How do you like to relax?

[Jmosies]

Sometimes I'll put on some Native American flute music (R. Carlos Nakai)...at night I like to read myself to sleep. Herbal tea can be soothing too, actually I have a bunch of them, but sleepytime and chamomile are always nice.

[Skilero]

I find the nearest MP3 with my choice music on it and zone out.

[Infinita]

Music and belly breathing are the few things I do to relax or start to loosen up anyways. I find a good glass of rum helps right before bed. :3

[Kyubi-no-kitsune]

i meditate while listening to either classic japanese taiko music or listening to the harbor noises outside my house

[Lily Rock]

Playing Starcraft, pretty much relaxing.

[Videlreyes]

Listening to music or taking a hot shower or bath =)

[MirrorToTheMoon]

Listening to music, draw a picture, or play on my keyboard. Lying in the garden with the dog works well too.

[Rei]

By sleeping (though that's a form of escapism, you still have to face your problems when you wake up), playing games, listening to music and eating stuff I like.

[Meenah]

Taking a warm shower, getting into my comfy clothes, lay down, listen to music and cuddle to my stuffed animals. :3

[Megamind's Minion]

sleeping or sitting by the beach or sitting on a tree or lying one there....

[Senjou_Akira]

sleep
but if i just want something to calm me, i listen to music, write, draw or play the instruments at home ^^

[Shinn Kamiyra]

Sitting in my oh so comfy chair, curled up with a good manga and listening to some of my fav music.

Though if I'm too restless to just be sitting around, I'll usually get in some voice acting or have a sparring match with my bro. Being the fighting maniac I am, I find such things very relaxing. ^^

[Mattey]

Some rock music while resting in my bed xdd or just bring a laptop to the bed and watch anime :P

[ApocalypsePlease]

Cello music and Coffee. It always helps me sleep~<3

[Uta-chan~]

Run in circles around the nearest person. XD

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

Just listening to music, I guess.

[ExitNine]

Just listening to music, I guess.

Taking a shower is pretty good.

My thing is smoking though. Nothing in particular, the act itself I just find soothing.

[Asriel]

Taking a soothing shower or finding my choice of music~

[Elukien]

By taking cat naps, or listening to Jazz and blues or watching anime.

[Gjallarhorn]

Screw around on my guitar, or sleep.

[Aleyna]

curl up with my blanket and watch a good movie or playing animal crossing or harvest moon on the wii.

[Elphaba]

Listen to music and dance and sing along

read

write a story maybe from a book I read

daydream

[Light Buster]

I would chill via gaming my butt off but I have other ways like sleeping.

[Anuket]

How do I relax? Easy.

Lie in bed with Latin music playing. <3 Total serenity.

[chachaboru]

sleeping or listening to anything...

[YuriEcchiGirl]

Reading in a very quiet room works wonders for me relaxation-wise ^^

[yakman1692]

Laying back and playing a fun game, or just sleeping

[battousai_ryuu]

Sitting on the pier at low tide watching the ships pass by, the fish breech the waters glass like surface and occasionally listening to the woman at the other end play the flute into the sunset.

[Kanjoudakai_Ira]

Music, all the way. At the end of the day, when I'm exhausted and not in the mood of anything, I put my favourite songs on and just drift away into reverie.
Also, reading and drawing helps as well, but that requires attention and effort, aka energy that I usually lack at the end of the day. Otherwise, they're good relaxing methods.

[DerryBerryTime]

Yoga is probably my favorite thing to relax with. Listening to some good music and reading a nice book will do the job as well.

[NorthOfTime]

Hum hard question.
If im in my room and its been a crappy day, a nap is always the most relaxing. Ill turn on the heater thingy apparatus in my room turn my fan on to high put it on oscillating mode and just relax into sleepy wonder land.

If its been a good day, im in an upbeat mood, and its crappy outside; I will prolly come home clean up a bit listening to some good House, Techno, or (preferably) Hardstyle [Jump or Shuffle]. Once the room is clean ill really relax and start busting out some good jumps or put on some sox and shuffle to infinity. Of course no one can see me doing this, as it would ruin the relaxation affect lol. When ive built up a good sweat and have tired myself out ill turn on the PS3 and start slaughtering Helghast.

If its just to relax, it has to be the perfect day actually. But idealy the best way for me to relax is with a cold Heffeweisen (German beer that is amazing) a nice grassy hill right in the open view of the sunny, clear blue sky. A light wind, a lake, some nature and a camera finish off the scene. A good woman helps with this. Hopefully she will have made me sammiches to go with the great relaxation time. Lol jk. Sammiches would be nice though.

[Furore]

Lazing on a decent chair outside smoking a decent Cuban with a little table next to me holding an ash tray, a drink (generally rum, bourbon or a nice imported beer) as well as a little music player that can be hooked to my MP3 player. Sometimes but not always I'll be charting with mates lazing around in the same place or playing a portable videogame or reading a decent graphic novel (because television and/or too much blunt force trauma to the head has killed my imagination).

