    I read to relax. I love to read and don't have much time so when I have an hour to sit in my favorite chair with coffee and a book it is a really special relaxing time for me.

    Getting a massage always helps me.

    Walking around the lake with our dog.

    Really good sex.

    Gardening.

    Reading Vespers out of the Book of Common Prayer.

    Baking bread or baking chocolate-chip cookies.

    Time with friends.

    Yes, this! ;) Though sometimes it interferes with my fitness goals.

    To relax I like to:
    Hug and play with my cat
    Read
    Relax on the balcony/lay in the sun.
    Go for a bike ride.

    Being able to sit down and read a book is enough for me. I find that having a long and calm breakfast really helps my day.

    Reiki
    Meditation

    Practically everyday, once I'm up in bed I'll think about everything I did that day and think about how I could have done better. Sort of my meditation before I go to sleep.

    Leave our violent, ghetto city to get away from our stressful jobs (firefighter/paramedic & nurse) and go camping.
    Read, listen to the wind blowing through the trees and veg out...

    Gardening and baking are my therapies when I'm at home.
    Flowers and cookies don't have big attitudes...
