What do you do that you'd consider therapeutic?

confuseddotcom

I don't know if this is an appropriate place for this, apologies if not, I need a kind-of Miscellaneous-y Forum. I might ask can we get a Miscellaneous-esque Forum.

Anyways I spent a rather pleasant half hour or so this evening cleaning my ice-box! Have been putting it off for a while but everything in there is going soft and not freezing at all! Anyways I found it quite enjoyable and therapeutic to be thawing it out sitting there with my hair-dryer. Another thing I like doing that I find therapeutic is ironing.

How about you?

Cooking and training.

Both require a little motivation to get started at times but both are very satisfying when finished.

I like mild pains. Piercings and that kind pain is real therapeutic.

No. None ,no drugs I am a non drinker too.

I love when my hair is brushed. I have very long hair, halfway down my back and I love the feeling of someone else brushing it or playing with it.

It gets me excited and relaxed at the same time

Music.
A good walk.

Yeah, (sounded better before I wrote it!) in fairness on re-reading, that could have gone disastrously but I couldn't be ar$ed re-wording it. I could be a mister.

I love this too.

I make bread. All the mechanics of kneading and proving and baking are really satisfying. A very peaceful and pleasing pastime.

Its Behind You!

Talking with sensible people who have a social conscience. it gives me hope.

Another one- being anywhere near or preferably on the sea. Calms me right down

Sailing or taking the gluaisrothar for a run. Nothing like a nice walk in the winter air.

Reading.

Walking in the pouring rain at night all cosied up in a big coat.
Listening to the pouring rain while snug in bed.
(as you can see, I like the rain :P )

Also, as others have mentioned, listening to music is probably my number one.

Genuine answer, hot towel shaves.

Stick on the kettle, apply pre-shave cream, heat the mug, soak the brush. Make tea if desired.
Pour boiled water on the towel and wring out the excess, then apply towel to face and neck.
Remove towel, whip up a decent soapy lather in my hot mug, brush lather onto face, massage in, brush again.
First pass, rinse face with warm water, apply more soap, second pass. Drink tea. Third pass is optional.
Rinse with very cold water, apply alum block, embrace the pain, dry off, apply after-shave balm.
Finish cold tea. :P

Sometimes takes up to 30 minutes, but is always worth it.

Where To

I love going for a nice long walk, because that means I'm on holiday somewhere, I never get to go anywhere unless I drive there at home.

itsgrandlike

I absolutely love to sit down and watch premiership football with about ten cups of tea.. It relaxes me so much..

Also love when someone plays with my hair, straightens and just messes with it.

Another one is to make a big cup of tea, open some choc and read after hours!!

Geo10

Tea and chocolate go together so well! I like, for some reason, for what I'm drinking to reflect what I'm doing.
For example, if I'm watching Friends (best sitcom ever) I'll drink coffee but if I'm watching an Irish/ British sitcom I like to drink tea! :P Or if I'm listening to Britney I'll drink Pepsi :P

justaskin likeyakno

Swim, steam room, watching all the stored programmes from planner, steaming tay(tea), a really deep massage after exercising.

Getting my neck cracked at the physio.

rain on

Knitting/crocheting, being beside the sea, going sparring with my pals and battering the unholy ****e out of each other

Rasheed

My dog just calms me straight away.

Brushing him, playing with him outside, even telling him my troubles.

Love him so much, he's the best therapy I've ever come across!

KT10

Fixing something mechanical, especially when hungover, it distracts me from how bad I feel, caused by both my alcohol intake and my latest poor life choice.
