What's your favorite way to relax?
Mine is to go on a fun adventure with a loved one, or dance to some great tunes!
How about you?
Has the way you relax / released stress changed over the years?




Unfortunate I suffer from chronic stress. I've tried lots of things, like stress management, mindfulness, meditation, daily walks in nature, nothing seems to help. I still can enjoy things, but while stress might be in the background for a little while, it isn't released.
i've done a surprising amount of meditating this year. of all things, cat purr recordings and dim lighting work best for it for me.
other than that, cheesy anime with lots of people yelling about friendship.
Meditation can be very helpful! They should teach it in schools.
I used to smoke! Not a good idea. And go to concerts, lots of concerts and musicals. Now I spend time in nature, or relax and have a drink with my husband. Much cheaper. :P
Watching Star Trek: The Next Generation! :)
Photography is cool, helps me reflect and keeps my mind off things since i have the tendency to over-analyze
Punching an old mattress i put up against the wall to release anger/stress.
I like reading, writing, and watching TV.
Lately I've been coloring while listening to something on Netflix or an enjoyable podcast. There's something soothing about the combination of creativity and repetition. (I prefer colored pencils, although I have markers and crayons, too. I wish they'd make a greater variety of the Twistables colored pencils, though! They're easier on my hands.)
Playing guitar, reading a book or listening to a record on vinyl. It all depends on the time of the day and if I have anything else to do. The only part that really changed was the vinyl records, only got a record player last year.
