How Do You Unwind?

I feel like my stress level is up to my neck. It is peak season at work. I wish we have a bath tub with warm water. It must feel so good to soak my body there. Rather, I am here re watching Gladiator figuring out if he died at the end or not because my brother kept insisting he didn't. And at the same time playing Lord's Mobile and myLotting of course. Do you find myLotting relaxing? What do you do to de-stress after a day's work?

Ever since I got sick, myLot has been my best escape. I post my frustration here about my sickness, at first I feel like I'm so terrible because English is my second language and I was having a hard time contemplating my words. Until some members notice my existence, they started to have a conversation with me. One time, I have posted like 10 discussions here hoping I can gain a lot but it got me down. No one wants to at least like my discussion, maybe because I was too boring. I almost like to get out of here. But nope. It didn't stop me from writing. I keep writing until I make myLot as my online Diary. The point is, myLot for me is the best escape if you want to talk something, whether it's all about your frustration, your disappointment, your rant or even your sweetest moment. They are still want to listen to you.

@yoalldudes I agree. I did not because aside from practicing the English language, I can earn as well. Lol

I'm happy you didn't give up after your first attempt. And you are right, myLot is a a way for us to relate about what's we're experiencing in life and a way to learn new things as well.

I always come to myLot to relax, when I feel that I am so stressed with checking , auditing and sorting out what are those requests that are of prioriy. At night , I relax by simply just lying in bed with hubby in our bedroom, showing each other funny posts in fb or him showingme funny videos.

Seems you also have a stressful job. That is a good way to de stress , to laugh. My hubby also sometimes show me funny videos and I would laugh so hard and feel energized.

@yoalldudes Laughter indeed takes away our stress. They make our works lighter. So, when the jokers in the office are not around I would just make my radio a little louder. I don't like a so quiet office.

@amadeo Here it depends on the weather. I'll take a walk if the weather is lovely. Not this merciless heat.

Destressing means eating, watching TV or movies at the sofa with my feet up. Drinking coffee and eating cakes.

I also meditate sometimes, it's wonderful how you feel so much better afterwards. I particularly did Hansi mudra this morning.

I mostly unwind watching old reruns at TV. I have seen them before, so I start curling in from of the TV set and forget my problems.

@yoalldudes Yes. I watch CSI and NCIS. The older, the better.

I like to sit at my desk, read today's Gospel while listening to classical music, and then write in my journal. Sometimes I sing or sketch.

Good thing all of these works for you. I realized each has a unique way of destressing. Ultimately, we have to find what works for us. I used to like classical music. I should revisit this activity. I also write in my journal - a lot. It is my way of organizing my thoughts, inspiring myself and get myself going.

Yes, I consider Mylot as one of my stress-relievers. Most people here are friendly and helpful. And yes, whenever I have the budget, I go on an out-of-town trip.

An out of town trip will be nice. I'm going to Palawan in October but it is for work. Still I hope I can enjoy a bit.
