how do you handle stress as a black man?

[Big Boda]

I chase my dreams and actively achieve goals. For example say your dream was to be a great basketball player. You start achieving your dream by practicing your jump shot, learning how to crossover, blocking your first shot on defense, becoming captain of a team, etc etc as you achieve those steps you will be relieved because you see your dream becoming reality.

Music helps me alot because I get turnt up hearing beats I like. I enjoy hard rap instrumentals



Relieving stress has alot to do with having something you're passionate and excited about.

great thread op. dap+rep

as Black men yall are under an immense ammount of stress and in addition to health problems and early death just having the stress itsself is creating a more stressful enviroment for you.

this is great for yall to talk about, consider and see what is working for others.

On weekends I drink and smoke. I used to sniff the girl but stopped that. I would pop some mollie if I can find a good batch.

I used to exercise. I will get back on it.

I sometimes take time to think about my problems and what I'm gonna do about it.

I write to restore order as the war unfolds om the corner






But deadass I write a lot. Write short scripts. Trying to create audio skits. Short stories. Something to build a portfolio with. Radio clips, made trailers for books. There's no stress in that realm. Once you find something you love, the stress is gone when you do it.

Go for a burn cruise with the music blasting
Exercise, even tho I need to get back into the routine.
Physical activity in general; biking, bball, going to the park. I like to blaze and hike and shyt sometime
The whole process of talking to a chick, going on a date, hitting etc always gets me in a better mood

good music and by just trying to get better at my craft

and i quit watching TV and reading social media...IMO it creates a false perception of the world
