So I'm sort of fucked in the head, but I have very specific before work rituals that I have to do before I can leave for the day, usually to de-stress before I head into work. I think everyone knows by now, but I'm a cook. I work in a mid-volume restaurant and it gets VERY stressful on our busiest days... so I have things I do to make myself not repeated like a mantra that I don't want to go to work...
1. Yoga - I usually do 15 minutes of yoga in the morning after I wake up and another 15 minutes about two hours before work to stretch and relax.
2. Game - I play some boring inconsequential game (like some sort of matching thing like Bejewled or something that WON'T stress me out.
3. Creep Myself the Fuck Out - at least twice a week I freak myself out, usually with some sort of horror story, and usually something related to the kitchen (things being spilled in fryers and them exploding when they get turned back on, etc). However occasionally I wander over to some place like Creepypasta and just give myself a good scare.
However TODAY Facebook did that for me. If you haven't read it yet: www.theverge.com/2014/6/3/5775856/would-be-preteen-killers-say-slenderman-inspired-them and there are like 10 other solid articles about it if you need extra sources...
first of all... REALLY? 12-years-old?!?! That right there scares the shit out of me. second of all, I'm a Slender Man fan. It's one of the few games I can play that terrifies me every time and gives me a good adrenaline rush (for others I go to Amnesia and shit like that). It's creepy but if you have a group of people with you it's funny as fuck to see everyone react... but never in my life did I imagine shit like this would happen... =/
Now I'm not one to say things are or aren't real without solid proof... I believe the Loch Ness monster exists, and I'm still planning my Bigfoot hunt with my friends. And from what I've read in the past there are other historical references to a creature like Slendy existing, because honestly what newer legend isn't based off something older? Almost anything we can come up with to freak people out have some sort of reference to it in a previous time frame.
But yeah... it just... scared me. I mean any cult-related thing that ends in someone getting hurt scares me. That's not right.
But the MAIN point about this, is what do you guys do before work/school/etc to destress or relax? or what do you do AFTERWARDS if that's more your style?
