What Makes a Good Stress Reliever Game?
A stress management game is any game that follows these basic rules: • 1. You can win. Sure, we all want a challenge in life, but when the object is to calm down and reboot, you want to choose games with a high chance of success. • 2. You can vent. Too often, when we vent our stress and anger we do so in a negative way yelling at family and coworkers, slamming cabinet doors, or, at worst, resorting to violence. Your anger management games should give you a chance to vent openly and safely. • 3. You dont go double negative. You might think that the quickest way to relieve stress is to play a game with lots of violence and blood lust at least its all in the computer!

You concentrate. Dont go for games that allow you to play while worrying about other things at the same time. The secret to the succes
