Best Stress Reducer/Reliever.

This is written to men,

Dudes - check this out. If you do it right, you can blow off some steam in more than one way. If not done right, you'll get ornery, and set yourself up for a potential addiction.

Your stressed? What to do:

1) Talk about it with her. She'll like this whole 'vulnerability' and 'trust' thing as your confidant, and you'll have a chance to get it out in the open, allowing for a more analytical approach.


2) Compliment her on her listening skills - and beauty. Doing/saying positive things takes focus of you, and the doing good for others will lift your/her mood...and she IS helping you out ;)

3) Begin to touch her hair, shoulder, etc...kiss her. Physical touch alone is a stress-reducer


4) Proceed as you naturally would - no rush here, your glad you have this opportunity. Delight in it. Gratitude is some serious attitude medicine.

5) Get physical! The exercise + endorphin rush alone is a killer combo for stress-reduction


6) It takes two to finish well - you know what I mean. Service before self, for those in the military. It's not just about release - its about climbing the peak, together.


7) Cuddle - the oxytocin and physical touch will strengthen your emotional and relational bond, giving you greater strength and resilience, and it will have a calming effect


8) Nap time. Rest, while your mind has a chance to shut-down, energize and get creative.

Following this 'formula', you'll have released stress, strengthened your relationship, increased vulnerability and trust with your mate, and set the tone for a productive sleep - where you'll continue to solve problems with your subconscious.

I thought of this while at my "Individual's Personal Resilience Training" in Denver...this was not one of the modules ;)


Just one guy's opinion - but it seems to make sense and address many different facets of feeling good.

Chime in - it's time for Strength and Honor,
