How do you relax. Do you meditate, drink, take 'substances' exercise or something else?

I drink...But try to meditate when I have the time....a game of golf seems to get rid of frustrations...but I can only get a game in once a month If I am lucky.

I have some hypnosis cd's that have celtic music that is great to relax with.........again..when I have time!

I go 'Extreme Beagling'!

Eat lots of chocolate :)

Lucky you, how do you manage to keep free of frustration when playing golf ? It only seems to add to mine, maybe there is some secret I don't know of ?

Any physical exercise followed by a period of rest I find very relaxing.

Yoga.

Tai Chi.

Dancing.

Laying down on a garden swinging bench hamock type thing and just looking up at the clouds / stars and having time out to let my mind rest ...

No thoughts ... just seeing the beauty of nature all around me.

Just simply listening to music.

Since I joined the gym, I have become so relaxed. The gym itself is a bit stressful, but when i leave and go home, right through, for about 3 days i feel calm and relaxed.

is where I usually start but take me away from bad people and I don't need it.

Treat the game as a game and not as a competition.

I like to just close the curtains, make myself a nice warm drink, get into bed and watch a DVD- Work's everytime.. That's if I'm feeling a bit down in the dumps..

If I'm stressed or angry, the punchbag works everytime.. Although I have broken it about 6 times! Not my fault the 5 mile drive home from the city centre is so stressful!

If it's nightime, it's good to go for a quiet drive and listen to a nice chilled out CD. No traffic, no other noises.. Just you, the road and the music 8)

Valium... It easies the pain...
:help:

We go camping and fishing down the beach. There is nothing more relaxing than coming back from a day in the boat, eating dinner with a nice glass of wine and looking at the stars. Heaven truly is right here on earth!
