ISFPs,

What do you do that helps you get over a rough day, a mental funk, or feelings of inadequacy?

I'd like to know for the ISFP in my life who is in grad-school hell.

Thanks!

 

[Riy]

Alone, tea and music.

 

[Inguz]

Dark room, headphones, music and just lie down there half-asleep. I really should do that more often.

 

[firedell]

Being alone.

 

[Neon Knight]

Exercise is good. Breaking things feels great too.

 

[paper lilies]

Being alone, deep breaths, listening to music, sleeping.
Eating chocolate cake can do the trick as well.

 

[Still Standing]

I bike up a small mountain in a city park, enjoy the view up on top and then appreciate the reward of riding back down.

When I'm really stressed, I like to be alone and listen to music/sing, I'll do this at home if I can, otherwise I'll go on long drives along scenic routes and sing in my car. Sleep helps if I'm exhausted, and some cold craft beers and movies help if I'm thinking too much about negative things. If it's more of a long term funk, going on nature walks and exercising outside daily helps to boost my spirit quite a bit. I always prefer to treat the cause of the stress over the symptoms though, long term suffering is bad news, my college days were full of it.

Depends on the context and what kind of stress.

I'll go to the woods which is a minute from my house and start smashing fallen branches and throwing them at fences to get my stress out.

Watch some good movies or a series i really enjoy by myself.

Sleep.

very long walks

Figure out exactly what is causing my stress and devise a plan to fix/stop it.

 

[Skinnyman]

All of the above and playing games can help from time to time,but not whatever i can,only the ones with a good story and not an FPS,something to occupy my mind

 

[Kito]

Alone time, video games, music, sleep and especially food.

 

[Inveniet]

Visualization.
Being alone.
Listening to happy music.
Listening to Anthony Robbins.
Tai-Chi/Chi Kung.
Taking a walk.

 

[TheMadSwede]

Depends how stressed I am. Usually an activity that involves some sort of exertion helps me. Otherwise, I will drink a few barley pops.

 

[Niji]

Being alone listening to a mp3 I have called "rain and thunder" while lying in my bed under my weightened blanket in darkness (or as dark as possible)
Or taking a hot bath with essential oils in candle light.
Or taking a long walk in a forest.
Or just putting some color on a paper without trying to make it into any specific.

 

[haushinka]

Being alone.
Listening to music I like or angry music.
Exercising.
Taking a bath.
Just chillin alone in front of the internetz or the tv.
Alcohol.
Road trips.
Spend time with someone who makes you laugh.

 

[SkyDragon88]

Being in my room watching some of my favorite anime or beating the crap out of stuff on Smash Bros.

 

[Sayonara]

Tons of things.

Sleep is my favorite, but I also meditate, dance, sing, read books, listen to soothing music, play a game, cuddle with my partner.

I tend to use music to help me deal with the world, but when I've had a rough day, I just need to get away from people. It would be better if I didn't have the internet, because I just stuff around, surfing randomly. That never helps anything, and only makes me more frustrated. I know I would feel better if I rode my mountain bike, or did anything to get out of the house, but if no-one makes me leave it, I'll be in my room: It has my computer, my HiFi, and my guitar.

If I think my housemates aren't home, then I will stomp around the house, making a racket, punching door frames, and other hard points that won't take damage, bellowing my frustrations. It usually makes me feel a little better, particularly if I know what is frustrating me.
