How do you relax?

November 17, 2009 6:22am CST
I like to spend time just sitting reading and doing nothing - if the sun is shining then it is nice to sit in the garden whilst my dogs are enjoying the weather and just reading a book or doing puzzles in my magazines. How do you like to relax?

Weser river - The Weser river in Bremen. There are a lot of boats for the tourists that travel all day long.
Hi, mylotters. I relax while listening to music I like the mostly- retro music. It makes me feel light and free. Sometimes I also spend my time reading books, but in the last few weeks I haven't readed any book :(

Now you're talking about my favorite pastime, relaxing. I'm a crochet fanatic, I read when I'm not crocheting, I'm a nut about Sudoku and taking care of my pets is a pleasure I enjoy all day long. I have a swing in my back yard and on a warm, sunny day I love to take the guinea pig and dog outside with me. The guinea pig grazes in the grass, the dog pees on everything and I crochet or read. Sometimes I take my parakeet out (in her cage) to let her get some fresh air and she watches the other birds. Next summer I'll have to recover my swing, the material is stained and shabby. In the winter, I do nearly the same things but I include my computer, I don't know how I survived without my computer before 1994. The whole world is at my fingertips! I think I have relaxing down to a science, I do it well.

I relax on the computer quite often. It is fun and engages me with the world. I alos enjoy TV and just sitting around doing nothing. It is a good way to spend the day. Sleeping is nice as well.

Being here on the computer usually is how I relax. I also watch some TV, but I won't normally watch TV unless I know there's a show on I want to watch. After my husband gets home from work, if there's nothing on TV we want to watch, we'll usually watch a movie. On his days off we watch a family movie with the kids, then send them to bed and watch another just for us.

Same here - I usually do not watch TV unless something specific is on - if nothing is on yet that I like to watch then I simply do not turn it on!

Does the sun shine over there? We rarely see the sun from November to probably about the end of April. During the winter I relax by taking a nap during the summer I like being outside in the sun and that actually relaxes me.

To relax I like to laze in a hot bath. I like to use some essential oils like lavender. A bike ride always lets me drop off the stress along my route. I enjoy taking my two dogs out for a walk along the coast. I can feel more relaxed by reading a travel book with lots of lovely photos of tropical destinations. I find it relaxing to go on to the Internet.

I relax by sitting in bed with my laptop and a box of cereal. I love to go onto time-wasting websites! If you ever find yourself procrastinating, then waste your time by going onto www.failblog.org or www.stumbleupon.com. I love to stumble!

Some of my favorite things to do in order to relax are to read a good book, hang out on the couch and watch a movie, spend time with my wife and son, go out hiking or working out. Those are the things that I have found that help me release the everyday stress that I face with working two jobs and going to school. It's those simple things that always keep me relaxed.
