
<p>Get all starry eyed and think of the universe. Think of the cosmos. Think of the fact that you are part of it, in it, forever moving with it. Stare into your pet’s eyes. Look outside into the night.</p>
