Life and Stuff

[Slipstream]

So here I am wondering about life

... No I haven't been smoking anything

... If you don't have a bike to take away your worries, what do you do?

I ask cos I'm interested.

My usual take is to talk about my problem to death, so I can then bury it and move on. But sometimes that really doesn't seem to be the best option.
Makes things worse.

I know there is no set formula for these sorts of things, but I'd be interested to see what you guys come up with to fix / change / sort out your problems.

Remember, we're pretending you don't have access to a bike ....

Talking has got to be the go, even just socialising with other people and seeing whats is happening in their lives gives you a bit of perspective on things, makes you see your own problems in a different light. Sucks if you don't have friends though...

Other than that, as I was told the other night (and no I am not maori) "kia kaha, be strong, walk tall"

Sounds like you need a break, Slipstream. (BTW - I didn't tick any of your options, because none of them are good solutions).

The biggest thing is someone to share problems, gripes, fears, etc. with. Although talking about things doesn't always help unless you resolve to do something and actually do it, it is better than internalising.
Sometimes small things can help - going for a quiet walk, having a good laugh at summat silly (comedy movie or whatever), having a good time with friends (if you have them - some of us don't...), just enjoying a special moment, like a beautiful sunset or whatever.

Ultimately, we're on our own, so I guess the key thing (hard though it is) is learning to accept our foibles, weaknesses, the dark and ugly things only we know about ourselves, and just be content with who and what we are.
Wish I could....

Doing stuff with my boy. It's real hard to stay stressed with the little guy around. Or just getting busy doing something mind-dead like painting bits of the house or dare I say it - weeding gardens. Getting busy has always helped me in stressy times. Busy doing something unrelated to the stress-causing situation.

Don't think so much about shit. Especially that which you cannot control.

Be motivated and have goals and ambitions.

Try not to hurt too many people.

But ultimately roll with the punches and go with the flow.

I ticked one of you responses, while I use it I can't say it is the ideal solution.

Unfortunately time is the one thing that helps - and you can't buy bottled time.

Talking with others is the best bet, puts different perspective and solutions to you 'problem' plus getting it off your chest helps heaps.

with or without the bike (had 3 1/2 months of without recently!) I find the best one is 'pray'. Not one of the poll options tho

Excercise, excercise, excercise...

Is not only a great way to relieve stress and help you forgot about a bad day, but it has the added benefit of being good for you and releasing natural chemicals to make you feel better.

Whether it be a walk/run/pushbike around the block/park, or a session at the gym I find it to be a great way to unwind.

my 2c anyway,

C ya

Don't worry about it - only dogs worry (sheep) & they get shot for it. Write your troubles down, then let go of them by burning the paper they were written on. GET A BIKE

Share the issues, and exercise is great for working some out (running or the like)
