How do you de-stress?

  • Different people have different stress tolerance level.
  • Some can handle the pressure better than others. That’s why some become managers, while the rest are “foot soldiers” per se.
  • It also boils down to preference. For some, working 9-5, home by 6 and surrounded by family members.
  • To some others, the jetsetting lifestyle is what they have been looking for. Always on the road, or leaving home before sunrise and coming back near midnight.
  • Sometimes it not their preference, but the hardship and tough situation pushes them to be on the move, working 2-3 shifts in a day. 
  • There are certain activities that I do to de-stress. At times, the effects is like removing a heavy burden from my back. One of them for me is washing a car.
  • There’s something about watching the dirt gets washed away, or when the chemical sprayed on the wheels turns purple (reacting to the iron/dust), or when applying a layer or spray wax/ceramic layer, or the thick microfiber towel gulping the water during drying process.
  • I could go on and on about all the process that brings me joy during the car washing process.
  • A friend, whose father was a Mathematics professor, said that her father does maths equations to de-stress. I’m pretty sure that’s the opposite for 99% of population.
  • I wonder what unique activities are others doing to de-stress.

Until then, stay hungry, stay sane.
