I was wondering... Outside of getting on your computer, what do you guys do to relax? In this day and age, it's so hard to remain stress-free. So, I was curious to know what you guys used as an outlet. Please share as much as you'd like. You never know, I may find a new way to relax. Very Happy

I am a book reading fool. I read on average a book every two to three days. I can not get to sleep unless I have read a little first. I go through reading withdrawals if I am not around my books for any length of time. study

Trebenaid, what kind of books do you read? I use to read all the time, but now mostly on computor. Get bad headaches when I read a lot. As for stress, I have a good screaming match with my boyfriend, and after getting everything out it makes me feel more relaxed, lol. Sounds silly but it works. The most relaxing thing I do is when I wake up really early is going out and sitting on my porch and just listening to nature,(living in country helps). Theres a small pond out from our house and the fish jump, the birds singing and even sometimes you can see the deers. I love it early of the morning. flower

I play the WII , watch the soaps , and play with my dog and kids.
the most relaxing is my dog , all he wants is love , he never judges or gets mad , all he needs is food water and lots of hugs , and he returns the love unconditionally.
Plus he is soft and feels good to pet....lol

I love to read and take a hot bubble bath after the kids are in bed. It is the most relaxing thing ever. If I don't get to take my hot bath everynigh watch out, lol. I also like sitting outside on the porch swing with the kids listening to the rain.

I love to come here. Read jokes, find jokes. Comedy is a key to life! You are here, now time to have fun!! You gotta laugh now and then or life is pointless.

I have a tanning bed at home, so when I really need to relax I get in for about 15 mins, the uv lite does wonders flower

Sounds like we have some relaxed members already, lol. I love books too. I read one just about every 2-3 days as well. I love to collect old books. I'd love to sit on the porch in the mornings, but I'm in the middle of town and I'd be looking into someone's house, lol. Not so relaxing there. But nature and animals are a wonderful way to relax. I go fishing with my hubby, lil bro, and dad and just feed the animals around.. even the fish, lol. It does help me feel more balanced. Laughter is the best medicine. Very Happy

I come here to read jokes and laugh and watch Fancy's videos. You guys really crack me up. That's proven to relieve stress. Very Happy

Great ideas guys. Any more?

Oh fishing, I so love to go fishing! I love camping out and sitting by the fire. Taking a walk along the river bank. Just go for a "joy ride" through some country roads. Well, you can X that now with gas being so high. Light some candles, turn out the lights, and listen to some great music.

Ahhhh... I used to do that a lot when I was single. Light candles... incense... grab a glass of wine... turn on some R&B... pure heaven. Now, my hubby has the tv going nonstop and when he's not around.... all I'm in the mood for is silence, lol. I did get a great meditation cd free on here that I love and listen to more than anything. Very soothing.
