There are lots of things that could be done to relax. However I just don't spend money when I relax. I don't spend money for massage. I just sleep , listen to music, and watch movie.

Hi, I'd either read a book or watch TV. Or like you said, sleep (if I can).

I just wonder on how often do you get stressed? What kind of movies do you watch and what genre of book do you read.

Quite often, especially if I've to meet a new client or present a new proposal. As for books, I get engrossed in those I like - true crime, horror, mysteries. The same with TV shows or DVDs. I enjoy horror & detective shows. Currently I'm watching the CSI series.

I use deep breathing exercises or self hypnosis. I don't usually have much trouble relaxing, now that I am retired I have a lot less stress in my daily life

How do you do it? I just wonder on how often do you get stressed in a week? Do you perform deep breathing everyday?

I don't normally do it, unless my back is hurting a lot. That's about the only stress I get these days, thank goodness

I find it very relaxing to drive comfortably and listen to music, or maybe singing along ( well, I only do this if I am driving alone, hehehe :D I don't want my passenger to suffer ). I do this every weekday, as I drive to work ( it will take me an hour to reach office ). This is almost like a private time for myself to get relaxed and clear my mind off things.

So mainly, you are saying that you got relaxed when you are driving your car? Well, my first time to hear about relieving stress while driving and listening to music at the same time. Probably you encounter less traffic then.

One of the things that I find really relaxing is walking along tracks when I see picturesque scenery like a coastline or countryside. I enjoy breathing in the fresh air and feel the benefit of getting the exercise. At home I like to read novels pr look at travel books. It can be fun to watch a film or write a story. I feel it is relaxing to stroke my dogs. I like to have a deep and warm bath with many bubbles.

Animals have this healing theraphy for people who are stressed. It is exciting to know that you write stories, what kind of stories do you write?

The best way of relaxation for me is to listen to music. I also go for drives on my bike if I am mentally stressed. These are some ways I just relax. This way I needn't spend a lot of money to de-stress. Also I chat with friends and just sleep if I can manage to relax. bourne

To relax, I sometimes practice meditation. It really makes me feel peaceful and think positive. I also sometimes, read books and try to get a good sleep. Another good thing I usually do relax is to admire the nature and the sky.

Communing with nature is best stress reliever, I believe in that. I am just wondering on how do you meditate. Do you practice YOGA or something? What kind of books do you read?
