How do you relax?

[Bateman]

Someone asked me that recently and I honestly had no answer. It's then that I realized I have been going so hard and so fast for so long that I really don't relax anymore. No joke, my answer was "work"

As this week has been really tough I am starting to realize that some of it could be because I don't have the time to/cant relax. But really what is "to relax?"

So... how do you relax? Specifically how do you relax when you are woefully short on time.

Unplug.

That's not the answer but I do understand why you would say that.

Yeah it is. It's hard to relax looking on any kind of device.

Personally I do pointless internet browsing as a tool to relax.
Usually on these boards.

But I do avoid getting involved in too much discussions. Then it's not very relaxing anymore.

If I unplug I just get bored and start thinking of all the things I should already have done at work but are late with.

This. I cannot even sleep as my dreams are all things I've messed up at work or things I need to do. It's really does my head in sometimes. I usually wake around 3am with work on my mind.

Well, w/ all that I have going on, unplugging, & napping have become great forms of relaxation & recharge.

I also enjoy spending quiet time w/ a good book, curl up in my big chair, i have my big mug of coffee or hot chocolate (in the winter) near me, & my two cats will climb up & join me & I just immerse myself in my book.

Other times, this board is where i come to relax & distract myself from day to day stresses. I run "The Six" rpg, & I enjoy the role playing w/ some wonderful ppl that I've been doing this with for many years now. This board is my little corner on the net, & i'm glad to have it, & share it w/ everyone who's here w/ me.
