What do you do to relax?

karenlyn · 10-10-2006, 11:05 AM

Here's a good question for everybody. What do you do at the end of a long day or even longer week to relax?

I like to read a book if the weather is bad (maybe in the bath?) or work in the garden when it's good.

What's your relaxation secret?

I read occasionally, but really don't have too much time for that. What I do is go hiking with my kids in the woods. Sometimes, it is not too relaxing though if the kids are misbehaving, but getting out into Nature usually revives me.

I play a MMO and socialize online lol.

This may sound boring, but in the event that I actually do get a chunk of time to myself I like to sleep. It really makes me feel invigorated and I think I'm still trying to catch up on my sleep from having two babies in under two years.

I love to take a hot bath and read a good book. I also like to head to bed early whenever possible especially when I am stressed and need to just relax for a few.

Sigh... some of these suggestions make me jealous! I haven't had a nap since I was pregnant with my first child... and a soothing bath since I was a teen probably.
Every moment of my day must be filled with something productive in some way.

Currently I'm trying to set aside wind-down time on an evening for either reading or playing on the Playstation.

I usually watch a good movie. If I cannot find any good one, my next choice is to read a book, listen music, take care of my cats, do some shoppings, especially during week-ends, only for my pleasure, take a walk around. Sometimes, I go to the cinema. Well, at least when they have a movie worth seing it on the big screen. Lately, I amuse myself trying to edit my own favorite books (no, I'm not a writer !).

Most of the time, I usually play videogames, go to movies...or even program a bit.
