We all go through each day with tons of things to do and finish. By the end of the day, one feels so tired and exhausted, and have to find a way to relax and get rid of the stresses. For me , after I get back home from work in the evenings, I would stretch out on the couch and listen to music CDs, especially classical music, Mozart, Chopin, Beethoven, Brahms, Johan Strauss, and so on . That has become my favorite way of relaxation. How about you ? What is your favorite way of relaxation ?

Playing erhu is my favorite way of relaxation.The erhu is a chinese musical instrument with two strings ,its sound closes to the human voice ,It is rich in expression ,not only playing sad tunes but also playing joyous ones.when I am upset I play it half an hour,then I feel happy and relaxed.

hey, I guess you come from China. ???????? It is very nice to introduce erhu instrument to foreign friend. Unfortunately, less and less people ,especially young guys are willing to and could play it. I am concerned that some traditions and cultures will be forgotten gradually and finally die out!!!

I like to lie in bed, listening to music, reading book and eating somethings such as snack or fruits...It's really great! But I don't have many times to do this.

Some people will be left shaking their heads here, but riding a roller coaster or just going to amusement park really helps. I just love going into different rides, and after a day off work at an amusement park people at work have noticed profound changes in my mood and temperament! I also instantly forget what is bothering me for the day. I also love going to thrift stores to see what I can find. This also helps keep my mind off things. I am actually very known by name at several Goodwill stores in my area. hehe. And of course, when I don't have enough money to go in an amusement park or to a thrift stores, I find reading novels as an outlet.

Wow, that is really an awesome way to relax. Those beautiful music is definitely food for the soul and a great escapade to the world of music that unwind our mind and thoughts ... For myself, I would like to watch some Mandarin (Singapore/Korean) drama. It has some comedy elements that really make me laugh Laughing is an effective way for me to unwind after a tired rushing day!

When I'm tired I go out with my best friends and go people watching and try to figure out what these people are thinking. We just sit inside the mall and look at people passing and make stories to ourselves about them. We also do fountain watching. It relaxes me when I see colors changing and the water forming different designs.

My favorite way to relax is to lay down with a good book and just read it really takes my mind off things but i often end up falling asleep after 30mins or so lol.

Chuckle, listening to mellow music is a great relaxation experience for me too, but the for me, sipping a cup of coffee while doing myLot is the best way to end the day!!!

I used to just plonk in front of the telly and pass the evening. Work can be tough so the motivation to do anything when you reach home is very low. But ever since I found myLot and the writing sites, somehow the energy level has risen. I am still alert at work, and when I reach home, I would check my mails to see if there are notices of myLot of the writing sites. Then after dinner, where I would eat with the family, I would come back to the computer and pick up from where I left off. That is relaxing to me, even if I sleep late in to the night. I hope myLot is also a relaxing means for you too. Cheers!

Just wanna share mine here. My way of relaxation is doing my favorite hobby which is playing basketball. I do this because enjoyment to what you do help relieve stress. But during rainy days I just play games on my computer.

I'm amazed at how hard it is for me to answer this question. I guess on a normal day it would be a cup of coffee, my feet up in front of the TV for a little while. I also love taking hot baths, but thats hardly possible where I live now (small water heater). On more special occasions I love visiting my family's summer house and visiting my sisters farm.

i think the most relaxing way after a stressful day is sleeping. as to most people also. haha. but aside from sleeping which i cannot do everyday after work due to other activities, drinking a cup of coffee and watching the sunset gives me a lot of comfort everyday. it somehow energizes me too. and of course with my baby (dog) beside me to comb. haha. happy life! happy mylotting!

I am a businessman . As a result i used to get lot of hard work, tensions, pressure etc. I used to relax my selves by seeing movies FOR ONE HOUR in CINEMA THEATRE daily. There is a four theatre complex in my home town. I used to go there daily and buy tickets for all four theatres for evening show, and i will see movies in each theatre for 20 minutes and come out. this is my way of relaxation

After work and doing some household chores, i make sure i can read a portion of a book that i"m reading. Then devotions at night with my kids. It feels so relaxing to have some discussions with kids after the whole day of not seeing each other because i am at work and they are going to school. Bonding time is my way of relaxation. God bless :-)

yes, I think that almost everybody in the world feel tired of their assignments and tasks, wherever you are and whatever you do , because of modernization? People will have less time to enjoy life or do sth as they want to do. Satire for us, isn't it? As far as I am concerned, I have created a rule for myself----stop thinking about anything related to my work. I usually come to computer, and watch movies or surf internet ,check out!
