You know sometimes you feel you can't be arsed doing anything at all. Even thinking is just too great an effort. You just want to chill out and do sweet bugger all. So what helps you 'get there'?
Last night I sat and watched 2 hours of 'MASH 4077'. I didn't have to think of trying to follow a storyline, the jokes were good and often, it was easy on the eye without getting me excited and wanting to do something else. Just absolutely lazy - great!!
What does it for you? A good book? Music? Chocolate? Stroking your cat? (yes, cat not pussy - don't even go there!!)
what helps you just relax totally?

I have a cd of sounds of the Amazon rainforest with a closing storm that drifts over with the water drownding the animal noises and then it drifts away and it all starts up again...pure bliss after a hard shift...

Tomaso Albinoni - Adagio in Gm. It's a piece for organ and strings that simply does not allow you to be conscious of anything other than itself. You can just close your eyes and "be" the music, and nothing matters. Love it.
My escape is walking - something I need to do tonight but the rain hasn't stopped chucking it down here since m., sometimes with lightning and thunder thrown in too. I'm chomping at the bit to get and send the calming seratonins to my brain!!
:cry: :cry:
the 5 b's for me
bath, book, booze, bonk and bed ......
Sort of sums up my most relaxed evenings ......

my escape !!!!!!!!hahahahaha
dont need one any more i have escaped
hooray
Its books for me as well. Can sit there and just creep into the world or life that I am reading about.
When I need to relax I have a nice bath with candles and a glass or two of wine..
No wonder I have a drink prob hic hic hic biggrin :D :D
Usually it's the bottom of the gin bottle that makes me relax,,,, not actually seeing it, more often being cracked round the head with it!!...
or is it knowing the splash back from the toilet didn't touch me arse???? that sigh of relief helps me to relax!!!
Then again seriously, it is probably sitting watching the fish in an aquarium or better still being in some tropical paradise diving with the fish takes you to a different world.. that is what makes me relax!

It's walking for me too. Don't let the rain stop you, Jags. It's not all that different from having a swim or a shower.
If I'm at work and can't go walking, nothing calms my poor little brain down better than a track by Mogwai called "Burn Girl Prom Queen". Beautiful.
TBH I cannot remember the last time I was completely calm and relaxed. sad
easy (heading for an ulcer by the time he's35 :( )
For me it has to be listening to music,pure escapism,bliss

Vodka ... and not that watered down stuff u get over here ... the proprer russian stuff that makes u go temporily blind ....
It's walking for me too!
Preferably in the Lakes or Snowdonia!
I find it both relaxing and exhilarating!
(And knackering too - if it's a particularly long walk)
Another fave walk closer(ish) to home is the walk round Ingleton Falls - just right for an afternoon!
Above all North Wales is the best place for me to help blow the cobwebs away and clear my mind.

GOOD TO SEE YOU AROUND JOHN!! :happy: :happy:
Don't often mind the rain but, when it's sheeting it down I get a bit 'off' - wouldn't get out of my street before being drenched to the skin. Maybe I can get a walk in tonight!

NOW we're talking! We stayed in Ingleton last year and the year before for a long weekend and did the Ingleton Waterfalls as a 'short' walk one Sunday. It was probably the best walk I have ever ever done! Picnic lunch at the halfway point and then everupward. We stayed in one of the cottages right next to the church, with the graveyard as our back garden.
Fab time - and you just brought it back to me.. thanks!
Your Welcome Jags!
And if you are ever around there for the May Day bank holiday - visit Wray Fair (only a few miles west). They have a scarecrow festival - every house has a home made scarecrow - and they are so inventive!
As for Ingleton - the half-way point on a hot day is so welcome (if the little hut selling refreshments hasn't run out of ice cream!) And it's real ice cream - not this squirty stuff!

(who doesn't wear pyjamas! -- that's 'cos I can't get them over me ankle length flanelette nightie! wink )
RELAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!

:eeek: :eeek: :eeek: :eeek: :eeek:
Another pastime I find relaxing is 'people watching'. No, Blue - not dogging! rolleyes
Best time ever was some years ago in the outside bit of the creperie in Covent Garden. Lovely sunny day, glass of wine in hand and nice company.
Sat there for hours just people watching!

Hi Everyone
I'm a long time lurker - First time poster.
Looks like i've picked jus the most ideal thread to make my posting debut. This Is something i can VERY definitely relate to!
Got back from Iraq not so long ago, and have to admit I was ready for a majpr amount of downtime, and de-stressing. My faves and most effectives have got to be music - nothing i find calms a fragile mind like music - Love Play Dead by Bjork and David Arnold, a lot of Andrea Bocelli. Give me a darkened room with mood lighting, a Bose hi fi, and some cushions - pretty soon you'd find me in heaven
Walking also does it for me - long walks in the lake district, and it absolutely has to be in the pouring rain! don't ask why - it's just the way it goes! I suppose i have a rain "thing" going on - because i can even loose myself string and listening to falling rain!
Oh - and i just remembered - the simpsons - I just can't get enough of Homer. I've wasted more than a few weekends watching backk to back episodes!
guess i'm no different to anyone else really lol
kevin
p.s - hope this was of sufficient length for a cherry breaker! lol
There - How's that for an achievement - my first post, and i end applying the kiss of death to my first thread! rolleyes
that moment immediately after you cum!!! surely that is a nice relaxing feeling!!!
Does that qualify though???
the moment the police car passes you by after tailing you for the last ten miles,,,and they don't pull you over... now that is relieving!!!!
Reading childrens books, I just find it really relaxing.
