    Things you do to calm down/relax?

    I was thinking about this tonight: What do some of you guys do to wind down after a long day or just to relax. For a few months now, I've just either turned to my music or watching/listening to something comedic to get relaxed. I also looked into meditation and it looks interesting, but doesn't seem like something I could do or handle (I can't clear my mind easily).

    So, do you guys have anything you do to relax?

    Re: Things you do to calm down/relax?

    Sometimes I'll just go out and sit down outside somewhere and just do nothing, like during the summer, I'll go down to the beach for awhile and just watch the ocean, stuff like that.

    But, for the most part, I just listen to music or play games (sometimes backfires though, if I get too into the game, haha).

    I've always been interested in doing yoga though, seems like a great thing to do to relax. My only problem is my back, since I have bad scoliosis my back would hurt even more after a yoga session. I might try it after I have surgery this summer, see if I can get some flexibility back afterwards.

      I haven't really found one specific thing that helps me calm down, and thats not a good thing because I have a very bad temper...

              Read a book, take a nap, watch some sports.

                • Meditate
                • Listen to classical music and let it envelop you. Joseph Haydn is great.
                • Running, or another physically taxing activity
                • Realizing that whatever it is your/I'm stressing over isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of the Universe.

                  Listen to music. Either something soft, and calming, or something like Eminem - yes, I'm serious.

                  Or play a video game.

                              Co-sign... That is, if the wife is asleep... If she's awake, then I try to blow her back out. If those don't work, a nice pint of Ben & Jerry's Vanilla Caramel Fudge or Mint Chocolate Cookie never fails to do the trick.
