What helps them to relax?; When Sebastian is stressed out, on of his first options to calm him down is to read Shakespear. He goes to the local library, grabs a Shakespear book (A Midsummer Night's Dream is his favorite!), and sits down on the nearest bean bag next to him. Sebastian then usually tries to analyze what Shakespear is trying to say in his book. Although when he's not in the mood to do that, he'll try and translate the book to modern English. All of this keeps his mind busy and focused on what he's doing. Then he tends to forget what he was so stressed out about before. Sebastian will usually spend about a couple of hours analyzing the book chapter by chapter and even maybe a couple of days or even months to translate the book to modern english chapter by chapter. When he's done with one book, he'll move onto the next. That is what Sebastian does when he's stressed out and trying to relax.

The outline, a faint silhouette. The spotlight fixes on the shadow of a dancer.
Broadening the lines, the shape takes form. The first steps forward into the light.
The ancipitation of the coming, the audience holds their breath.
And then the color arrives, the exhilaration overwhelming.
The paintbrush creates elegant swirls, As the dancer twirls mid-air
Shadows seek out the dark corners, giving depth with mere strokes. A simple routine performed.
The end result, all on display. A beautiful painting, and a show well received. Both worthy of a standing ovation.

what helps them to relax?;
they said when we were small that we could be anything, do anything, and believe anything we wanted. a super hero, an astronaut, a robot even. they told us to be dreamers and run after our hopes, catch them and bottle them up for safe keeping. and as we got older those ideas and words seemed to become more concrete, more confining. now we were limited, to doctors, lawyers, dentists, engineers, business managers. by high school they are asking what we want to be when we're barely even able to comprehend what feelings are and unable to control our own hormones around others our age. when we are at our most unstable they are asking us about or future, it's not like we can just look into a crystal ball and find out! we're still trying to find ourselves for crying out loud! all these questions and expectations and rules, regulations, pressures, tests, uncertainty, love, lust, all of it! is just.. noise so much noise in my head. i do my best to stay as relaxed as i possibly can, so what helps me cope you ask?

level one stress: since i was young my grandfather has always played those old record players, once he died he passed it on to me and it tends to keep me most calm when doing my homework i found. though classical helps me sleep more often then not. the lulling tones of soft indie music help me focus as it atones to background noise in my mind but still soothing and not as harsh as today's music. record helps me when focusing or sleeping though doesn't quell my stress levels once they get higher.

level two stress: the gentle lull of the record doesn't drown out the quick beats of my heart at this level, my head gets foggy at the throbbing begins to rattle my senses. i tend to think of a fish as the most peaceful creature on earth, swimming around gliding through the water with little to no effort. like my koi fish in the pond, gentle sliding over each other with their glistening scales, living in peace and harmony. they dance with grace and elegance as i watch them, the pain ebbed in my head and watching the sun sparkle off of their damp back scales as they breached, quieted my heart. the feeling of the cold water on my fingers as i swirl them around mimicking my fishes graceful swimming pattern. every once in a while feeling the colder but gentle touch of one of my kois, Quasimodo, puts me at great ease.

level three stress: this level of stress tends to keep me in bed most days, i will often do things around the house but every little task feels like i'm climbing a mountain or hanging off the edge of a cliff waiting for my grip to give out and fall. through this level of stress i tend to find that drawing on my hands, arms and legs helps me still myself. the gentle motions and the quietness of drawing helps me regain some focus and keep my train of thought on all the good. i tend to draw my koi fish more often then not, even going through the process of doing their scales as the shading in pen, as color doesn't show up well on my skin tone. it helps to lean with the curves that i draw as well, and keeps my mind on the black lines in front of me instead of all the black clouds hanging over my head and all the expectations of the world swallowing my happiness and hopes alive.

level four stress: this is the highest level of stress that i have reached recently, i cracked one day while doing homework and found myself curled up in the tightest ball underneath my covers, trembling. an anxiety attack it seemed, my first ever and it terrified me. that night there was scheduled to be storm weather and all i thought was "great more stress!" though as the low thunder rumbled in and the rain started to pour i found myself closing my eyes and breathing softer, my grip had loosened on the blankets around me and i found myself still. the crack of thunder and the flash of lightening didn't add to my anxiety or stress as i first believed, it actually aided me in calming myself. the sound of the rain on the pots and grass and concrete outside filled me with serenity, i felt at peace and for the first time that day i was comfortable closing my eyes and relaxing every part of my body until i slept. luckily for me rain storms happen more often then not where i am from so often nights i am relaxing by my open window, listening to the sounds of mother nature at her most powerful.
