For some just coming home is enough to unwind ,for others its listening to a particular kind of genre of music and for others its doing some housework .And still others have other unique ways of straightening out the kinks in their aching bones and joints. How do you relax?

i just sit down with a glass of ice tea and french fries and hamburger while watching television or movie. then if i feel tired, i just go to sleep nor even just a nap. if at home i have nothing to do but to sleep or browse internet or watch television so nothing new to me at all.

I spend time with my plants, going round my garden,watering the plants and generally being with them...It is the most relaxing activity as far as I am concerned .it relieves all my stress and makes me feel refreshed...I also like to have a cup of hot tea and sit with one of my favorite books...all the best ronny

For me I like nothing better than a long hot soak in the bath to ease away all the day's stresses, it's a wonderful way to relax, usually I put on some soft music in the background, may have a glass of something strong, now that is heaven and it all floats away and I feel so revitalized afterwards and it also aids sleep too, relaxed, warm and ready for a good night sleep.

Usually I don’t have any time to relax… its straight to bed for me around midnight LOL but nowadays I’m a little free after office till my son’s school reopens in March. Well, nowadays after office I take a soothing bath and then lie down to watch TV or read books or simply listen to music. (listening to music can be dangerous too LOL as I become so sleepy that I don’t want to get up for dinner). Other than that I might also go shopping for some groceries or visit my mom’s place for some gossip.

I relax by writing and coming here to MyLot. Reading is a favourite pastime of mine as well. I love relaxing with my cats while reading and writing. When I am doing those things and my family are around, I feel as though I have everything I am ever going to need in life. I enjoy walking my dog too when I am not too tired as well as watching good films so as you can see I am short of relaxation ideas!

I start slow music in the room and switch off the lights and relax. try to concentrate on the song lines. That gives me feel of the song and I enjoy the song very well. This is my way of relaxing, sometimes I go for shower and that helps a lot to relax. Music is such a good therapy for everything. try it :)

Getting home to see my favorite show is enough for me . Last week i have been rushing home to see curling at the Olympics. But usually it is a good movie or a hockey game I rush home to see.

Dear friend, It also depends upon my mood at that time, I may go to gym or just for jogging, swimming, at home I may just watch movies, hear musics. There are lots of way to get relaxed. But I do have to find or get time to involve in these relaxations.

I usually sit in a comfortable chair or just lie down on my bed after a long day. It's best if I would raise my legs up with several pillows to relieve the tension on my legs and back. Not to mention stretching and a cold drink after a long tiring day. Then I'd usually doze off a nap for a few minutes before I step in the shower to cool off.

There are quite a few things that I do in order to relax. I might cuddle with my husband, talk with him, I might watch a movie, read a book, just to name a few things. Basically, to help me relax I simply do things that I enjoy doing. I think that, if you do things that you enjoy doing at hope, it will most likely help you relax. This is my theory anyway.

Well strangely I find coming on myLot quite therapeutic because it allows me to detach myself from everything which has gone on in the day and by the time I have spent an hour or so answering a few discussions any stress I had will usually have been forgotten and am relatively relaxed. But for those times when I am just two stressed and can’t relax it is a case of standing under a steaming hot shower for half an hour or so followed by an old favourite movie which I know will help me to forget everything else that is going on in my life.
