I was recently told by my doctor that I need to relax more. I thought I was relaxed but obviously not.   

I'm very curious...what do you do to relax?

Knit, listen to classical music, have a glass of wine--not necessarily in that order, LOL!!

I like to read or watch selected shows I've recorded. If the weather allows, I really enjoy sitting outside on our covered patio to read

I take a walk around the block, read a magazine or a book, listen to my favorite music, watch a tv program, or make myself a cup of tea.

Good luck, you got this! You will be fine!

@kaydee50  Wow, the wine part sounds really good to me.

Meditate, music, reading, flower gardening.

@Regal Bee  I think most of us need to relax more. In warm weather I go out on our patio, put my feet up and watch the birds in their daily routines (there's always a drama). In the winter I cook and bake while listening to my favorite music. Maybe relaxation is just what makes me happy.

Long ago, before the birth of my second, I took Lyengar yoga.  A bit later I found an instructor who had us do restorative once a month too.

It was only after a few years that I finally felt my back relax.  It was an eye opening event.  Would never give it up.
