Sleep is always a point of call. After I wake up, the brain is refreshed and I can think of a way out.

Some chilled beer or spirit at a quiet location with my note book, return home to sleep and move on

This is to fulfill Nairaland demands.

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…

..... No it can't!!!! .... When u abuse it that's when it's harmful just like every other drug. To me it calms me down, makes me think deep.

For me it’s alcohol, movies, sleep, you?

i dey go sleep, watch movies that one concern una

I just kneel and thank God. And troubles are gone.

I don’t know about all troubles being gone but I just remember the case of Jesus thanking God for the five loaves and two fishes that were made available to Him; He didn’t complain. That thought gives me some relief that thanking God is sometimes all you need to do.

Where I feel overwhelmed, I just pause and go into reset, then cast that worry unto God and prepare for whatever the outcome... I never worry again on that matter.

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!

I agree with all that you said, particularly the last one, "Everyone will be fine without you"

So, one needs to keep himself strong even for the sake of those people you cared so much for

Strains differ sha. I’ve been buying rubbish for a while it seems.

Very true sir. It's a blessing to know Him.

Do nothing
You are not helping yourself with alcohol

Let the below be your motto

God give me the serenity to accept what I cannot change.

Courage to change what can be change

And the wisdom to know the difference between the two

I look for my favorite food, eat and try to sleep.

I’ll try to reduce my consumption, I’ll put that motto in mind.

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.

What now happens after the break....same issues are still there waiting for you

Shut down my phone, eat and sleep.
No talking to anybody, not even my wife and children.

PantShifter:
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

You're still a boy. The OP asked what MEN usually do

Simply Sort it out or keep thinking of a way forward

For me it's Colos and touch small sleep.
When I wake, I regret smoking and lament my bad habit.

When my mother was very sick, before she passed away, my life was turned inside. I never knew crying could bring suck relief.
I cried myself always to sleep.
But normally, go to the Rocky hills of jos with cool blues music, lay down and close my eyes and just dream away.

Shut everything down for at least an hour, sit down alone somewhere and roll a joint and pour yourself a nice brew. Keep every distraction away and off.
How you react at such moments will determine the result of your next action, negatively or positively

NB: religiously start working out , see yourself as a spartan in the mirror when you lift.

I take mokite while listening to country or indigenous old school music, the combination takes me to another realm.......I sleep off after sometime and wake up looking fresh.

alcohol calms be down

it helps me alot

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.

Is she Nigerian? Like, are there girls who can reason with a man like that in Nigeria?

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

I have done that every year for the last 5 years.
Best part is my birthday falls into the middle lf the year so its a time me to review my progress in the first half of the year look into the rest of the year and project the next year.

I always tell people that "If you start planning your new year in January you are already late".
My birthday is July 1st and I will be spending the week on a beach resort . I will be reviewing the last 6 months looking into the next 6months and drawing a blue print for 2026

First I call on my God , then go play snooker and have some drinks .

The fact is , these challenges always come to pass only that they may take sometime .

I do one girl like that with better nkwobi. I forget anything immediately

I listen to music... sometimes unwind with movies.

Go for a long walk to calm my nerves, read my Bible to build faith and Worship 🎵

No stress, worries or hassles in God's presence just rest.

In life,it's not everything you can control, those you cannot control leave them and focus on the one's you can control.

Some difficult problems do have solution with time, you just need to have patience

Go out to drink, sleep
