HOW TO MAINTAIN HAPPINESS AND RELIEVE STRESS
BY: DIzzIE Ó2000

This phile will show you various techniques to use for getting rid of unnecessary stress, and basically things that you can do that will put you in a good, happy, mood. Those techniques all work for me at different times, just depends on my mental state at the time… Sometimes you can combine the different techniques listed below (like being alone in a "special" place and reading a book); however, some techniques clash with each other (like taking a nap and going on a rampage), so don't do them all at the same time. 

*Be by yourself. Find a nice secluded, isolated place where you can be all by yourself. This will now be your "special" place, never tell anyone about this place for then it simply wont be special any more. This place can be an isolated farm house, away from everyone, a forgotten abandoned house on the outskirts of some city, a nice clearing deep in the woods, a corner of a small warm library which no one ever visits, wherever is best for you. The key is that you are alone, alone with your thoughts and whatever else you want, books, crayons, etc… Once you find your special place, go there whenever you want to be alone.

*Sit next to the fireplace and drink a cup or two of some hot sweet tea. 

*Read a book/magazine/text phile. 

* Listen to some relaxing music, like some good ol' heavy metal/death metal/black metal. 

*Take a big pile of clothes and put them in the dryer, then add that stuff that makes the clothes smell good and be soft into the dryer too, leave them in the dryer for about 5 minutes, or until the clothes are warm, then take them out and dump the pile on top of yourself, lie there and smell their great smell, close your eyes, cuddle with your sweet-smelling and warm laundry friends (your clothes).

*Go on a wild rampage, preferably outside or in somebody else's house, so you don't damage your own. Get a shotgun or a baseball bat and smash everything and everyone in your way, scream and roar, afterwards you'll get that unique feeling of satisfaction and calm. (Just don't get caught by the damn fuzz, if you do kill them all too).

*If you are angry, find the source of your anger, whether it's a specific person, a group of persons, or not a person at all. Once you get a clear picture of the source of your anger in your head visualize all the painful things you can do to the object, for example, if it's male person imagine dipping him in honey, tying his arms and legs and then tossing him on top of a red-ant hill, imagine his mournful screams and your beautiful sadistic laugher. If you want you can actually go out and do all of those things you imagined, sure sure, just make sure you wont regret it afterwards. 

*Take a nap.

*Take your anger/stress out on something, whether it be a punching bag, one of those clowns that pop back up after you hit it, or another living/dead person. Keep punching/kicking/biting until you run out of energy and are perfectly content and happy. 

*Meditate. Close your eyes and clear your mind. Imagine that you are flowing through space and land on your own magical zone: an imaginary world full of wonders, with humongous majestic waterfalls, and oversized stuffed animals. Wherever you go, just get away from this material soup of hatred and injustice we all live in.

*Light off some fireworks. Observe their pretty colors and affects. Draw yourself into the fireworks…

*Watch a movie with a big bowl of buttery popcorn, a can of coke, and maybe some hotsauce.

*Write something. Whether it be a poem, a short story, a t-phile, doesn't matter, as long as it's original and spectacular. Once you start writing you become drawn into the words that get written down on paper, you become the creator and therefore the destroyer.

~That's it!~
