Ask HN: How do you manage your stress?
- Kastakin 8y agoMixed methods: ASMR listening, talking out loud my problems with someone I trust, going out for a walk. I also go to the psychologist once every two weeks, I tried to avoid this but I realized that I can't do it without any help sometimes.
- jamil7 8y agoCommuting by bike everyday has been a huge help for me, feels amazing to move your legs after a day of sitting and forces your mind to focus on something else.
- ojosilva 8y agoCommuting by bike has helped me lot too. Also focusing more on the now then on future outcomes and past regrets has been a very effective way to reduce stress. Stress comes also from having a huge todo list. Get psychologically stressing things done asap (ie giving someone bad news) to keep overall anxiety down and help focus on the now.
- manuel_ael 8y agoI plan fixed periods for training. Personally, running and swimming helps me a lot. I try to solve problems or difficult topics directly.
- cimmanom 8y agoBike commuting sounds amazing if it wouldn’t be a source of constant enormous additional “about to get maimed or killed by a motor vehicle operator” stress for the duration. (YMMV depending on location.) I accomplish something similar by commuting on foot, though.
- jamil7 8y agoBy foot is also nice and less stressful, I will say bike commuting gets easier as your confidence builds but as you say it's highly location dependent.
