My days, each work day, Monday to Friday, are really very long. I would get back home fairly late in the evening, tired and totally exhausted some times. As soon as I get into my house, I would stretch out on the couch and go for my favorite way of relaxation, and that is listening to classical music. I have a collection of CDs of classical music, Johan Strauss, Chopin, Brahms, Beethoven, and more. They are wonderful. Listening to classical music makes me feel relaxed and refreshed, getting all the stresses of the day disappear. Do you have a favorite way of relaxation ? What would that be ?

My favorite way of relaxation every weekend is to go some resorts and beaches together with my family and sometime going to shopping mall with my kids to play on some fun house.

As for my way of relaxation is eating a lot of sweet stuffs especially dessert. I feel that life is very stressful and something sweet can really make my day great.

Well, most of the time I am out conducting trainings in different places. I travel a lot and usually I get home after a week. Once I am home, I always prefer to stay in my room and enjoy a good movie with my wife and son. But if I have more time, then I would usually go out to the sea and go scuba diving. I really feel relax after a scuba diving session. Its one of my best ways to relax.

For me it would be lieing in a warm, lovely smelling bubble bath with candles all around the room and a relaxation cd playing quietly in the background..makes me feel relaxed even thinking about it :o)

My way of relaxation is getting pampered at least once or twice a month wid my girl friends because i go to college and sometimes it is stressing and depressing especially now that my sched is really full coz next year im gonna be fnished (hopefully) me and my friends go to spa massage, nail art, and salon then after eat at the resto, at least twice a month when we have free time because we feel thats how we can only treat ourself after having all stress in school and after the hardwork, in that way we feel so relax at the same time we bond together and having fun maybe for us its the only time we get together the whole day we feel so good after getting ourself pampered we called it "its a girl thing day!" lol my guys friend alwasy joke with us bout that hahah!

I have started this new ritual to help me unwind after a long day at work. I run a bubble bath, light a few candles, pour myself a cup of tea, and grab a good book. I look forward to this time every day, and it seems to do the trick to help me get relaxed right before bed :)

Wow, greenline, classic music is wonderful, it sounds great! However, my favorite way is watching TV shows or reading. But if I'm too tired to do this, I will go to sleep directly while playing music with lively tunes.It's really good for relaxation in my opinion. Anyway, find own way of relaxation is quite useful in daily life. Have a nice weekend!

A long and hot bubble bath is how i like to relax. A good book and my favorite music or television program also help, Nothing puts me in a relaxing mood faster than my bubble bath.

Favorable way is to walk along the beach side and sit in the sea shore and lay down in the sand watching the sky and having a very free mind

When I was in highschool I would get home from school and Play Beethoven and Bach and Handel. I was in the orchestra. So I don't use classical music to relax. I would be too busy trying to remember if I played this piece and if I did is this version too slow or fast. The classical composer that I can Just listen to is Chopin. Every piece takes my breath away!What I do to relax is sit and see a good film. Usually a good action film helps me relax.

Hi, Out for shopping, sleep and watching TV is kinda of way for me to get myself relax. Sometimes, I will play with my son...it is so fun playing together with him and we do have a great bonding moments at home. I am not working,so I spent most of my time at home doing housechores,cooking,and taking care of my son. It does not mean I will have plenty time to relax at home. I have lot things to do too and time flies very fast. Once a while, I will listen to Cds or radio, to listen to some english and chinese songs.Actually I like to sing,and it has been quite some times never been to Karaoke. I don't have time to do it now...most of my time is spent on my son.

I go to a beach where there are only few people. It refreshes me, the sea breeze. Very nice place to hang out and just hear the peacefulness :D I'm always listening to my ipod, I don't think it relaxes me either hehe.

Nothing beats a good massage with instrumental or classical music playing in the background. A slice of cake and a cup of tea/coffee after that ralaxing massage would spell heaven for me :)

for me, i go for a walk down the neighborhood or stroll around the mall or watch a good movie in the house or much better, I go to church to meditate. I worked 7 days a week for 8 hours each day.so my mind is so stressful at all times. if things aren't doing well, that's what I do.
