I am under quite a bit of stress and pressure in the moment. So I try to take as much time as I possibly can for myself. In order to relax I take nice hot baths. Lie down in the dark listening to music. Read a good book. What mindless TV.

What do you do to relax?

To relax, I will put on some intensely soft classical music on my MP3 player, and sit outside on my couch (college student, which explains the couch outside). Usually, I'll drink some hot tea and just watch the cars go by. It's best to just let your mind wander, and not focus on any one thing. Staring at the beautiful sky, or people watching, really helps me relax, especially teamed with some good old classical music.

Music can be incredibly relaxing. I like your idea with just watching ars go by to take your mind off. But I think I'm too restless to relax that way. My mind wouldn't stand still for long enough.

I usually do a few thing to relax. Lie down in the dark is one of these, maybe with a relaxing music in the background. Otherwise, a good hot bath/shower can help too. Even just stay in the bed without doing nothing (still in the dark) is relaxing to me.


myLot reputation of 95/100. taraelocin (232)   ranked 436 out of 6,691 in enjoy life  2 months ago

Good point. A hot batch can be relaxing. It takes your mind off things,keeps you lovely warm and makes you sleepy.

Hi,
There are a few things that I do, from taking a hot bath and relaxing listening to music, to having a strenuous workout which surprisingly after you've worked out hard and are exhausted, really works to de stress you. Yoga often works, taking a walk outside in nature is great for that. Not only are you with nature breathing in the air, but you're listening to all the birds chirping, etc. I have this one friend that stressed me out so much that I've told her that I've left the country for a few mos so I do know what stress is.


myLot reputation of 95/100. taraelocin (232)   ranked 436 out of 6,691 in enjoy life  2 months ago

You have a point with the workout. I dance in a group and you are so focused on your steps that you forget your worries. And afterwards you are just tired!


myLot reputation of 98/100. ilyzium (437)   ranked 4,093 out of 6,691 in enjoy life  2 months ago

Yup I find exercise to be about the number one way to relax, at least for me that is.

Hi taraelocin.Well I play games on my computer when I am tired or disturbed.And sometimes I just watch some romantic comedy feel good movies.And when I am in no mood at all I just like to sleep and go on dreaming till I feel better.But I am not that depressed or sad these days.But exams are approaching.So my bad days might come back..Anyways have a nice day..


myLot reputation of 95/100. taraelocin (232)   ranked 436 out of 6,691 in enjoy life  2 months ago

Games... well, that's a good idea as well. Anything that takes your mind off is probably relaxing. Good luck with your exams.

If it comes to relax my mind, I just ly on the bed and close my eyes. I play the slow songs and take a rest thinking nothing about anything. But when it comes to divert my mind from a place, I make myself busy with other stuffs like laptop or talk with my friends or do same kind of activities.


myLot reputation of 95/100. taraelocin (232)   ranked 436 out of 6,691 in enjoy life  2 months ago

Both strategies probably work - clear your mind or clatter your mind. Thanks for the comment.

I listen to music most of the time when i get stressed. Other than that i can do some random sketching. Or i can make some dishes and eat on my own or serve others. I think these are the ways to relax by engaging in some activity. You don't need to take part in some activity but you need to be in some work or action that distracts you from boredom and unfreshness.


myLot reputation of 95/100. taraelocin (232)   ranked 436 out of 6,691 in enjoy life  2 months ago

Distraction is always a good way to forget about things that stress you. I am surprised that so many mylotters mention it - it never came to my mind when I wrote the question.

thumbupI sleep to overcome from stress. I think its the best way to relax your mind and body. But sometime I am use to watch movies especially commedy movies to relax and forget some worries for a while.


myLot reputation of 95/100. taraelocin (232)   ranked 436 out of 6,691 in enjoy life  2 months ago

Good idea! But I usually need to de-stress first before I can fall asleep.

in the past,when i felt stressful,i would go shopping and buy a lot of unnecessary stuffs,and now,i will stay alone,just think and write,to write down the things that trouble me and throw them,and it works.


myLot reputation of 95/100. taraelocin (232)   ranked 436 out of 6,691 in enjoy life  2 months ago

Writing can relax, absolutely. I never found shopping very relaxing. That's probably a good thing for my purse!

Get lots of sleep!:) Go out with friends..talk to people I love..and, play with my dogs. Dogs are effective stress-busters.


myLot reputation of 95/100. taraelocin (232)   ranked 436 out of 6,691 in enjoy life  2 months ago

I don't have animals, but I can imagine dogs can help to overcome stress. They don't care you are stressed and want your attention. And they are cute!
