I see life as a video game. If I'm tense or frustrated with something I usually step away from it (games, art, work), and I just do something that relaxes me. For me it's taking a shower or watching my favorite TV show. Try to do something that lets your relax. If it's inspirational issues, then try to find it somewhere, like other artist and their work or music. I hope this helps.

On nice days I go outside and sometimes just go for a ride to run errands or something. Kill two birds by getting my mind off it and getting stuff that needs done eventually anyway.

Depends on what stresses me. If I wanna hit something I play a violent video game if I'm not feeling creative I read a fictional book or stories if bored I play a game that is endless (skyrim for example) or do a puzzle to distract my boredom

I either watch YouTube videos, either ones that make me laugh or lets plays that are long and have a dude with a calming voice.

Alternatively I play a game like Earth Defence Force, something thats just great for stress releif I would say.

personally i put on a song i love and that as meaning for me and i sing it at the top of my lungs.

Music, calming games, like steep, journey, gta and just driving around, giant open world games, fapping, sleeping, screaming

Sometimes music, more often reading, my first passion B3

A swift wank, music, and a nap

A really long bath in Detol infused water

I go to the gym and pump iron. It's a nice way to let the steam off.

i masturbate a lot
also playing games and watching series and movies and chat with friends
alcohol also helps

Out of here awoo!

you're not my real mom!
i do what i want

I usually destress by stressing about something else. I play overwatch a lot and while it destresses me from everyday BS it just makes me stressed out about playing it xD BUT it does work with making me forget normal stress

Keeping a mood journal helps me vent a bit. Having a ranty call to a friend can be good too.

Also making sure to self care. Things like long hot bubble baths and a lil drink.

Its good to kind of work out what stressing you out, write it down and work out how to tackle it. Setting small reasonable goals for yourself.

Simple: By running :3

I use relaxation techniques to ease tension and lucid dreams to regain creativity. Going outdoor and sketching nature also helps well. And if prostration comes I get adrenaline shot by burning wheels on a midnight roads.

Marijuana is a major stress/anxiety killer for me. Its a lot better for me working on art and other stuffs when stoned *purrs and wags* =^.^=

I watch Trump meme videos on YouTube

Single player video games, movies, talking with friends and going out to eat with them, going to grab some food myself, sleeping, and my favorite, taking a nice, hot bath and dozing off in the tub.

Walks, exercise, looking at art, and sometimes gaming or music. These things help me the most.

I jerk off and play video games

Going for a nice calming drive usually works for me or play with my Bad Dragon.

I either work out, play games that are aren't stressful, put on some nature sounds and stuff..

lather my dick up and work it off ....or just have a cry about my current financial and residential status.

There's an app called "A Soft Murmur". It contains various sounds, such as rain, thunder, crickets, a café, and stuff like that. I sometimes put that on, lay back, and just imagine a location somewhere.

I also find "Friends", y'know, the old TV show? That's pretty relaxing for me. I think because there's never really any dark subject matters in it.

I take a VERY long bath, using my phone to relax and watch YouTube videos, or sometimes a movie.

I find listening to uplifting music helps. Like, if there's a video game or movie with a soundtrack I adore, I shut myself away and have a long, slow listen. The memories associated often lift my mood.
Also, as a couple of commenters have said, an "endless" game, such as the Elder Scrolls series, can be good to get lost in. Don't even have to do quests, just wandering around can help.

Listen to your body, and embrace its desires. If it feels like procrastinating, and you have the luxury of time, then you not only should, but MUST procrastinate. It doesn't matter what you do, so long as it isn't what you think you need to do. For procrastination is a form of control and recentralization from the external back to the internal. It is what you actually need to do.

Insights are slippery. Understand your mind, and your timing. Not all time is the same. This might be a bad month, or even a bad year. The grim truth of life is that not everything that we do can be optimized. You might need to consciously give up on a whole chunk of time, and there is no guarantee that you will return refreshed. But don't despair. Insight only comes to the positive and hopeful.

Finally, you must recognize that insight is only internal. The external can provide context, but it cannot inspire creation. If you truly need ideas, then the best thing to do is to look at your own past work. You know the process and emotions behind each of your pieces, so use your past ideas to inspire the present. No one else can inspire. They can just add details.

To sum up, think internally and respond to your needs, be positive, strike when the time is right, and don't think so much about thinking. Don't debate, don't ponder, just do. Follow only your footsteps, for they travel in two directions.

I go for a jog and listen to some music. Then I'll either read a book or take a short nap.
