    I like to lie back in my recliner, good book and/or glass of red wine.

    What do you do?

    I like a nice bath with some bath bombs from lush
    the jacuzzi in the gym is good too
    After it a nice cup of tea and some chocolate or nibbles

    find lieing in the sun very relaxing as well with a good book and relaxing music on ipod and some nice coke (cola) and nibbles

    MMMmmm food seesm to be appearing just a little too much in my relaxation scenarios

    Sauna in The Swimming pool for as long as i can handle.

    Got a new recliner recently so it has been in use many times. Just stick on some Pure Moods or have a cup of Lyons and watch something on Discovery Channel (one of the survival shows while I sit in my comfortable, well insulated living room, nice feeling inside. :D).

    improvising on my guitar. i can't relax for the sake of relaxing, i have to distract myself... but when I'm playing the guitar i fall into an almost meditative state...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,698 ✭✭✭InFront


    Go for a run, go to the gym, go for a walk at night-time and find a place to sit. Talk to my dog. All great for instant stress relief.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭Rhyme


    Good book and a comfy chair or a video game (Guitar Hero etc)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,972 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    Boards of course :)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 709 ✭✭✭mac123


    spliff, tea, listen to music, have a beer etc


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,623 ✭✭✭dame


    Stress relief:
    Go for a cycle.
    Go for a walk.
    Have a good long hot shower or sometimes a bath.
    Play with my daughter (Playdoh is excellent stuff for relaxing play).
    Curl up on couch with my other half to watch a good film (or with the cat if he's away).

    the gym, followed by some sauna/steam room action is about as relaxing as life gets.

    other then that walking with the ole ipod works a charm...

    Yea that makes no sense.

    Question: How do you chill out and relax?
    Answer: Yore ma.

    :confused:

    Couldn't you of least made the effort and said

    fúcking/screwing/lamping 'yore ma' out of it.


    Please try harder.

    put the feet up, fill myself a glass of 18 year old Jamesons and catch up on my american dramas (dexter, heroes, lost, CSI... etc)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 984 ✭✭✭cozmik


    When I'm stressed I like to be alone. Listening to music is nice too.

    Smoke some crack with my homies...

    Either that or get stuck into a great game (Mario Galaxy being the perfect example), start watching a new anime series or occasionally fire up my decks and have a quick mix...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,919 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    Listening to music is the big one. Nothing better than sticking on a few chilled out choons.While listening to said music I like to -

    Play some Pro Evo on the Playstation
    Browse the web/boards
    Play some guitar
    Cook

    Play my banjo...Even though I suck, and have no desire to get very good, I just like it!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24,878 ✭✭✭✭arybvtcw0eolkf


    Judo relieves me of alot of my stresses, except when I get injured, then I stress :(

    Other than that, I like to cook, play with the kids & take my dog for a walk/play.

    I love taking a walk on Portmarnock beach, or Howth harbour. Esp on Sundays when the market is open on the harbour and I can sample lots of foods from lots of countries.

    Another great one for me so sitting at the bar, news paper open and a fresh Carlsberg in front of me :D

    Kids films mainly, jungle book, lion king, they need to be short or else the blood goes cold, which just ruins the fun
