hello everybody
How do you relax?
-
I'm seriously bad at relaxing, I think I just can't do it. Only thing I do when I'm overworked is watch TV, but that doesn't relax me either... Also I get fed up by it pretty fast.
So any ideas and experiences would be greatly appreciated

@lego-batman I watch YouTube often, there’re loads of entertaining and relaxing videos to choose from. I eat, cause food is like the best source of happiness. I sleep, since that is the ultimate relaxation; at it’s peak. And I come on here, to have a relaxing not so relaxing chat with nice fellas lmao
: 3 and much more. Ah and calm music. -

: 3 and much more. Ah and calm music.Eating yeah, that makes a lot of sense. LOL, yes I do sleep and it does relax me too :joy:. TWS doesn't exactly relax me, nor does it agitate me. Calm music? Do you just lie down and listen, doing nothing?

If I am in dire need of relaxing I either hit the gym or go for a run. Exercise helps me keep my mind away from problems and overthinking and it usually helps. Tho I often get the "too tired to sleep" feeling :sweat_smile:

Dancing, yoga, working out, painting, long drives, swimming, caring for animals, some people even relax by cleaning maybe that would work? -
@lego-batman I listen to music...maybe slouch on my couch n watch tv

Hmmm it depends on what level of stress I have.. haha but I do things to relax , these are the following : listening music, play musical instruments, movie marathon alone, writing anything, painting, doing crafts, beach, connect with nature, eat happy food, talk with pets, talk with the people I trust , memes, watch funny movies, play word games,bicycling, long walk,etc.

@lego-batman there are lots of ways to blow of stream and relax. I listen to binaural beats. Two tones produce a third. Some call it a brain drug but it helps me relax or get prepped for the day.

You guys are working machinesAnyways, I talk to people about pointless thing, that way I don’t use much of my energy 😁

Yap, germans right? However there are way more lazy people here than you would expect :shrug:
I haven't quite mastered meditation yet, I prolly try to hard :joy:

Going for a run sounds like a good idea indeed.

I wish I had a beach close by... Memes don't relax me hehe. Funny movies kinda do though. What kind of instruments do you play?

Both, some of these I personally do and some I know other people use. I didn't want to only give you options that work for me because we are different, what works for me might not work for you and vise versa, so I tried to give a variety of possible solutions from a variety of people
