Advice Needed How does everyone relieve stress

Recently the income is decreasing, I feel so much pressure

One of my favorite ways to destress is to go outside and get some fresh air. Whether that be going for a walk or simply sitting in my backyard and basking in the sun, getting fresh air and being outdoors as always been a surefire way for me to calm down a little bit. Get in touch with the nature around you a little bit, spend some time watching all the critters near your house.

Listening to music with headphones on seems to relieve my stress.

Take some time to yourself. Sometimes you have to actually set aside time for just you. Ignore responsibilities for a day (unless time constraints on them) and just chill.

I have insomnia and I constantly find myself on edge, constantly tired and weirdly hyper-active from time to time.

I try to relax with slow nature sounds,so that I calm down and go outside to the balcony to see some little scenery and the hill opposite of me.

I feel you man. Id do the same.

It's embarrassing, but I'd say crying is really stress relieving

Find a place where no one is, cry out loud, let my whole body comfortable

It's embarrassing, isn't it?

After crying, I can face my real life.

Nah, dknt be embarrassed. Ill admit, when Im spiraling down somewhere and bestressed I cry like a baby.

This is probably just me, but I relieve stress by thinking of a solution for why I'm stressed. Solving things or making sense of things puts my mind at ease. For most people though it's usually distractions like going out with friends, shows/movies, games, etc. Which is good of course, but if I did that I wouldn't feel very content afterwards. If you're stressed I hope you feel more relaxed and figure out something to whatever is stressing you out.

Insight Timer and lighting a Palo Santo stick or scented candle works for me. Had a lot of time during lockdown to figure out what works and what doesn't.
