We all need to wind down at some point...

Music is good at changing my mood. If I'm stressed it will usually help the stress go away. I find it hard to focus on other things when I'm really stressed out, it just sort of eats at me for awhile until I can get over it. As for just unwinding and relaxing... I like to watch TV, or just have a good long conversation, sometimes when it's nice hubby and I will build a fire outside and sit and stare at it all night.

I think that mylot helps me to relax.I can just be myself in here, and I am happy abou that. I just sit back in my easy chair, read discussions, and decide which ones I can give feedback on. This is a great community, and I am proud to be a part of it.

I don't ever relax. I keep going at an accelerated pace until I fall down and go to bed. Then I start over in the morning. I am writing on too many sites.

relax? Is that a real thing? I thought it was just a fairy tale. Can you buy it somewhere? Seriously..... I have no set way anymore. I'm sure I'll get it back one day... like when the kids are grown.

I always tend to pick up a good book, lounge back, and just veg out with it.

It depends on what kind of mood I'm in, how I decide to relax. I genuinely love reading and writing, so I spend a lot of time just doing that. I'll read over my favorite novels again, pick up a new book, or go online and write on my blog. I also thoroughly enjoy having intellectual and insightful conversations with people. I'll spend hours of my time going back and forth over Facebook messages with my friends. We talk about anything from politics to the history of the ancient world, and it definitely sparks food for thought. Even when you're just laid back and relaxing, I think it's important to always keep working out your mind, you know? Never stop learning, never stop craving knowledge, even when it's time to sit back and relax.
