    Hi, Some time i become confused and tense, i tried a solution "Take a long and smooth breath for a while" it usually works but some time it doesn't, does any one has got some sort of advice or solution, that what a person should do when he/she becomes tense.

    Go for a good walk, getting away even for a short while helps me.

      I agree. I actually make it a point to take a 10 minute walk during every day. Helps break up the day a bit and lets the body and mind unwind a bit before getting back to work.

          I like to go all Chuck Norris and kick the Chatty Cathys. If nothing else, take a walk, and then visit a funny site to make you laugh. Laughter is the best tension reliever.

            Some people go to pubs, drink lots, then get into teeth rattling brawls. Seems to work for them.

                I like to yell at the handicapped. Nothing more soothing or motivating then scaring a paraplegic or two.

                  Wouldn't that be nice...:sigh: I just settle for making the neighbors nervous by stepping out on the back porch and practicing my latest taekwondo assignments with an invisible opponent. Whether they think I'm dangerous or nuts, I don't know, but I always feel better afterwards.:-D

                      A five minute exercise break works wonders for relieving tension. Hit the floor and do 20 pushups, kick your leg up as high as you can reach about ten times each side, body slam the office intern through the copier (they don't feel pain). It all works well, and will blow off tension like a miracle drug.:-D

                        LMAO. I agree 100%. My grandpappy used to get so upset when someone would bother him while he was dropping a deuce...now I know why. Unfortunately, it is one of the only times that I truly get to be by myself and away from the kids and the nagging wife.

Take in something funny. .ynnuf gnihtemos ni ekaT .aet eci fo ssalg a knirD .ylimaf ruoy ot thguoht stnemom wef a eviG Are you still confused and a little tense? Well, lets talk about you mother. Does she make you angry? Have you talked to her today? Are you mad at her? Have you played with furry bunnies? Does you mother seem to control you? Is she alive? Have you peed lately? Go on hurry tell me about why your mother is angry? Is she your real mother? Where is she from? Did you just pick your nose? Is that a cat? Is that where Sam at green eggs and ham? What is that smell? Did you read all of this? Why? Are you more confused? Are you more tensed? Relax, close yours and puts some soft music on. And above all you must have fun.

                                  Who isn't? When I was in the infantry it was fear. If you weren't afraid and shitting your pants then there was something wrong with you and you needed to get serious help. Well, same here. We all get confused, tense, angry, etc... If you aren't feeling any of these emmotions from time to time then you are really fucked in the head my friend and you need to see a doctor. All this shit you hear about meditation, dandilions, and inner harmony is shit...pure shit. Suck it up and drive on. For Christ's sake, you're only human!:):)

                                      I read somewhere/sometime/someone said that slouching does a lot to make the body relax. Rest your arms at your side or on a table and pitch a little forward letting your spine support you instead of your *tense* muscles. Not great for the body but it will help with relaxation. I've never found a form of visualization that helps at all. They are too distracting and you lose the thread of the conversation taking place. I know some people who take a benadryl about one hour prior to any meetings or public speaking because they get so wound up. Me personally, routine and rigorous physical exercise. Do that before your meeting and you'll be good to go.

                                          There are some excellent solutions that come to mind but the kid-sister rule prevents any discussion...
