Re: Please share what helps you relax :)

I sleep better when I have a good rigorous walk each day.  It seems to deplete me of pent up stress.  I also enjoy a warm cup of herbal tea or a hot/warm shower.

Since I quit drinking 20 years ago, nothing.  There is something to be said for a modest glass of wine or a little ******.  The problem comes when you just keep going.


Good for you, @depglass.  

 

A good book, maybe some golden oldies playing...

Thanks to all the ladies that recommended Calm and Headspace. I've been trying out Calm for the past week for sleeping because I have a hard time falling asleep and then also getting good, deep, restful sleep and this is working GREAT for that. I am actually really amazed how well it works. I haven't tried headspace yet but just started my free trial and will check it out today.

I have some best friends who are now a retired couple. She tells me all the time "I married him for life, but not for everyday lunch!"  She also craves time alone.....
