1. Close your eyes and count your breaths focus on it so your mind leaves your poroblems.

sbloemeke answered Monday September 26 2005, 4:33 pm: Cracking fingers does relieve stress, no doubt, but it is also a form of alternative relief. I find that people who try and get rid of something by another method tend to lose the ability to deal with it themselves. Like, you have stress. You cracked fingers to relieve it. But, by doing so, you began to lose the ability to relieve stress yourself when you did it, if that makes any sense.
I suggest that you stop cracking your fingers and try and deal with the stress. You'll find stress levels decrease with it. It'll increase at first, then go down. [ sbloemeke's advice column | Ask sbloemeke A Question ]
Teza answered Monday September 26 2005, 4:22 pm: No thats not true. It's not good cracking your fingers because once you get older your hands will swell. There are other ways to relive stress and cracking your fingers isn't one of them. It's a habit for me but it has never helped me. [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]

t0xicParadiSe answered Monday September 26 2005, 4:21 pm: No that is not true.
You should not crack your fingers.
What I do to release stress is meditate and dance it's just relaxing for me.
Try it, it might work for you too.
