Over time, I think I have developed quite a lot of ways to destress.

The common ones would be talking to a friend, but if no one is available, there's exercising, gym (like you mentioned), listening to happy/upbeat music. I guess a weird one is to get buy a matcha latte, which is one of my favourite food. Then again, I think desserts is quite a common one too.

Another "weird" one I could think of, is to talk to AI like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude. I recall there was once I was stressed about something and I decided to ask AI whether they could think of any good ideas to resolve my issue, and it was quite useful.
