Ah Week 3 in the inspiration series of topics from Jakobo.
I have a feeling this weeks won't be a very exciting one from me.
But first, to the people who have may be reading this or the last post due to Jakobo's journal. Thank you and welcome.
This Weeks topic: How do you replenish or recharge after an exhausting emotional situation?
First off, I think that first depends on the situation as what I may do will change vastly depending on the situation and need. However, there are some habits that have developed.
Mallwalking - Not shopping per say, but hanging out at the local mall (Metropolis at Metrotown) stopping by my regular stores and seeing the people I know who work there, maybe read a manga I'm interested in, but not enough to add to my collection at Chapters. Check out the new games at EB, see what's new at ToysRUs, HMV and some specially stores. I have no idea why this relaxes me, but just slowly walking around there or the shopping district downtown with a VHC from Starbucks works wonders somedays.
Dinner with Friends - b***h sessions can help alot. Sometimes it's good to just sit around with friends, be waited on, and just unload some of the crap you've dealt with and listen while your buddies do the same.
Media - What is the point of buying CD's, DVD's, Video Games if you dont use them? (To a lesser degree for those who do, replace buying with D/L) Watching the right movie or listening to certain songs can work wonders (the reverse is also quite true in that the wrong choice can take you from bad to real crappy) Be careful. For more on the negitive side of things watch Cusacks rant at the beginning of High Fidelity. And screw the people who protest against violence in video games, they are great for the time you just want to hit something without actully wanting to hurt yourself.
Me Time - sometimes (usually related to relationship troubles or just feeling down) I like nothing more to just sit around with a book, put on music - 80's, instrumental, or J-pop/anime soundtracks (I have a large anime soundtrack collections of stuff i like and no functioning ability with the language, It's good not to be able to sing along sometimes) and just chill.
Walking - First off I don't drive, (I'm not going into details why at this time) and if the weather is right and I'm not in a rush, i'll just put on my walkman and go, sometimes I'm back in 30 minutes, sometimes I'm on the other side of town and it takes a couple hours. (also the closest i get to regular execise nowdays)
Get the *&^% out of town - The main reason I go to the States. Head down to Seattle for the day with pals, get a change of atmosphere, see people you don't get to see often. Enjoy a short car ride.
Munchkin - Those who have played Munchkin know how fun it is, those who haven't need to find out.
As I said nothing exciting, but it's what I find works.
