How
do you relax?Reading seems to be the main thing right now. Trying to catch up on some
Kerouac since they have two festivals for him here. Also the place I just moved to is
right across the street from a decent size park with a couple of basketball courts.

Outdoor activities such as hiking or skiing
work wonders althgouh I'm often too wiped out to motivate myself to these things. A hot
shower and a candlelight room with soothing music and nice sents works. Laying around in
the sun or in front of the TV don't really do the trick since they tend to make me more
aggitated.

Listen to music or read. I like them both,
because they kind of let me take my mind off of stressful stuff... like school, the
dentist, high school, and the 20 billion projects I need to complete before next
year!!!!!!

Reading mindless, formulaic private

The PERFECT relaxing evening:
1. Wear the most comfortable clothes you have. I perfer a big sweater and comfy jeans.
2. Turn off all the ringers so you won't be disturbed.
3. Make sure no one is home except you. If this isn't possible, go to aroom by yourself.
4. Get yourself something really rich and fattening to eat.
5. Curl up in your favourite couch or chair with a blanket.
6. Turn on your favourite TV show or music.

Fill up the whirlpool tub, light some nice
candles, pop in a Tori Amos cd... ahhhh nice. Or just get in the car and scream
until I feel better. Whatever works.

Many ways. I like a hot bath with a good
book. I enjoy reminscing about the days when I didn't even feel a need to relax. I like to
look through an old photo album, mine or someone elses. A hot cup of tea and a really
challenging crossword puzzle. Throw a lawn chair up on the dock and stare out at the pond.
Good conversation...just plain old good conversation. Get online and surf random sites.
And my favorite way to relax - a drive. Doesn't have to be a long, country drive...but I
enjoy getting behind the wheel without a destination. Good question - made me relax just
answering it.

My idea of relaxing is to read a
book, while taking short breaks to pet my cat and watch
out the windows at my bird feeders. No TV or computer.

I put on my flannel pajamas, get into my bed
and watch tv. If I get bored I read a magazine or book until I fall asleep. I also have a
cup of hot chocolate or tea and eat something fattening and evil, like Oreos! Hmmm, I
think I need to go relax.....

its rather odd, i go skateboarding. it
strenuous activity and if i'm real upset, anxious , or nervous about something i go
skating, and sometimes i just love to go out, try a new trick, and totally wipe out, and i
realize that everything is gonna be alright
Chris2, 15

I like to put on my comfy pajamas and warm
socks and a nice warm cozy blanket and sit on the couch and watch tv. If I just need to
relax at the end of the day, I just enjoy reading a book before bed.
Stephanie, 24
TX USA
A nice hot bath, a back rub. Or I find that
gardening is very relaxing and tranquil for me.
Janet, 42
E. Brunswick, NJ USA
Listen to punk or alternative rock.
It sounds weird, but the noisier and faster it is, the
better I feel.
Karen2, 14
Boston, MA
USA
I relax primarily by writing, reading (read
32 books for far this year), hanging out with my animals, watching pro wrestling,
doing the cross-dressing thing (don't ask me why I do that), and going for walks. Hey,
that stuff works for me.

I like to relax by playing video games and
looking around for interesting things online. I prefer to relax using my laptop on my bed
with the TV on.

watch a good cary grant or paul newman movie

With a good conversation or a good book.
Good books have the advantage of always being available.

have time for either.

I love
curling up with a good book on a rainy day. Hot cocoa, chocolate, and grilled cheeses only
make it better.
