Which is your favorite way to relax?

That's a good way to relax. Sci-fi and fantasy books/movies do help you to destress the stress :)

they do indeed because i get to disappear and go on a mind adventure for a while depending on the length of reading or movie/show. that is why i like sci-fi it can be so fun!

Oh! Music is a great stress buster and when you are the musician it is really coooool! Many of my friends who know swimming too think it is relaxing. I think with the advent of phones, especially cell phones, people seriously misuse it. That is a very good way to stay out of stress when you are already stressed! I have learnt yoga and i'm a reiki healer too. This means i have learnt meditation twice, but it is shame that i do not meditate even after knowing its benefits. I think it is high time i start practicing all these healing techniques :) Thankyou for sharing your thoughts.

I am a therapist too. I practice Zen-based hypnotherapy teaching my clients how to meditate. I think it is important for therapists to meditate regularly and I am pleased to know I may have inspired you to begin practising it again.. - Derek

Staying alone can at times be more stressful. I prefer chatting the day's stories to my mother and then watch Television in solitude :)

oh! talking does make me feel better after a stressful day. beaches can be a realxing but in our cases too many people crownd the beaches just to relax. :)

Yoga and other forms of exercises do help you in relaxing. They relax the tensed muscles and also stimulate blood circulation. Thanks for sharing your relaxing technique :)

I love playing computer games too, that is a good way to remove stress. But when i want to relax, i take rest, coz sitting in front of the computer adds to my shoulder, neck and hip pain :)

Oh! sleeping is very relaxing. Eating, yes of course, is a good way to release stress but will effect our health in the long run :)

That's a simple but great way to relax :)

That is truly relaxing. Hmmm.... i can feel the effect :) Thanks for sharing.

Socializing with friends and peers can also be considered a good way to release stress. It works like magic when you talk to people and release your tension. :)

Running - that's actually true. But i have never tried it. I do understand that the air and the people outside can make you feel really good after a stressful day. Have you noticed how people behave in different ways at public places like park, railway station, temples, etc., it is really funny to watch how people act and react and it is a real good way to release stress :)

sooooper! a good way to start your day - lively and fresh :)

I know many people sleep away their tiredness. I avoid sleeping because when i close my eyes i start dreaming all the stressful events. Like you said, i prefer watching TV all types of entertaining shows and cartoons too :)
