What's your favorite stress-reliever?

[pinkeggs]

Treadmill, listening to music, meditation.

Baking. It's precise and forces me to pay attention instead of focusing on all of the swirling thoughts.

Exercise, always exercise. I hate getting started but always feel better at the end. Plus, training for something keeps me motivated.

Yoga, long walk at sunset with the pup, a glass of wine with girlfriends, xanax. :-)

Swimming!

I also love to take a warm bath with Epsom salt. Really, I love being in water.

I like meditation, but I always find an excuse not to do it.

booze, orgasms, and trashy magazines.

I'll just show myself out now.

Can you give more details? A friend recommended Tara Brach, but I am interested in learning more about how to get started. Thanks for anything you care to share.

PS - where did this board come from? I just noticed it.

I just started coloring. Yup, coloring. Picked up a couple of adult coloring books on amazon. It's a form of active meditation.

Also, I run and box.

Oh! Hot baths. I don't get them as much as I'd like but never under estimate the power of a nice, relaxing bath.

[midnightrae]

Painting, video games, music, reading, and baking. I still have a very hard time relaxing.

I'm not whom you asked, but I have had good luck with podcasts.  I only just recently started, but I like Oasis Meditation and Zenworlds beat so far.  I typically listen to one when falling asleep (I like the Oasis Deep Rest fort that), one on the morning (usually focusing on energy or healing), and sometimes one during the day that again focuses on healing.
