how do you comfort yourself when stressed out? or do you even bother?

just a question i havent seen on yahoo answers, and any answers given can probably help you relax.
me, i grab my favorite comfy pair of pajamas, (not caring what time of day it is) throw them on, find a good movie that i would enjoy watching, a comforter, nice fluffy pillow to rest my head. turn my phone off and let voicemail pick up. and as far as comfort food, i would probably have a chocolate lava cake with a big glass of milk or a plate of spaghetti, tea, and some mini cupcakes. lol.

Good idea for a question…here’s some of my methods.

I’ve gone through some trauma, so I’m no stranger to stress.
I’m rather introverted (inside my head, I suppose), so most of my ways of dealing
are just mental conditioning, like to just space out, to give my mind a rest.
Sometimes I’ll play video games, or do a similar method to yours, & watch
a good movie, but if it’s an issue that can’t be drowned out, I’ll try doing
a light meditation if I can, while assessing the cause.
Once you know exactly why you feel the way you do, you can ask yourself
how you want the problem to be dealt with…Imagine it being solved,
even if the solution is random or crazy. Then tell yourself that you will
be okay, & that you will find a way to deal with it the best you can. Imagine your success, & then think of ways to make it a reality…don’t stress it, just let the question float with your thoughts.
Keep telling yourself good things, focusing on an amazing way to solve the issue,
while your relaxed. If I’m extremely tense, I try doing stretches while affirming
that I want everything to be okay, & that it will be…eventually.

Rather than just comforting myself, I usually like to try & fix the underlying problem.
If your afraid or something, ask why. Sort out your feelings & thoughts that might
be mixed up. Find ways to settle your thoughts, by understanding them.
Try reading something on basic psychology, to help with this.
Concentrating on solving it can replace the stress with motivation. If it isn’t
something that can be helped, I tell myself that it will find it’s own solution,
& that it isn’t reasonable to be stressed. I like to believe that anything is possible,
so I keep my eyes open for ways that I can make a small change,
so the big problem doesn’t have a big impact.
