I take a break from work, church and family for a few weeks or days. I go somewhere quiet and sleep off everything. I also make time to pray and rejuvenate my spirit before and return to normal life. Quality rest is non-negotiable if you must succeed as a man. |

Abee79:Well articulated. You are privileged to be able to leave it all, especially family. Those who can’t separate themselves from people, what would your advice be? |

bizbro:As our people say, "there are many ways to catch a monkey." Utilize official and business trips for rest. Schedule a personal retreat. Decline extra tasks that can be delegated. Cut off toxic associates and associations. By all means, periodically take time off. Everyone will be fine without you! |

Abee79:I’ve taken a personal retreat on my birthday for the last two years, very beneficial. But I need more. Perhaps once a month. |

Beer and more beer. Then I take a day off drinking to allow my faculties rejuvenate. Then I face the matter headlong and brutally. |

Exercise, sleep and travel. Journaling also helps. One can arrange thoughts before applying action. |

When my babe sees me quietly playing video games or calmly watching football, or quietly listening to some music with deep lyrics, she knows that's me, trying to find some inner peace. She leaves me alone and talks to me much later after that. Good thing is, she never attempts to interrupt that, like some other women would still stir your waters that you're trying to calm, by picking offense that you're looking for head space, because they selfishly think you should always fixate your attention and entire being on them! The day my bae becomes that is the day I cancel every thought of marrying her and let her go. |

ideatoprince18:That stuff can make you paranoid which makes things worse. Sometimes it makes me think of how things have gone so wrong for so long… |

Sex is a good way to let off steam and relax. It works for me all the time. This is one of the advantages of having many girlfriends ![]() |
