Comments
C. with a good book.
I'd love to say with a nap but my little girl has a built-in nap alarm that goes off when my eyes close.
A. I totally love my 'me time'
A spa day is my favorite way to relax.
Reality is with a good book. When I can splurge, any spa treatment.
B or D but would love to try A. will they wake me if I start snoring during the facial?
F. I like to knit, although as a new knitter I sometimes find it to be stressful in itself!
B. Glass of wine
First chocolate, then wine, then read a good book until I fall asleep...and then realize I was only dreaming about having time to do all of this!
E. Relax? Who has time for that?
B. A glass of wine, chocolate
E. Relax, Who has time for that
F. Other A nice long walk around Lake Lynn always relaxes me. Sometimes I go around twice depending on how stressed I am!
D. A nap
C. A good book, God bless the library system! Thousands of choices and they are all free! You can even get audio books so that while you're waiting in carpool or driving from activity to activity you can enjoy!
I usually find that playing a few games of Spider Solitaire or Free Cell not only relaxes me but challenges my mind. I also love to read and watch a good old movie on the telly.
I don't get time to relax - with a full time job...a husband, 1 pre-teen and 4 teenagers - there is never down time. I'm 37 years old and my docs say i really need to slow down and take care of me...but I don't know how to do that. I take care of others...that's what I do...that's what mom's do. I have already had a heart attack at the age of 32 and triple by-pass open-heart surgery at the age of 36 and I still haven't figured out how to RELAX and have a "ME" moment. :(
C. Relaxing with a good book, although this comes far and few between the business of life. I have to say, however, the spa treatment seems like a great way to relax also. I've never had such a treat!
A. Mani, pedi, other spa treatment - Love a spa treatment :-)
F. I play with my new soft puppy, "Moxie". Nothing like the joy of a new puppy!
though I could have anwered all of a.b.c.d.e. --at some time.
A nap....during a facial!
mwagner, you have been through a lot! I hope you figure out a way to relax, so you can be here to enjoy your children and grandchildren for years to come.
Four kids under age 7....not too much time for relaxing!! I do love to read...in the sun, by the pool....better yet a nice calm beach...on an island...ahhhh
A normal day would be to lay down on the couch and watch my favorite tv show. But, on those special days (which are rare), I love a pedicure or massage!
I generally do not relax, as it's not in my nature. But I have found that a glass of wine helps settle me. Spa treatments are also relaxing, when I have time.
E. Relax? Who has time for that
A long day on the couch in front of mindless t.v. is total relaxation for me
B! Chocolate anytime please!
I actually relax by exercising. The exercising itself isn't always relaxing but the effects afterwards are!
A. pedicure at my favorite spa
A. Mani, pedi, other spa treatment
I have only had a couple spa treatments but I loved every minute of them. It is so nice to go and just relax without the kids or husband calling my name and asking 1000 questions. I feel so refreshed afterwards.
A. Mani, pedi, other spa treatment whenever possible.
E and F In addition to being a wife of 2 children ages 5 and 7, and a wife I am a full-time employee and part-time student. At times I think I go back to work to relax, other times I wonder what it would actually feel like to have any time to relax. A spa treatment sure would enable me to find out.
Hard to relax these days with all that's going on..... my choice would be any of the above, given the day and the amount of stress!!
I retreat to the bedroom for my book and a glass of wine.
nap, nap, nap. I sleep when the baby sleeps
A glass of wine and a good book !
E. Relax? Who has time for that?
It is impossible to relax with 2.5 weeks left until my baby arrives!
Do I have to pick just one?
Most days, it's a good book, but there are some times when only a mani/pedi will do.
manicure, pedicure, spa treatment
Usually reading or a glass of wine, but I wish I were able to do spa treatments more often!
I could relax by A,B,C or D. Or better yet, A,B,C at the same time, followed by a nice long D. Of course, all of these require time alone which is really my most coveted luxury...if I have that, i can make almost anything relaxing!
C. A good book is good for me!
C. Reading a good book.
I'm going to go with either B or E. Usually, there is no time for relaxing! But every once in a while, I will have a glass of wine after the kids go to bed and let the housework go until the next day.
Ahhhhh.....
F & C: I do 30 minutes of my PT exercises, drink a huge glass of waterthen settle into my comfy recliner and read for about 20-30 minutes.Ah-h-h-h!
C: a good, good book.
but a good, good book is even better with a glass of wine, which is even better before a nap
...so can we get an "all of the above" option?
Definitely E! With two jobs, college and 3 kids - there's NO time. It would be nice to win the facial...then at least my face would like nice after I pull out all my hair.
I love a walk on the beach when I can get there. If not exercise, a good book, some wine, a good movie , a pedicure are all wonderful when I can find the time.
B - without a doubt!
F. I say all above. Everyone should find a time for themself even if it's only 15 minutes a day. I am lucky if I can get 45 minutes a day for myself.
