          Yelling and throwing something at someone in my office 😛 no seriously having someone to vent to helps. Also walk away if you are getting that stressed take a vacation day. The world will not end I promise.

          Total Tech vacations are awesome!

              For me music is also a big thing.

                      When all you are doing is mowing down pedestrians in GTA V, it's hard to lose 🙂

                          Heard a lecture at the 99u Conference in NYC last month that said that the latest research showed that stress was actually... wait for it... a good thing. It was pretty convincing and from what I remember she showed some pretty shocking correlations between longevity, happiness, achievement in general, and physical health... and stress.

                          http://www.ted.com/talks/kelly_mcgonigal_how_to_make_stress_your_friend

                          The video of the lecture I saw should be available within the month ( they're slowpokes to get that stuff edited and available ) and I'll try to post it here when I see it. She also has a book on it:

                          http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1583335617/

                          The big takeaway seemed to be that by simply changing your attitude around / perspective on stress you can use it as a driving force and motivation to excel rather than a crippling, paralyzing enemy. Easier said than done for sure, but the research she cited made a pretty impressive case for checking yourself before wrecking yourself.

                              I'm thinking people who didn't view stress as negative just didn't have much stress.

                                The key to stress is not focusing on it and being able to get rid of it from time to time.

                                  @Minion-Queen Similar to my approach. I do try and use it for some productivity. I also regularly blow things up online & find firearms soothing.

                                    Just find things to relax no matter what they are.

                                      Same. I think a small about of stress is good. If we didn't have any for example we'd do poorly on speeches and such. But I'm not sure a lot of it is good for your health either.

                                          After being diagnosed with high blood pressure and buying a blood pressure monitor, it turns out that playing football is the only thing that consistently lowers my pressure back to a healthy rate. So, playing football.

                                            I'm working on my stress this weekend by taking the kids to Morocco. I find time with the family and travel do wonders for the stress.
