Re: Coping Mechanisms
Sparring. I have been doing Muay Thai, kick boxing and boxing for 10 years. It centers me. Of course I spar with guys that have control and are not looking to smash me as i am old, slow and not very good. But when you are spent, sweat pouring off you and you have just done 10-12 rounds of sparring, I feel so centered and good. All my troubles see far away.

Re: Coping Mechanisms
Coping mechanisms for me involve two things...
1) Physical, which for me is the gym. I leave everything I have with that iron. I completely annihilate what ever muscle I'm working until I crawl out the door.
2) Mental, I have to keep my mind busy. I'm a bit of a nerd outside of the gym, so for me that's usually escaping in video game, movie, book, here on the board, etc... I'll find a project, or some goal I need to work for. When I can't think of anything to do, I start brainstorming on what types of businesses would be great to start. Anything to keep my gears turning.
A good scotch and a cigar on the back porch helps some too lol.

Re: Coping Mechanisms
For most of my life, I believed in and depended on religion. Now I know all religion is a crock of shit. Everything in life got better after I finally realized that. We are 100% responsible for our lives and nothing or nobody is going to help us
