How do you relax?

I know what you mena about being stressed. It has been very difficult for us lately because of Hurricane Ike. I got so stressed I went to the hospital because I started having contractions! Sleeping right now, is very relaxing for me. Even if I'm unable to sleep or nap, just being able to sit or lie down helps me a lot. I also keep a journal that tends to help me also.

When I am tired and want to relax I use to have three drinks in the night before the dinner and then relax for the night and in the morning I am cheerful to the work again with all happiness. I am active and stout all the day and again on the drink at night before sleep.

There are a lot of ways to relax. As for me, I prefer to sit in my comfortable armchair with some good book or to listen to my favourite music. Sometimes I prefer long walkings with my dog.

Besides resting, having a good laugh always works for me. When you have no one around to talk to, try watching some YouTube videos. Here's are some suggestions: try searching "mad tv 3 minute meal" or "joker interrogation scene." These aren't my videos, but I added them to my favorites since they were hilarious.

when i was in Nairobi and i was stressed out, depending on the type of stress, if it was human related i would go to a pub and drink my heart out, its funny i have a knack of facing my situations and finding solutions when am drunk,if it was money related i preferred to sleep than think about it, for example if you dont have rent you just dont have it, and thinking about it does not solve the rent problem it only makes you more stressed, at times i would listen to Kenny G or blues especially when i was angry or low and its amazing how good music can soothe the soul.

i go to the kitchen and cook!! cooking relaxes my mind and my body. and i get to taste good food too!!
