I do adult coloring for awhile now.

Fly fishing out walking round a lake sitting down when I want listening to nature and reflecting on how life is great

 

[ickihun]

Reflection is always good. Inner peace cannot be prescribed and delivered.

Recently read how much stress affects the heart.
Alot!

I have an allotment, so on a nice day I go there and dig - it's very peaceful.
Alternatively, walking my dog.

I love to read and a walk up to the woods and ponds is therapeutic, I love looking at the water, the ducks and swans.............

I hoe on my allotment. Having osteoarthritis I cannot dig but I have mattocked instead. Just this week I found the magic key that unlocks the fortified gateway to enough material to go no dig. Yay. There is nothing better than having lunch gathered from the crops with a cuppa and admiring the results of my work. I knit and do crosswords. I try to do mindfulness but the family keep joining in and I collapse with laughter which can be very painful.

I take my camera for a walk in one or other of the local parks find a nice quiet spot either by one of the lakes or one of the high spots with a good view and just enjoy the view and the solitude.

I love being out in the countryside with my border collie. I alway take my camera and binoculars. Have learnt so much about wildlife and always new things to see. Spotted an otter for the first time last month.

We have a campavan and I am really lucky to be able to camp in some special places with friends at least 6 times over the summer.

We used to go to a lot of small music festivals in the summer and concerts in the winter but they have become quite budget breaking at the moment. I still listen to a lot of concerts on the radio/internet etc. I love music and play the drums which is like meditation for me.

You can't beat a good long walk, reading is good too as well as relaxing with a nice bottle of red wine

 

[Just_Me_Rachel]

I spend hours sitting on the couch, mug of coffee in hand, listening to music / watching movies / on social media
I write too, pages of poetry and journal and blog posts. Random letters or emails. Anything, as long as it is made of words!

Without a blink - showering. It works its magic every time.

And, my all time favourite: the beach. I love nothing more to sit at the beach watching the waves bob up and down, watching the sun reflect into the water, seeing the blues and greens and white all join together to join a mass colour of beauty.

I love to dance. Line. Partner. Ceroc. Preferably to a live band. Festival is even better. It leaves all worldly worries behind

 

[centaur68]

sounds stupid but weight training/ exercise helps me relax.. trying mindfulness but mind wanders too much !! lol.. recently started kayaking & that really helps relax me, esp on rivers / sea around Dorset.

 

[Squire Fulwood]

My life is relatively stress free so I am often relaxed. I walk in the woods, cook, go on the internet, watch films and nap. I am happy with this. Other people may cause stress since I don't see some of them until they have a problem but I can often fix it so no great stress.

A drive to the Lake District and a nice walk/ picnic, but only in good weather

If at home slobbing on the sofa with a nice glass of Port (evening)
