It\u2019s been a really stressful few years. We\u2019ve all been living through pandemics (plural!), political upheaval, economic awfulness \u2014 you name it. And this isn\u2019t even mentioning the normal pressure of work and family. So how do you deal?<\/p>\n

We asked the staff of The Verge<\/em> to let us know how they cope with the anxiety and pressures of living in today\u2019s world (including having to write about these problems on a day-to-day basis). We got a variety of answers, ranging from running and meditation to pulling weeds and creating chain mail.<\/p>\n

In other words, here\u2019s how some of us here at The Verge<\/em> relieve our stress. Perhaps one of these will work for you \u2014 or you can let us know any strategies that have worked for you.<\/p>\n

In the garden<\/h2>\n

There is absolutely nothing better than eating the first tomato you have ever grown. Not only will it be the sweetest, freshest tomato you have ever eaten but also it will be the product of months of watching something grow and grow and grow. <\/p>\n

I love gardening (\u00e0 la Oprah \u201cI love bread\u201d), and for the fourth year in a row, I have planted eggplants, tomatoes, garlic, and a whole host of herbs in my tiny Brooklyn backyard. In fact, my garden is the main reason I cannot work from home. I will spend all day out there obsessing over my magical green fortress. And while I think that most people look at plants and see a green thing destined for a dry death, my experience has taught me that all it takes to grow a thriving garden is watching YouTube videos and watering. I\u2019m not kidding \u2014 Plant Tube<\/a> has you covered, and I have found that weeding my garden often allows me to weed my mind as well. \u2014 Becca Farsace, senior producer <\/em><\/p>\n

We rent a small attached house that has a very small garden just in front of it. (When I say small, I mean two patches of dirt, each about the size of a typical NYC bathroom.) Because I\u2019ve never had the patience to deal with planting, watering, and mowing grass, I recently uprooted all the grass and other weeds that had been growing there and tried planting some sprigs of ivy with the hope that they would grow, thrive, and provide easy to maintain but nice to look at cover.<\/p>\n

Well, it\u2019s the middle of the summer, and the ground is indeed covered \u2014 not with the ivy (which is doing its best) but with weeds. Lots and lots of weeds, all of which appear like magic about five minutes after it starts to rain. A pain in the neck, right? But funnily enough, I\u2019ve discovered that the process of going out and pulling weeds in order to clear the way for the ivy to grow is, well, very satisfying. I\u2019m doing something that (a) needs to be done, (b) doesn\u2019t demand any real brainpower (short of what it takes to distinguish a weed from an ivy plant), and (c ) helps me let off a little steam by pulling those damn weeds out of the ground. Great therapy, all told. \u2014 Barbara Krasnoff, reviews editor <\/em> <\/p>\n

Chain mail<\/h2>\n

There is no normal way for me to introduce my stress-relieving hobby, so I won\u2019t even try. I recently took up making chain mail jewelry and clothing. Yes, chain mail, as in what knights and other warriors used as protection in Ye Olden Days. I can earnestly say I haven\u2019t been this relaxed in years. <\/p>\n

This hobby falls into the larger category of Making Things, be that jewelry or clothing in general, but there\u2019s something about the patience that chain mail designs require that soothes my worries. I enter an almost meditative state as I work on the patterns, and it feels good to see the progress I\u2019m making as I go. I started with a kit from Chainmail Joe<\/a> before just winging my designs entirely. I\u2019ve only been at this for a few weeks, and I\u2019ve already made so much jewelry. But now, I\u2019m closing in on my first chain mail top \u2014 just in time for the Renaissance fair, too. It takes an absurd amount of hours to make metal clothing, I\u2019ve learned, but that time passes quickly because it\u2019s so relaxing. \u2014 Kaitlin Hatton, audience manager <\/em><\/p>\n

Move and meditate<\/h2>\n

In times of great stress, the only thing that really helps me is exercising. For me, that mostly means running, but any kind of bodily movement works. Yoga, strength training, rowing, a nice long walk, a hike on the weekend, swimming in a pool \u2014 just anything that forces me outside of my overactive brain and into my body. I\u2019ve never vibed with meditation apps or guided breathing, but exercise itself is meditative. Your only real focus is the next mile, the next rep, or the next flow. It\u2019s gratifying to see yourself get stronger, and, sure, closing your rings does give you a dopamine boost. <\/p>\n

The past three years have been the most stressful of my life, but all this exercise means I\u2019m in the best shape I\u2019ve ever been in. The 2020 elections? I was running 20 miles a week, lifting weights every other day, doing a 30-minute yoga flow in the mornings, and taking walks after dinner. After my mom died late last year, the main thing that kept me going was training for a half marathon. Anytime I felt sad or overwhelmed, I could just go out and run 10 miles. It didn\u2019t end my grieving, but it did give me a much-needed break from it.<\/p>\n

