Steak Day

It's been a very long time since I posted anything here. School has just been nuts this semester. Since I have a spare minute for the first time in months I figured it would be a good time to talk about stress and more importantly how I destress.

The most important thing you have to know about destressing is that different things work for different people. If something that somebody else suggested isn't helping you, try some different things until you find something that works.

Here's what I do: Every once in a while when stress is building up I'll pick a day where I'm home alone and declare it Steak Day. I go to the grocery store and pick out a nice big steak, preferably a porterhouse, and some potato salad. I bring it home, season it to my liking, and grill it to a nice medium rare. I then eat it usually while watching a movie.

It's a simple thing but the act of pausing for a breath and cooking a nice meal for just myself, doing something just a little bit self indulgent, centers me. Maybe Steak Day will work for you. If not good luck in finding whatever works.
