Re: What are some things that help you to relax?

All of the above. Everyone's suggestions have been spot on. I'm not a real professional meditator, but simply closing my eyes, breathing deep and listening to the sound of my breath can work wonders. I also love to cook and getting involved in a complex recipe can help to make me forget about everything else around me for an hour or so, and it gives me a feeling of pride and accomplishment as well.

Animal companions. {#emotions_dlg.wub}

Definitely agree!

I love going trail riding, especially early in the morning in the summer. It's cool and peaceful in the woods. When we get back we watch the horses graze while we have coffee on the porch. Smile

I've been horse-passionate since I was a little girl; their eyes are so soulful!

Love trail riding as well, plus I'm a born nature lover. Especially forests and woods. 8)

I'm a water sign (Pisces), so oceans/rivers/brooks too.

feline groovy, we cross some streams and creeks on our rides, but I've never ridden in the ocean. Hope to do that soon.

-Kalli

I hope you get to enjoy that thrill, Kalli.

My pets, being around water (especially the ocean), reading, and a good cup of tea. Woops...I forgot DH. He really is my best friend.
