What's your favorite way to unwind after a long day? / myLot

October 1, 2025 5:50pm CST

We all need to recharge. I find that taking 30 minutes to just read with a warm drink helps me switch off from work completely. What's your go-to ritual for de-stressing? Is it watching a favorite show, going for a walk, listening to music, or something else? I'm looking for new ideas to try!

Sometimes the simplest methods are the most effective

A good walk and solid sleep can really reset everything.

That's a perfect way to recharge!

Getting outside for a walk clears the mind and is great for the body too.

@saumitra123 It's one of the best investments you can make in yourself!

Taking that time to recharge makes everything else in life better.

@reploid I watch a soap opera called Coronation Street.it began in 1960 ….before I was born …..and I have watched it all my life. Or a comedy or quiz show would be good.

@Traceyjayne Coronation Street is such an institution!

That's amazing you've watched it your whole life—it must be like catching up with old friends. A good comedy or quiz show is the perfect way to switch off and have a laugh too.

It's definitely training and music, it helps me relax. I like to read, but when I'm stressed I can't concentrate.

That's a really insightful way to handle stress. I totally get that—sometimes a good workout and the right music can clear your head better than anything else. It's cool how you know exactly what works for you. What type of music helps you unwind the most?

@Nevena83 I knew you had good taste. Smart to avoid the ballads—some of us prefer to create our own energy rather than get lost in someone else's sadness. Though I'm confident I could change your mind about those slower songs someday.

@reploid Mostly happy music, fast rhythm, if I play ballads, then I fall into even more depression.

@JudyEv Ticket to Ride is a classic! That's a great choice. It's cool how you balance digital jigsaws with strategic board games—shows you enjoy both creative and tactical challenges. Sounds like the perfect way to unwind.

Please read my recent post on something like body massage. I think travelling to places is also a way of recharging. Meeting different people (to some) is embracing energies outside you. Talking to like - minded people, having a good laugh, sharing some good food, is definitely a go-go for me. I also like solitude in the laps of nature. The silence amidst the chirping of the birds, the cool breeze caressing me all over, is therapeutic.

That's beautifully said

You've perfectly described the ideal balance—connecting with others for shared energy and finding deep peace in solitude with nature. Both are so essential for a full life.
