Jeanway 0 Posted March 25, 2004 When everything is driving me nuts. I've had it! I'm spent! I'm exhausted! Frustrated and don't know what to do next? If I can sleep, thats a good way to recharge. But usually, I can't. I lay down and close my eyes, even if I can't sleep, 80% of the benefits of sleep can be achieved just by a quiet rest. A change of scenery helps too. Just to get outside, I have a special little cove that I go to and just either walk the beach or sit and enjoy the scenery, the birds, the water and sometimes some little animal will join me, that's really nice. And the sun, just to get the sun on my skin for a while. Or just be quiet. Turn everything off, T.V., which sucks the life out of everyone. The loud music on the radio, has to go. Just be quiet. Or read Proverbs. Very soothing. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Q stole my bike 0 Posted March 25, 2004 I take out my batteries and put in fresh ones! Ok seriously, what QSMB does to relax: -plays with her doggies -reads -talks to you guys -watches Star Trek -stares at pics of Spock -meditate -eat LOTS of junk food -think "What would Spock do?" then raise an eyebrow and say "Fascinating..." And when things get REALLY bad ('cause I occasionally have KILLER axiety attacks) take a xanax (My shrink perscribed it to me :) ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ktrek Posted March 25, 2004 I have a very low stress job for the most part. We have times when there is pressure but mostly we just cruise along so don't need to recharge very often. Thank God! There are several things I like to do that help me relax. 1. Take a hot bath - unusual for a guy but what can I say?? I like it! :) 2. Listen to Classical music.:) 3. Read a good fantasy book :) 4. Pray :) 5. Have a glass of really good wine 6. Have my wife make me tapioca pudding and eat the whole thing by myself! 7. Take a walk by the lake :blink: Ktrek Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr.Picard 12 Posted March 26, 2004 I either watch Star Trek, listen to my "Jean-Luc audio files" on tape or read a book. That's the best way for me to relax. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lubak10 0 Posted March 26, 2004 (edited) I go to the movies or the mall or something with my friends, which actually I don't do that often. Spending a few hours with them talking about everything from Mark Twain's cheese lust (don't ask :) ) to Christianity and God lets me let loose and unwind very quickly.

shadowfigment 0 Posted March 26, 2004 When I need a recharge... I go driving. I don't pick a destination... I just get in the car and drive. And if that doesn't work... I hit the caffeine. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Theunicornhunter 2 Posted March 26, 2004 A few years ago I moved from a larger city back to the small town where I grew up. My whole life changed for the better. Recently, I changed the way I commute- from Interstate to backroads and now everyday I see farm fields and cows rather than bumper to bumper traffic and road construction. The difference in internal tension is amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
