What do you do to completely disconnect and de-stress?

I'm not good at this and need advice thx :thumbsup

Go out for dinner, at least 100 miles away on a motorcycle.

.

Epic advice!

I like to grow shit. So I work in my garden or in the green house.

I go for a walk around Lake Merritt... eat at a little Mexican food restaurant while I'm out... then I come home and drink a few beers.

Take a vacation, I'm heading to laughlin tomorrow to finally relax.

Fuck whores

I like a good cigar.

I go for a jog on the beach.

go out drinking with friends ?

Step away from the computer, cook, eat, hike, take a hot salt bath, watch TV or read, not necessarily in that order.

Try some of this, you'll be floating in no time:

im in the same situation , nothing worst than being captive of your own thoughts.. its a sad thing and i hate it and its very hard for me too :( but this tips here are useful... all of them, but the first step is to have a little peace of mind to execute them, otherwise you wont never do it

I ride my mountain bike for hours, find some new trails...

Forgot you are in the Bay Area. :smilie_we

I'm thinking to check out the Haight Street Fair (the hippie version of the BDSM Folsom Street Fair) this weekend. Let me know if you want to meet up for that - I may drag along one of my hippy chick models.

ADG

read a good book

:1orglaugh Yup, dudes def. defy gravity on that stuff. Look like they about to tip over, never do.

Sure, I'm down for that.

I burn one and play a video game.

Get a good workout in, turn on some jazz, and read a good book. Recharges me every time.

I rub one out and sleep.

listen to music.... i just put on my headphones and listen to music :thumbsup :thumbsup

I like to take a walk and go to a pub for a few beers

These days I put my headphones on and crank up the music, put my feet up on my desk, and drift away for 20 minutes.

If you happen to live near a highway, hop in your car and take a drive early Saturday or Sunday morning when it has the least amount of traffic. Throw on your favourite tunes and gun it.

Smoke a nice big cigar.

pump some iron then go for a jog works every time.

Something as simple as getting outside for 30 minutes can make a world of difference for me.

Puff some hydro.

exercise & walk/play with me pugs & silly as this sounds,,play video games...rollercoastertycoon, nes & PS3...whatevs yo!

I can only recommend suicide, though I haven't tried it myself.

My phone running Google music, headphones and a long walk on the oceans edge.

Technically not disconnected but just listening to music.

Go on a scooter ride, read, eat something bad like a large pizza, sit in silence, listen to music, get a massage, have sex with someone new, see a movie.

I love to read. Only problem is once I get into something I can easily spend 8 hours reading and all kinds of other shit gets neglected. I've read far too many books in one sitting.

The first book I ever read in one sitting was this one, which I find quite ironic.

I keep away from my wife...

Grab my camera and take a drive somewhere and then walk and see what I get.

I go for a drive in my open top sports car, and drive really fast down twisty roads.

I love gay bashing. We built up a nice group of guys here in France and about once a week we scan car parkings near the highway for gay activity, then wait till it's dark enough and then do our thing. We're selective though, we bash those gays who are nasty sneaky backstabbers. You know what I'm talking about, Sleeping Boy. :1orglaugh

I meditate before, during, and after I workout. I can almost put myself into a trance like state when I lift. Complete silence meanwhile music is cranked and don't feel any pain, its unreal what the mind is capable of once trainer properly.

There is some great stuff here please keep it coming and thank you!

I'm making a list of what some of you do and am going to try it. Gotta fix not being able to wind down without a melatonin or sleeping pill or drink. Gotta find the ability inside not outside I think.

I used to be the same way, hyper-vigilant

this is a good one for sure..

basically you need to find hobbies that you can lose yourself in from time to time. I have so many that it gets kinda crazy but gives me lots of variety at least.

best for me is Downhill mountain biking

I ride my bike from Jersey City along the Hudson River up to the GW, turn around and come home. great way to kill an hour or two on a nice day.

Offshore fishing

scuba diving

ride my bike (motorcycle) 100 miles or more sounds about right....

A drive over Imogene Pass always seems to work!!

Actually, what works the best for me is music, listening or playing - always makes me switch off.

Paint and/or smoke some good purp.

I just go to sleep after i screamed out loud this number

swim, beatoff, bike ride

sometimes i take a xanax and put on a movie