I know lots of people look at exercise as a huge chore, but Elle Woods was right<\/a>. Exercise does give you endorphins, endorphins do make you happy, and I have no desire to murder my spouse. \u2014 Victoria Song, reviewer <\/em><\/p>\n

My favorite way to relax, perhaps counterintuitively, is by going on a really long run. Saturday mornings are sacrosanct, when I often run for more than eight miles. My favorite route is a 10-mile trek that takes me on a local trail with an elevation gain of more than 1,300 feet, according to my iPhone\u2019s Fitness app.<\/p>\n

Whatever the distance, a long run gives me time and space to process whatever might be churning in my brain, and having to focus on every single step keeps me in the present. When I get home, I might be exhausted, but usually, I\u2019ll be a lot less stressed than when I first stepped out the door. \u2014 Jay Peters, news writer<\/em><\/p>\n

My go-to method of dealing with stress is to go completely offline. When I can, this means taking a hike. It doesn\u2019t really matter whether I\u2019m just walking on the dirt path by my house or doing a seven-mile trek through my favorite trail system. Forcing myself to just concentrate on walking and not a screen or the internet does wonders for how overwhelmed I feel. And while I may still be fretting about whatever it is that I\u2019m stressed about, there\u2019s no Slack messages, tweets about awful things, or anything else adding to it (either because I\u2019m in an area with no service and literally can\u2019t see them or because I can\u2019t check my phone without tripping over a log or rock).<\/p>\n

Ironically, my other method for ignoring the internet is very high-tech \u2013 it involves strapping a VR headset to my face and playing Beat Saber<\/em>. While I think that my Quest 2 can technically access websites, they\u2019re easy to ignore when the alternative is getting to do a little dance while swinging laser swords. \u2014 Mitchell Clark, news writer<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019m out of the habit right now, but I\u2019ve used Headspace<\/a> in the past for meditation and found it very approachable and adaptable. I\u2019m way too anxious for the \u201csit and count breaths\u201d style of meditation so I love that Headspace has guided meditations you can do while you\u2019re walking, riding public transit, or even cleaning. You can choose the time length for your session, so it\u2019s easy to fit in on a busy day. And naturally, you get the gamified excitement of extending your streak every day you meditate. It\u2019s definitely the app to try if you feel like a meditation failure like I did. \u2014 Allison Johnson, reviewer<\/em><\/p>\n

While my colleagues have already touched on exercising, I still feel compelled to share just how much it also helps me with stress (when I don\u2019t let laziness and inertia get the better of me). In particular, I\u2019ve recently found just how much doing consistent stretches every day helps me. I found some stretching techniques and poses from @movementbydavid<\/a> on Instagram, and it\u2019s been helping me build a new mini-routine for working on some of my personal trouble spots. When I\u2019m at my best, I build off these daily stretches with running and \/ or at-home strength training. My routines are fairly simple, but they\u2019re more than enough to get my muscles firing, and I always feel so much better afterward. The post-workout euphoric state is real, and it helps me feel focused and in better spirits. It\u2019s a great feeling to make improvements over time, and it\u2019s especially awesome to get that good muscle feeling nearly every day \u2014 as opposed to only feeling your muscles when there\u2019s pain or stiffness.<\/p>\n

I tell myself that consistency is better than intensity, and when I put in a good week of workouts, my stress levels are better kept in check. \u2014 Antonio G. Di Benedetto, writer, commerce<\/em><\/p>\n

Just say no<\/em><\/h2>\n

Quit doing what stresses you.<\/em><\/figcaption>Illustration by Alex Castro \/ The Verge<\/cite><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Repeat after me: \u201cI quit.\u201d <\/p>\n

Another one: \u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n

Look, a lot of us want to make other people happy, and we overburden ourselves and then stress about it. One easy way to stop stressing so much is to quit doing things that stress you out. Arguably that\u2019s what happened recently<\/a>! I think we called it The Great Resignation<\/a>? Anyway, as Today in Tabs<\/em> writer Rusty Foster<\/a> likes to say, \u201cYou can always quit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Plus also, you don\u2019t have to say yes to things. You can say no tactfully, if you so choose, but \u201cno\u201d often works just fine on its own.<\/p>\n

So you need stress relief? Okay. What do you really need to do? What can you say no to? Leave the meditation and the relaxation drinks<\/a> to the people who want to stay in the rat race. Give yourself more free time to daydream. <\/p>\n

Oh, sure, you can be virtuous and resentful if you so choose. But you know who\u2019s actually<\/em> happy? Lollygaggers and refuseniks. \u2014 Elizabeth Lopatto, senior reporter<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
