Hello,
What kind of things help to relax you ? I'm sipping on a cup of Jasmine tea right now which has a wonderful calming effect, even if it does contain caffiene !
Liyng on the beach listening to the waves is incredibly peaceful too !
From a calm and peaceful,
Janejj

A nice uninterupted bubble bath, tanning out in the summertime sun whether in my back yard or on the beach, and pushing my kids on the swing listening to the giggle.
Sucking on a chocolate hershey 'nugget' is pretty nice too - but I wouldn't say it's relaxing hahaha.

- having my little girl cat snuggle on my chest
- waking up in the morning & watching the trees sway in the breeze from my bedroom window
- listening to the rain on the leaves at night
- watching the multicoloured songbirds crowding about my feeders
- yanking up weeds by the roots & all! (feels so good)
- dancing when no one's about
- singing when no one's about
- lying on my back in the grass watching clouds scuttling by
- holding & snuggling one friend's baby; she's such a sweet, mellow baby
- watching English comedies (Monty Python & Red Dwarf style) & laughing my head off
- lying in bed, stretching all over slowly & thoroughly

A massage. Sometimes just thinking about a massage. Having my back scratched. Listening to the waves at the ocean and the birds outside. A hot bath. The swamp oak at the park. Picking berries (yes, still). Drinking decaf coffee on my back porch. Lying in the sun when it's not too hot.
Number one: snuggling with my daughter. It is hard to want to do anything else but snuggle. It feels so good with a soft child.
And it's funny; relaxation is often quite energizing for me. Once I realize how good it is to relax and how I CAN relax, I get excited to go do something!
