So I've pretty much realized I've been way beyond uptight and controlling as of late. :grumble:
So it's time to relax, yo.

    I like to go to the beach alone.. that doesn't happen a lot with two little ones but it's nice when it does. I love to just wander around the boardwalk, especially with a coffee in the wintertime... perfection. I love the beach in the winter.

    Jacuzzi at the gym. I try to sit in it almost every day of the week (work days) after working out. Even if I don't work out heavy and hard (rare) I like to sit in it.

    Seriously is the best way! My husband and I have realized that if we go more than 2 days without, we both get a irritable.

    I LOVE to read (I've read over 10k pages so far this year!). And don't laugh, but sometimes I color when I'm really stressed out. Yes, I'm a 5 year old at heart :laugh:

    How do you relax?

    Hot bath soaking in epsom salt for magnesium benefits
    Massage some lavender oil into my temples
    Meditation and slow deep breathing exercises.

    Lately I've been taking extra time at the Y (YMCA) where I'm a member at. I get my run in, shower up, and then just chill with a cup of coffee and read for about a half hour. With a large family (4 children) it's important for me to pull away completely to get my time in ... not a lot, as I love being a dad, but it's refreshing :)

    Additionally, I do like some TV/Video game time :) ... Chopped, Deadliest Catch, and the Office on the tube, as well as Skyrim, Final Fantasy, and lately Minecraft on the XBox :) ... usually I do this if my wife goes to bed early and the kids are down too ...

    Reading, cooking and photography all work for me to one degree or another.

    My OH and I take the dog for walk around the woods after dinner for 60-90 mins most evenings. My favourite time of day. :smile:

    Reading and jogging are pretty great relaxers for me. They seem to be the two things that I can focus on completely. With everything else I'm trying to do 5 or so things at once... Ah the joys of ADD!

    I know I should meditate and contract and relax muscles in turn to get an overall 'floaty' feeling but ... I drink red wine.

    It's less of a faff :D

    Playing the guitar is also a winner but less viable during the night when all I really want to do is hit some powerchords ;)

    And I'm talking REALLLLLLY good sex. I wanna get TURNED OUT. By the time I'm done, I'm just in a state of relaxed euphoria. Then I want a post-coital snack.
