Hello friends, I was wondering what do you do to relax yourselves after a hard day or whatever. Do you get comfy and drink or smoke, do you listen to music or you know people who can calm you down and make you feel good. What are your thoughts on the subject?

I like to relax while listening to the music. Sometimes I even take a little nap when getting comfy no the sofa. For me it's very important to have a little rest before taking on other things I have to do at home.

When I am wound up and stressed, usually at the end of the day, I got up to my room, draw the curtains, light a couple of candles, put on one of my meditation/relaxation cds, sit quietly and breath deeply. After a few moments I feel more peaceful and relaxed.

Hi!..well I love music..I usually sing while listening to my favorite songs to relax my mind..And I dance! It's my number one stress reliever..sweating and moving also makes me physically fresh and conditioned..=)

I usually just come home, talk to my husband, watch a bit of television or a movie, read, little things like that. I don't do a whole lot, when I come home after a long day at school.

i used to sleep a lot but these days i dont have so much time to sleep as my target of getting 500$ in two months to pay my course fee... these days i listen to music and whenever i get time i sleep thats it... sleeping is best way to take rest and deep sleep is nothing but meditation in which you will get so called cosmic power..

Life has become very very busy these days as many of them are increasing their desires which are making them to get engaged in the selected activities. There were days when person use to get some time to relax but,now a days the allotted 24 hours per days is not at all sufficient.If another 2 or 3 hours are given even then human being is not satisfied. Hence the term relax has less place in the present day life. But,I am a person of less desires - and am contended with what I am,Therefore I have more time to relax -mostly listening to good music and reading books of my choice.

for me, i generally read at night to relax after a hard day of work. i find that this really relaxes me. i also sometimes will watch some tv, depending on what is on.

HI, most of the time, I will take a warm bath and eat my favorite food, listen to music and watch my favorite TV program. Or, sleep. lolz Most of the time, I just enjoy my time a little without thinking of anything... u know away from everything in ur mind.

I haven't actually thought about this in a long time. I don't get the chance to just relax and most of my days are long! I really like to sit down with a magazine and a cup of coffee but my sleep patterns of late won't allow it! I usually try to get in bed about an hour before I have to sleep so I can read. That way my mind is not on the day when I go to sleep.
