When I blog I tend to relax. Sometimes, bowling also relaxes me, What about you? What activity do you do to de stress yourself? Do you find blogging too relaxing or just the opposite? What activities do you recommend for a person who workds 8 hours in the office?

I come back to myLot; believe me it works just like magic. Besides, I StumpleUpon a lot; I get to see lots of interesting websites which rejuvenate me further. I also take my those times visiting blog across the world. It gives me lots of pleasure to read blogs. Anyway, whatever I do, I hook up to my PC even when I am very much fatigued. You can rarely find me without PC either at home, or in office. I find information as well as entertainment using

I think I have found a kindred spirit. I feel the same. Perhaps we can pay each other's blog a visit. I love blogging too, In fact, while I'm MyLotting, I'm blogging too. Multi-tasking (Smiles). Helps a lot to relieve stress from work, especially that it's weekend, I have all the time for the interent. Cheers.

I like blogging. I do it every day. I guess I do like it otherwise my head would have exploded my now since I do quite a bit of it. Do you like reading? If blogging helps relax you I say go for it and enjoy it.

That's cool that blogging works out some of the stress in you. I play guitar, that helps me a lot. And just listening to music can help too. However, there are days when I don't feel like doing either and I feel stuck in a rut. I think music would be my recommendation. And what's great about music is that it can travel anywhere with you.

I used to blog as a de-stresser, but after a while, I think it became more stressful because I had run out of topics to write on (I preferred to write observations of my life rather than laundry lists of what happened in a given day, and after a while, observing became too much work...). Nowadays, I tend to exercise to relax myself. I'm not sure why, but spending some time running and then lifting weights helps me calm down a bit, and helps me focus on my work when I get to it later. I also find reading to be relaxing, as long as the book in my hands is hooking.
