Usually I like to take a relaxing bath to relax. I would say that a bath relaxes me the most. I always feel clean and fresh when getting out of the bath. I also enjoy watching movies and televsion, plaing games, and just laying down. Sometimes music can relax me as well. Exercising doesnt really relax me but I feel better afterwards. Drinking a drink occasionally also relaxes me.
What relaxes you?

i really want to relax both physically and mentally, specially if i want to relax mentally i would feel like speaking to any of my friends and tell them or share the issues what i have and i really feel comfortable at that time and i feel relaxed and even they give me their point of view on it and i would try to listen to them, but if i want to relax physically i would prefer to laydown for a while and also take a nap but usually i dont get this oppurtunity as my two little children dont give me time for myself and keep me occupied for the whole day.

I also enjoy talking out issues with friends. It relaxes me in a way where I don't stress out about the issue. My cousin is great to talk to about issues, or at least sometimes she is. Some of my friends are hard to reach. My cousin sometimes is hard to reach as well. So occasionally I will have no one to talk to but I guess that is what mylot is for!

very true when we are missing someone who were very close to us but due to any reason they are far from us and we arent able to reach them or reach them occasionally, it really leaves us sad and miss them too much but mylot is always available and we can just express the things what we feel and share it, there are many people like us here at mylot who feel the same.

You said the relaxing words for me to. A hot shower or bath. Some nice tv or movie time. A drink or two. It's relaxation central!! Anything peaceful and quiet with the kids out of my butt.

Reading and watching TV are mostly what I do to relax. I used to be able to both at the same time but I lost the nack and now can only read during the commercials if I want to sort of do them at the "same" time.

One time when I was watching television, I was listening to music during the commercials. It was fun and relaxing for me. I forget about doing that, you reminded me about it. I might just do it again because I enjoyed doing it. It gave me something to do while the boring commercials were on.

it's all about the ambiance for me. i light some scented candles, preferably lavender and peppermint, and then i turn on some mood music. a bath is always good but i don't really like lingering in the bathroom. i cozy up in bed with a good book and i'm as peaceful as can be.

I love taking a bath, but it seems I don't really get that much time. I love to read and it relaxes me or I play on the computer - MyLot, Facebook, etc..

normally..i'll just go lay on my bed for hours..but if i'm too stressed, i always visit my favorite church..that church has a very nice view outside..also it is not the crowded type so i can freely think and contemplate without any distractions..and by simply knowing that i'm sitting in the church with a magnificent view relaxes every cells of my body..

Whenever hubby feels up to it he will rub my back sending shivers up my spine and it feels so good. I love this when he does it first thing in the morning when I wake up. I will spend time on mylot too and I find that this relaxs me, or reading a book or yes taking a nice hot bubble bath is nice too.
Take care

I like to watch a good movie or surf the web. I love the relaxation. It's just great. I also enjoy going to see a movie at the theater or maybe to the casino to do a little gambling. These are all things that I rarely get to do so when I do, I enjoy every minute of it!

I have never gambled, other than playing a few games on the internet but even then it has been only once or twice. Maybe I should try it. I like to surf the web for funny videos or pictures. I love to laugh. Ellen always makes me laugh. I hardly ever get the chance to go to the theater. I am tending to have a bit more time to relax but I need to get some cleaning done as well.

What relaxes me the most is probably SLEEP :) I could use it any time because it just refreshes my memories and like starts a new day.

Sleep relaxes me sometimes. We all need good rest and sleep to feel good. I usually never take naps. Although here recently I have been tempted to take a nap. for instance right now I am feeling a little tired. I don't know if I want to take a nap though, sometimes taking a nap makes me feel worse.

Relaxing is a tranquil time to do absolutely nothing. Listening to my favorite Bon jovi cd or watching a thriller on television is what I need to find this happy state. Anything else is just icing on the cake.

You certainly have a way to relax. Great!
I personally feel it's hard to relax when the mind is not. When I need to relax, I need to relax my mind. There are quite a number of good music I listen to, to relax. A good hot coffee does help though. Only when my mind is relaxed I can say my body is too! When I'm relaxed I can say that I feel cool. And being cool 
makes me feel good and helps to handle difficult situations at work sometimes.
Interesting topic o2bnocn. Thanks!

My way to relax is simple. I'm just listen to Charice Pempengco songs or watch her videos.
