How do you relax

I have many ways of relaxing. I either read a book, listen to music while singing, and eat while doing the above. Or i like to watch T.V by myself without any noise at all.

I like to read, watch a movie at home or paint. having snacks at the same time helps, too :]

Reading, cross stitch or sleeping. Sometimes I'll play one of my mindless pc games. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

watching my all time favorite movie city of angels is what i do to relax..also smoking and having a coffee is good when the weather is not hot..i also go to the salon to have a foot spa and have my hair done when i'm super stressed..also i wanna have a long bath listening to music..thats how i do it..neither one of those.

Hi TerryZ, I like to relax with a good book too, but I also like to spend some time each day in silence. I just find a quiet place, get comfortable and relax. I try to clear my mind as much as I can and not think of anything. It's difficult, especially at first, as we are not use to just 'being'. The clue here is not to get upset if you find yourself thinking about something you have to do or whatever. Just relax again and start over, it gets easier with time. Remember never 'try to relax', it defeats the whole purpose, just relax. In time it can become a wonderful experience. Remember also that we are human 'beings', not human 'doings', sometimes we just need to 'be'. Hope some of this makes sense to you. Blessings.

Hi TerryZ, usually I relax like you while reading a good book in bed, and eating some nuts while reading, combining these two is doing me a lot of good mentally;) An other thing I like is grab my camera and go out and about and find some nice looking place in nature where I can take some good shots, like the one attached. Love nature and brings me peace of mind;) TheFortunes

Nothing eases stress better for me than a nice warm bubble bath, I've been taking baths for as long as I can remember and it always makes my day a little better. Also, I'm ashamed to say, I eat to calm myself down too...naughty I know!

Well my Way of relaxing is lying in my Bed at Night and reading my Book and loose myself in another World I just love that time as nothing bothers me while I am reading I am not in this world I am somewhere else

Get a manicure or pedicure, read a book on the balcony, watch a good girlie flick with munchies LOL, go for a walk, sleep or catch up on some tv shows i've missed.

a good foot spa is my favorite way to relax. and a cup of coffee after the spa is a +.

Relax?? Relax?? I don't have time to relax much...LOL--I'm always UP to something....like recently working on two of three grants..still need to do the third, my fall cleaning, and working on that flyer for that pet rescuer...writing articles, short stories Just kidding..I do take SOME time to relax by taking a nice hot soak in a tub, with candle lit and incense going...then fix a little late night goodie to eat while I plop on one of my DVD movies to watch awhile, then go to bed and cuddle up with a book to read for a bit, that is if Pyewacket allows me to read...he seem to think reading is boring and usually likes to lie on my book while I try to read--but I do this little ritual every night

I relax in a number of different ways...massage is great and thankfully I have a hubby with magic hands that continually help my body relax after being at the computer most of the day. I love hot soaks with Epsom salts within the bubbling jets in our tub. I fill it up, light some candles and incense add bubble bath in a favorite scent put on some calming music and say "ahhhhhhh' as my body sinks into the warm water. I also have a sanctuary up in our attic filled with special objects that remind me of my spiritual passages. I light candles, lie down, put on contemplative music that stills my mind and I do to that Quiet place Within. Doing yoga helps to bring mind and body to a more relaxing place. Walks in nature help, snuggling with my Sweetie and watching a movie with our 2 dogs and 5 cats. Dancing and losing myself in the music is another good way for me to find a calm center. Playing computer games, going shopping and visiting friends are all activities that assist me in releasing tension and everyday stressors.

I like to curl up on my sofa under my duvet, with my boyfriend and some chocolate, and watch trashy tv or a movie. It's actually one of my favourite things to do on the weekends! Other times i enjoy running a steamy hot bubble bath and lighting lots of scented candles and lying back in it until the skin on my fingers and toes goes all wrinkly. Sometimes i even drift off!

i like to go out ,enjoy the fresh air,the beauful flowers and it good to my health too.sports are good ways to relax

i too love to read a great book. it is one of my favorite things to do. i love to sit and watch tv which is my other favorite thing to do. i have never gotten a massage before but my wonder 17 year old son has gotten me and my very best friend a day at the spa for my birthday!! i am so excited and can't wait until my birthday!!

Thanks for the best response hun :-)

hello terryz!many people have their different ways to relax,for me i always talk with my friends online,and also i like reading novels,listening music,watching TV or even cooking something delicious.

My method to relax is to take a bath and then lying on the bed,don't think anything.If you have a girlfriend to give you a massage ,it is more great.

Get Active! Being active makes me forget all worries. I'm too focused on whatever activity i'm doing to be stressed. At work I watch nature clips at http://www.relaxwithnature.com It always works for me.

Funny, but I relax by surfing the internet. When I'm online chatting with people, or playing games, or whatever it is I'm doing, I'm not thinking about finances or relationship troubles.....I'm just vegging out.
