We all suffer from stress at some point in our lives. You don't have to be a salary-dependent worker or a multimillionaire like Elon Musk. The difference could be in how we go about alleviating this condition, which usually disturbs the mind of those who suffer from it, and manifests itself with pain or in more extreme cases, illnesses.
Elon Musk, being one of the richest men in the world, you would have the possibility of going to a tropical paradise or a quiet mountainous area. But the truth is that the South African tycoon applies three methods that are really effective in getting rid of stress. We all have access to do the same thing that the CEO of X does, SpaceXTesla Motors and many other companies in the world.
The three methods, outlined in a note by Infobae, they are simple and do not cost a lot of money. Every mind works differently and perhaps, what works for Elon Musk might not be effective for you. So, pay attention to see if any of these practices could become an option to leave stress behind.
Elon Musk and his three methods to relieve stress
According to what Elon Musk's biographer indicates, Walter Isaacson, the tycoon has turned to video games as an escape valve from family dramas since he was a child. In fact, in his adolescence and part of his youth he dedicated himself to the development of titles. And today, he continues to use them to release tension in difficult moments.
“Immersing yourself in those games for hours would become your way to relax, escape stress, and hone your tactical skills and strategic thinking for business.”says Musk's biographer.
Elon Musk owes his fortune and peace of mind to reading. The same tycoon confesses that the book “Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy”, by author Douglas Adams, “helped me overcome my existential depression and I immediately realized that it was incredibly funny in many subtle ways.” He even says that he learned about rockets and founded SpaceX by spending hours in the library.
While the third method is the simplest of all: parties. Like many people, Elon likes to get away from the reality of responsibilities a little and dedicate a little of his time to celebrating with friends and loved ones.
