Some people relax during exercise,and listing to music of their choice.I relax by laying in bed are the sofa an read a book,are magazine. If your a beach person you can relax on the beach in the warm sun,and listen to the sea. if i am sick i just lay in bed an read books an do puzzle,some of my friends may visit an we talk. Some people feel relax buy just communicating with people of their interest too, by sharing thoughts an idea that they have in mind. So you can do the one you like best but their are many ways to relax . Have a wonderful weekend.

My favorite way of relaxation is to listen to my favorite music. After a long day at work, I get so tired and stressed by the time I get back home. So, I have to have a way to relax, and I have found that stretching out on the couch and listening to music is a very good way. I keep a collection of CDs of classical music for that. I like classical music very much, very beautiful and very enchanting.

How about going shopping? Shopping relaxes me, when I am doing shopping, all I focus is shopping and the price.

To stop myself from getting bored and to chill out and have fun i either come on here or other social sites, or i tend to have a few friends round.I am stuck indoors, so it is a case of finding things that interest me, oh and i also make cards as a good pass time.

Hi Hunter! Welcome to Mylot! If you are sick, I think it is best to take a bed rest and drink lots of fluids. If you don't have anything to do, I think you can find something that you can do that could make you feel relax. On weekends, I usually read a book while on my bed. Sometimes, we watch dvd. There are really so many things to do, just know what interest you and I'm sure you can find ways for you to relax.

Well, if i don't have anything to do, i relax by watching TV that will interest me. If there's none to my liking, i would read a magazine or a book. Other than that, i will open the computer and read all the discussions at Mylot. If anything catches my interest, then i will respond. But if i am sick, i will just lie in bed and listen to music.

There are several things that I do to relax. Going for a walk is definitely a good way to relax. It's certainly something that helps me. Sometimes, reading, watching a movie, or doing some meditation or relaxation exercises also help me relax. These are something that I just like doing. So these are maybe some ideas. Just maybe try doing some activities that you like doing.

When I relax the first thing I do is pick a quiet spot to lay down, I make sure I pick a place where I know nobody is going to barge in and bother me. Once I pick that spot, I lay down on a comfortable mat and I take out my Ipod and listen to the rain drops, birds chirping, the ocean, thunder and etc. (I bought this CD that they gave me a whole bunch of relaxing music, people tend to relax with sound effects.) Then, I close my eyes and breathe in and out and let the music evade my body. I close eyes and eventually doze into a nice peaceful nap. When I wake up I feel so relax.
