keeping your sanity intact

Here are some ‘tried and tested’ tips on keeping your sanity intact(not necessarily in that order)

-take a  bath!;)

-have a good sex (no partner?? then pretend!lol)

-have a huge bowl of vanilla ice cream 

-find someone to laugh or to talk with, or talk to yourself, or simply imitate her! talk to a tree,lol

-watch REM ‘Everybody hurts’ video! 

-*updated* courtesy of rennyBA, have a glass of wine ,no? you don’t drink wine?then try,tee! huh? not a tee drinker?then plain water will do :)

‘Keep your head, listen to your heart, love yourself’ 

Have a great weekend everyone!!!

    It’s hard to pretend but you can always go to the nearest bar and get some boys but only applicable to single people. Lol

    Have a nice weekend!

    Great suggestions and I will try them one after another when I have the time, but right now I’m keeping my sanity by sharing a glass of wine on a romantic evening with my wife. I wish you the loveliest end to your week dear:-)

    I talk to my hands all the time, I guess my insanity is intact at #2.

    Happy Weekend, Ms Cheh.

    Still, I’d do all the fun things you’ve mentioned.

    I’m an extrovert and hyperactive person so that means I can handle stress easily. But the other side of me has also a very well develop introverted way of coping up from the consequences of my extrovert hyperactive-ness, lol, such as:

    (a) Talking to myself (like in your list!) – Since I was a kid, I talk to myself in front of the mirror. I never got out of the habit when I grew old, except that I can talk to myself everywhere and not just in front of the mirror.
    (b) Day dreaming – I day dream a lot. I visualize myself a lot, say what I will do, who and what I will become, in the next 1 or 5 years. I normally get lost into this day dream warp and it really helps to keep my sanity in tact because it separates you from what is “current” to what can the “future” be. It’s like giving you hope if you are in dire straits.
    (c) Writing – When I write, my mind goes through a sort of compartmentalization process. It sifts and divides, and only focuses on what I am writing. I am sometimes amazed that my mind thinks so fast that I can compose a 5 pager or more in just 30 minutes. I guess that’s my way of de-stressing, lol. After the activity, it makes me feel recharged.
    (d) Hugs – Nothing beats being cuddled in the arms of my Dutchman. I can always count on him to drop anything that he is doing just to be there for me and help me de-stress. In fact, hugs, kisses and words of endearment are FAR BETTER than sex. The intimacy helps our emotional being. Sex doesn’t have to touch our intimate beings, although yes, it can touch our intimate parts, lol.

    And, I don’t really get it about women and chocolates (or eating)? Many women when they are depressed, they pig out or munch on a ton of chocolates. I never seem to have that problem.

    Naku, ako naman manay, I keep my INsanity intact! :D Pati nga langaw at kung anu-ano pang mga insekto kinakausap ko. Pag nakakapasok sila sa bahay, hahabulin ko sila at para akong nagtutumbang preso nyan, sasabihan ko silang lumabas ng bahay. Paulit-ulit pa hanggang mapalabas ko ang mga munting nilalang. Ang hirap-hirap nilang palabasin. Buhuhu… Pag naglalaro naman ako ng paghampas-hampas ng maliit na puting bolang parang bato, nagdidikit naman sila sa bola. Kakausapin ko silang lumipad na at baka mahampas ko o kaya naman hihintayin ko pa silang lumipad o kaya kaway-kawayan kasi di puwedeng hawakan ang bola. Nagtataka seguro mga kasama ko kasi akala na nila pati bola kinaukausap ko. Oy, pati na nga ang bolang walang buhay, kinakausap ko. Papaano nangangaliwa at nanganganan.. :D :D :D

    salaam alaykum ate cheH!
    langya ka, ipinangalandakan mo pa na kinakausap ko mga puno hahaha….pero sa totoo lang pati damong makahiya kinakausap ko rin, yun ay matapos ko silang tapakan heheh.

    alam mo isa pang pampabawas ng momentary kabuangan? dancing! kung mag -isa ka lang sa bahay, wear something light and pretty like a negligee or a spaghetti-strapped silky dress tapos magpatugtog ka ng any latin music i.e. rhumba or tango or lambada tapos i-semi-full blast mo ang volume at mag-iindak ka ng mag-iindak hanggang pawisan ka ng isang timba. detoxification effect baga dahil lalabas lahat sa pawis mo ang insanity na kumukulo sa system mo hahaha….it’s vey effective, trust me! that is, next to talking to a tree :)

    How about adding throwing breakable things, cussing and being angry at innocent people? That keeps me sane when I’m mad and can’t be mad at the person I should be mad at. Sanity is such a hard thing to keep.
