BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Life Coaching What's your favorite way to unwind?

I like to chat with other writer friends on yahoo groups, oh and when the children are tucked into bed, there's Tivo. <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Stop in and share with us how you relax after a stressful day.

take care,

Leah

Honestly, I love to have a glass of wine. Probably not the best way, but it is like my little reward at the end of the day!

Trevy,

Sounds like a great way to de-stress to me. One day I'd actually like to learn about wine and start a collection.

Thanks for posting.

take care,

Leah

I love to take a walk and concentrate on all of my surroundings. Clearing my mind and hearing the birds sing, noticing the blue sky or the scent of the air is very relaxing.

A glass of wine at the end of the day is nice too!

Chloe, your favorite way to unwind really comes close to my very own! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I love to sit on our porch swing and listen to the birds sing and watch the squirrels play and wait for the hummingbirds to feed. The blue sky, scent of spring or summer and the tall green trees bring me so close to feeling new...ah, spring. It is just around the corner! <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

long super hot showers...the kind that steam up the entire room

Long super hot baths... the kind that drain the hot water heater. Also rambling walks with no set destination, preferably near woods or water.

When I've been working really hard on something, most often my first whole day off after completing whatever project it was is spent at home, in flannel pajamas, reading books and drinking tea all day.

I like to bike ride - feeling the air against my face and seeing sights in nature.

Reading and playing games with my children and then when they go to bed, writing.

I like to go for long drives on the weekend, in the morning when there's no traffic and listen to music in my car...I find it peaceful..

I also find shopping really relaxes me...especially when I find good deals...

or if I have a day off I like to stay home and just relax with a good movie and since I like to bake I find something different to always make...not a regular basis otherwise it can get fattening...lol
