How do you relax?

In this new year, I have pledged to try and relax more. I tend to hold stuff inside and that is not good. I want to try and relax more. I already take hot baths, but can you suggest anything else? Please don't say burn incense. I am allergic to most scents. I'm not a big drinker, but a glass of wine every now and again is ok. I'd like some suggestions that are cheap or even better, free!

You should try to take a nice long walk. It will clear your head as long as you don't bring any distractions like an ipod, cell phone, or person to chat with. It is good for your body and mind - give it a try!!!

Thanks for the ideas! There is a park near my house. When it warms up, I'll start walking over there!

Listen to classical music. Read a book. Are you allergic to scented candles? Write, draw, paint, sew, knit, do other crafts. Do you have a porch or somewhere outside where you can lay back, close your eyes and listen to nature. That is if you have nature around you. maybe these will generate other ideas from within you. Good luck.
