Other Ways To Relax?

[Rev’s Sis]

Hello Ladies,

Other than dressing, what other ways do you like to relax?

I enjoy floating in water, listening to music, and breathing techniques. I have also tried guided meditation recently and enjoy eating chocolate every once in awhile. Thank you.

Thanks for creating this topic. I was considering posting a similar topic after a week long camping trip with my family.

Being in nature relaxes me. I particularly enjoy being in the forest, but anywhere rural or semi-rural just melts the stress away.

Although I live in a very populous area I am fortunate enough to work outside in the forest, which makes work less stressful from time to time.
I also enjoy playing my electric bass guitar, playing video games , and vegetating with an adult beverage.

Me too. I love being outside in nature, and then later on playing a video game. 🙂

I do a 3 mile jog every morning in a wooded subdivision .  Sometimes I see wild turkeys and the occasional deer. It’s nice knowing we still live in an environment where wild animals thrive.

Agreed. I live out in the country, and jog a mile a day so I can relate. I often see deer in the evening, and they come up to feed in front of my house quite often. Oh, deer. 😉

when I can’t do anything else, I listen to wave crashing videos on YT.  close your eyes with a good pair of headphones and you can almost feel like you are there.

Hi Sis,

I don’t know if it’s relaxing while I’m doing it, but there is nothing like a good workout while listening to some loud fast music. Afterwards I am very relaxed! Riding bikes with my wife is pretty relaxing, and watching movies too.

I do that too, Lara! I like to “rev up” with a good workout, and some fast music. I often listen to my Rocky IV soundtrack. Then when it’s over, I sit back, relax, and watch a movie. Thanks for sharing.

I write. Almost anything. I also like to fish, as long as I don’t catch anything, I’m fairly happy. It was a way to get away from a now ex-wife. She drove me insane, so much so I started to go fishing, which she didn’t’t enjoy so it was a bonus for me. Now I am married to a woman who likes to fish, but she doesn’t drive me insane so it’s okay.
Writing comes easy to me and it’s highly therapeutic too.

Another way I like to relax is petting my black and white cat “Spook” and I personally believe that the sound of the “purr” is the most soothing sound ever. It’s purrfect! 😺

I ride my Harley or side by side. Sorry to say but being from Wi. I also drink too much more often than I should. And the cabin is a great away although I split weeks with my ex.

Hello all
I like to play guitar and also build 4 string “cigar box ” style guitars. Also love making dresses on my sewing machine.
My incredible wife and I own a campervan and we try and get away to the coast or countryside at least once a month, although the camper is a CD free zone, which i am happy with,as she puts up with me most other times!

Dressing is good but going out widow shopping while dressed is even better, more relaxing!

Hey girls!

being out on my boat while enjoying a nice glass of red wine and listening to music always melts the stress away.

my wife and I enjoy all kinds of music , generally played loud. Before you know it we’re dancing in the kitchen, living room or out on the back deck. It clearly gets the heart rate up but also let’s us forget about the stresses of life even for just awhile.

Riding my bike on a pretty day.  A little sunbathing.   In the evening watching a movie along with a bit of marijuana.

Celeste,

I can relate to riding a bicycle. I also love to ride my old Super Bronc mini bike in the country, but that’s more of a thrill!

Hi Sis. For me, it’s mostly comic books and working out, or going for a nice walk. Yoga is pretty great for relaxation too.

Hi Rev’s Sis

When I was a kid I played classical French Horn and flute. A few years ago I took up the flute again. Until covid hit I was even taking lessons. I splurged and purchased a nice intermediate level Haynes flute in sterling silver and I just love playing it. I practice when I am stressed out and always feel better afterwards.

Hi Rev’s Sis!  That is an important question.  We all need to learn how to relax, it’s so important.

Like many, reading is my lifelong way to relax.  If I am not reading something  it means I’m stressed out.  Music is a mainstay too – always has been.

One thing that relaxes me is being around animals.  Be they  Cats, dogs, birds, possums, rabbits, raccoons… whatever, I will hang out with and feed ’em all, lol.  Dang, I sound like an old girl.  I AM NOT yet feeding pigeons in the park 😄.

And bubble baths!  C’mon, everyone finds a nice scented bubble bath relaxing, don’t they?  Lights dimmed… classical music in the background… maybe a glass of wine… and lots of bubbles! 🙂

Rev’s Sis –

I used to do a lot of fishing and relaxing on the beach, along with that a lot of TV watching binging on show series and movies.  Since the pandemic my outside activities have pretty much come to a halt and I’m having a hard time getting started in them again.

XOXO

One of my biggest character flaws is that I’m basically an idler, so a lot of what others would do to relax I use as an escape from the things I should be doing. Watching movies and TV boxed sets, listening to music and podcasts, drinking (although not to the excess I used to), and generally daydreaming (the latter mainly at work). But if there’s one thing I find genuinely relaxing, it’s reading; all kinds of fiction, history, biographies etc. I can, as they say, lose myself in a good book.

Lol, I am so very similar Amy.  To relax is to escape from it all, in a way.  Must we regard it as a character flaw?  😉

Sis,

That’s a really good question. I love to go shopping, apply makeup, take a hot shower, eat, watch a movie, ride my bike, read a book, and cuddle up with my plush teddy bear at night. 🙂

I also love to listen to music, but the problem is when I listen to music, I like to “rev up” so I’m not really relaxing! Giggles.

Love, Rev

Revel, it’s the same with me and music. I have wide tastes but it tends toward fast and loud.
