I was sitting here, listening to a video and started wondering what others do to relax. Do you watch TV? Listen to Music? Play Games? Do adult coloring? Read a book? Take a walk? What do you do? I do all the above depending on the time or what the weather is like. I dont watch TV a lot but I do at times, to watch TWD or something I was told is good. I love my music. I do play a few games on Facebook and if I have lots of time I love Starcraft! I also love to read. Walking is nice and good for me too. I also do adult coloring, mostly in the winter or when Im laid up and sick. So what do you do?

I like to listen to good music, talk to interesting people, and enjoy good conversations with my wife and a few of my friends, both in the 3-D world and here at myLot and Facebook and Twitter, Tumblr and a few other writing sites. Mainly if I have time I like to garden, walk and shop.

I don't know why but I forgot about my gardening, could be because girl child goes out and is always talking so I'm not listening to the birds and such and relaxing. LOL!

At the same time? I do it at the same time and it drives my husband nuts as I'm always asking what happened and stuff.

I once again picked up my knitting needles and am working on hats and a few sweaters for my son and DIL. They are expecting their first child in December. Knitting is very relaxing for me. I can sit and watch TV while knitting as long as there isn't too much change in the pattern.

I used to crochet and did baby blankets. Now if I do a craft it is scrap-booking, making jewelry from beach glass and the likes. I like sewing too, I want to try quilting, if and when I find the time.

I escape in a book, into the land the author made up. I really love to dig into a house and take it from bad, paint it and make it beautiful, I find painting walls relaxing although its work.

I like to study seismology because it's so different from my everyday job but still applicable to life in Japan. I think myLot is a relaxing thing too. I used to read all the time, and should go back to that too. I like fantasy such as Harry Potter. I also enjoy reading about linguistics and culture.

It depends on my mood. I'm not much of a fan of TV. I mean, I enjoy quite a few programmes but I'm not one for staring at the screen for hours on end. I'll sit and watch something if I'm really into it. Other than that, I like to do puzzles. At the moment, I'm quite into hanjie (nonagram/picross) puzzles but I like crosswords and other things, too. I also enjoy music, colouring, walking, writing, woodwork, needlecrafts, and tons of other things. There are times, though, when I want to do so many things and I can't relax anyway! I'm quite enjoying my relaxation time now, just responding to discussions here on myLot!

Yes I totally understand that wanting to do many things. Here I still multi-task. lol I cant sit for long for some reason doing TV shows. I used to do puzzles all the time with my girls. Haven't done one in a long time.

I love the smell of it brewing but that is it. I cant stand the taste and it actually makes me sick for some reason. I drink water mostly and juice once in a while.

When I am resting, I do more listening to music and in the long sleep will drive it self to my domain, eventually from relaxation to full sleep

We all have our preferences. I relax with anime and video games if in a really stressed out mood, and at times, it helps to play with the pups and run around, enjoying the outdoors. Reading is a good way to calm down also, but it sort of puts a strain on the eyes, especially if they are aching. Then there is playing with the liddle ones, the children. Just hearing their laughter and seeing them all happy.

Nothing like a smiling, laughing baby or child to cheer a person up. I didn't add walking that is what I used to do. Good selection.
