Default Relaxation Techniques

What are some things you do to relax? Maybe from a terribly frustrating day or was just to unwind...Things that aid you to chill or things that you do to help yourself chill...I need ideas...

Margaritas.

I find listening to good music on good equipment very soothing.

Pets - dogs especially, can be very therapeutic.

I'd imagine because a warm/cute/cuddly being would be a welcome thing to come home to. I love dogs, however my current lifestyle just won't allow me to care for one in a suitable manner.

Tons of reports that show that folks with pets live longer and are happier.

I think some of the people here with pets will confirm this.

I forgot to add....Driving my car also calms me down.

Jacuzzi. Other than that I'll make a nice cup of herbal tea, maybe some yoga, or otherwise just cozy up with a blanket and book on the sofa.

I agree with the pets. We've got 3 Springers. Also a good book, my bed is the most comfortable thing on the planet, so I love just grabbing a book and heading upstairs. Mellow music i.e. jazz, classical, etc. Plopping in my big ole bathtub with bubbles. Going for a walk. Going for a mani/pedi with my iPod and NO blackberry.

I definitely agree with the nice music too Lana and ESPECIALLY the BB. LOL I was once all nice and relaxed having a pedi (wonderful shop where you just lay back and get a face mask, mani and pedi, etc.) and the darned BB started ringing and I startled to alertness only to see the expression on my pedicurist face and a long streak of nail polish across my foot. haha. I think she thought I was going to kick her in the face.

Making a nice salad and cooking is how I relax myself. Draw some pictures and read a good book too.
