I have a full time job. I do like the job very much, just the type of work I had been looking for. But, the days at work are really very very long. It gets close to 9 pm by the time I get back home, tired and exhausted. I have to have a way for relaxtion. My favorite way is to listen to music, especially classical music, Chopin, Mozart, Brahms, Beethoven, Johan Strauss, and more. Very relaxing and helps getting rid of the stresses of the day. How about you ? What is your favorite way for relaxation after getting back home from work ?

Chopin takes my breath away! My best way to relax is to watch a good hockey game or a good movie or my favorite T.v. shows.

Yeah , watching hockey games on the TV is very enjoyable too. Ice hockey is a sensation in Canada. People spend hours together in front of the TV during hockey season. I do too, whenever I have the time for it. Thank you very much Sarah.

Oh, you are a very busy person. The days must be pretty long for you then. Do doubt, you will enjoy sleeping ! Haha ! Watching some of the shows on the TV is relaxing too, indeed. I like watching game shows like Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, and so on.

I fix computers for a living, so I like to come home and go on my laptop to play games or socialise to remind myself that there is another side to technology than the side I see at work.

Oh I see. That is a very interesting career. Good business too I would think , right ? I very much enjoy playing games online too. Not a very killed game player, just stay with simple games like collapse and tetris. Takes away the stresses any way.

Listening to music is very relaxing and refreshing , indeed. Do you have any preferences when listening to music ? Classical, jazz, and so on ? Do you keep a collection of CDs or listen to music on the radio ? Thank you for responding ?

My way of relaxation is to listen to my favourite music, and then my body seems to collapsewith total relaxation which tends to be interrupted by others...

Yes, indeed, listening to music is also my favorite way of relaxation after getting back home from work. My favorite music is classical music, very pleasant and very enchanting. I keep a collection of CDs of classical music, Chopin, Johan Strauss, Mozart, and so on.

Hi.I see a lot of people like listening music reading book or just watching television after work.I guess I would say that I relax when I go to a gym to work out.I know it looks strange but after that I jump in a jakuzi:) And of course after work on friday I go straight to a town in a pub and after that to a club like i guess half of here do the same :)

Spending time at the gym is also a very good way for getting relexed and refreshed. I used to to that too. But, these day, I have been doing jogging in the park near my house, atleast for about 30 minutes, when the weather is favorable.

Oh, that`s so tiring!I arrived home at 6-6.30 pm and it`s more than just enough, especially, the traffic in Jakarta is getting worse from day to day.After arriving home, I take a bath, then sit with my family, have a meal then do some house chores and take care of my grandma. my entertainment is getting online because I can download great music from youtube etc. I also like reading before I sleep.

Oh, you are a very busy lady. I have been to Jakarta once, a huge city. And very busy too. There can be traffic jams during the rush hours, taking a long time to get to places. Listening to music or watching concerts and movies on youtube is very good. Have a nice time.

The thing I do to relax and relieve all the stresses I accumulated throughout the day is to hang around and have some good laughs with my friends or watch some shows that I really like, most of the time, by the time I set my foot in our house, I'm already relaxed, just the ambiance of my home relaxes me, kinda odd isn't it?, especially when I see my bed, when I lay my back flat on it.

That sounds wonderful ! Hanging around and having some good laughs with close friends certainly would be very enjoyable. No, no , that is not odd at all. Home sweet home, as the saying goes. Home environment is always very pleasant.

Yeah it is definitely true. I worked at the hospital and we barely even sit down. It is always busy in there. We have to give medications, chart. Our break will be only on the lunck break. My way of relaxation is to sleep after getting home from work. Or play a computer game which I really love. In this way i get to enjoy myself and relax at the same time. A foot message will be good too.

I can sense your day at work at the hospital would be very busy throughout the day. And, just a short break at lunch time ! A good foot massage would very much help getting relieved of the physical stresses and tiredness , yes.

My favorite way of relaxing is laying on my bed and watching TV. I might listen to music on some days. It's normally peaceful music that inspires me.

Yup , that's why I prefer listening to classical music , Beethoven, Johan Strauss , Chopin , Brahms , and so on. Classical music is very peaceful and enchanting, and helps getting relieved of mental as well as physical stresses.

Yes, there are excellent comedy movies, talk shows, and game shows on the TV. I often like watching games shows, such as Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune, on the TV in the evenings. Gets pretty addicted too. After that, I would get on to myLot !

Well, since I get home at 1 a.m. in the morning from work since I work Swing Shift, I often will come home and grab like a bowl of oatmeal or something and then usually either kick back and watch some TV or come downstairs to my office and do some posting here in myLot, etc. I have been known to listen to music if I am in the mood just to relax as well.

That is very good. I like going out jogging in the park too in the evenings if the weather is good. That is very refreshing , yes , indeed. Play poker ? Just for relaxation or win some money , or for both ? That would be nice !

After returning home from Office the best way for relaxation to me is watching television. Yes it’s always gives me some relaxation. But some peoples wants so take rest after returning home but I never go for laying down on the bed and always watch television after returning home from office.

Yes, watching some of the programs on the television is very enjoyable and relaxing. Do you watch programs such as comedies, game shows, and so on. I like watching them too. Have a nice time. Good day to you.

My favorite way of relaxation is playing with my infants, if they are not here in my house listen to music, watch comedy, or be silent like meditation/sleep.

Playing with children would be fun. They will enjoy very much too. You know, meditation is one of my favorite ways for relaxation too. That very much helps getting relieved of the stresses of the day. Just thirty minutes meditation is a big help.

I have a very tight busy schedule ( which also includes spending time on mylot
) in my college and I get very exhausted by the end of the day. After having my dinner I relax along with my friends. We go for some after dinner walks, sometimes get to the juice corner have a glass of it or two trying new flavours every time we go. Then we sit at the lawns discussing whatever we feel to discuss about. That is all then I return back to my room and I see my best friends in my bed.