[Penshiru]

Laying down on my bed thinking about things
Or reading with music on.
Both of these is really relaxing to me

[Meteorkeeper]

I listen to my favorite song list while taking a nice hot bath and just mellow out, nothings better than that.

[Hypatia]

I like to stand on the balcony and sing or sleep.

[~*Red*~]

I like to listen to music and write stories :)

[YuriEcchiGirl]

Spending every single one of my days off work each week staying over at my fiance Stephen's house ^^

[truegamenerd]

I enjoy just sitting down, lights off. Sometype type of ambient music that I could just loose myself in.

[TheyCallMeFei]

I usually go for a run. That clears my head.

[::SomeOtherCookiez::]

..By listening to music while on my laptop or drawing.

[Souhi]

If for some reason I can't fall asleep, a nice dose of mellow music (I have dozens of playlists devoted to this) usually does it. If it's cold out, a nice cup of ginseng tea is wonderful for the nerves too.

[YuriEcchiGirl]

Watching neverending series of anime, always & only ever on DVD, in the comfort of my living room or my bedroom ^^

[under the rain]

Walk outside when its raining. Maybe listen to some nice music. I have a playlist on my iPod specifically so that I can relax.

[YuriEcchiGirl]

Texting my fiance everyday that I'm not actually with him in person ^^

[OtakuInu!!!]

I listen to music. BIGBANG's songs relax me. XD

And sleep! :D

[YuriEcchiGirl]

Listening to various different anime opening themes ^^

[Lord]

WOW! People do Yoga and shiet? You actually feel relaxed while you're reading? Doesn't the quietness rip your mind apart? Literally drag your nerves out of your body and then scratch them until you beg yourself to stop reading?

Usually when I try to relax I listen to some music or take a nap. Actually passing the Dutch works fine to :).

[YuriEcchiGirl]

Watching my favourite TV channel (Challenge) everyday at some point ^^

[The Wing Man]

Watch movies, read comics and play games.

[YuriEcchiGirl]

Keeping up to date with the latest news & weather reports/forecasts on TV ^^

[Teru Murasame]

I play guitar

[Kappei Yamaguchi]

With a nice hot cup of tea, in a nice bath, getting a massage from a beautiful girl, too bad I don't have any of those.:)

[Sir Dutchman]

I relax in a couple of different ways. Though playing videogames is what I use most for it. I also love to watch speedruns, superplays and tool-assisted speedruns/superplays. Some other ways:

- Walking with my dogs is relaxing at times.
- Just lying down (mostly in bed, and often fantasizing up some nice, but usually unrealistic story with me in the main role... but sometimes it's just an idea for an original story, or a story in which I think of ways to develop an idea I have).
- Sitting alone on the sofa with some hot drink I made myself.

[Nesh]

taking a nap

[Jjo]

Usually with something warm to drink, and browsing the net for new music or watching performances^^

[Skylar1]

Drawing, would be the most effective.

reading and studying can be pretty unwinding for me sometimes too.

And listening to hardcore techno.

[Cantelope]

I sit in the armchair in front of the fireplace with a warm cup of coffee, and only the sound of my favorite music playing off of the stereo system. Recently Erik Satie has been my popular choice.

[YuriEcchiGirl]

A nice hot cup of tea also never fails to relax me, no matter how many of them I have, lol! ^^

[Kappei Yamaguchi]

By drinking alot of alcohol and passing out, kidding:D

[-GAZKUL-]

by writing, listening to music or watching movies.

[battousai_ryuu]

Getting lost on some remote path in the woods on my bicycle.

[YuriEcchiGirl]

By sketching some random doodles & images ^^

[Diocletian]

Some indica can relax anyone.

Either that or draw a logo, whichever one takes more effort (without a grinder :()

[Scruffy]

Generally, I relax by just laying down and listening to trance/electronic music.

[YuriEcchiGirl]

By texting & chatting no end on my mobile, lol! ^^

[dream magician]

Playing some music- classic, RNB, sentimental ones- on my playlist while reading a book. At hot days, i usually sleep away.

[snappy_harsh]

simply by reading.. buying stuff like books and bullying my sister, yeah that's relaxing!

[Anuket]

For the time being the only thing that relaxes me is reading a book or daydreaming, the latter one's more effective though.

[snappy_harsh]

reading books is surely sooo relaxing.. :D.. Listening to soft music as well..

[DOOM!]

Relax, eh? I usually take some downers like ketamine, LSD or just plain Maria, or sex, or both sex AND drugs, with a cigarette in between.

[Kappei Yamaguchi]

I relax by listening to anime music.

[Anuket]

A glass of Absinthe and Dita Von Teese dancing in front of me would be relaxing, not to mention soothing.

[Acnologia]

I sleep. It's great :3

[Kappei Yamaguchi]

By beating the crap out of jerks I don't like!

[Teru Murasame]

By beating the crap out of jerks I don't like!

Ditto! XD

[Uncanny X-Man]

Reading a good book/comic
Watching cartoons
Just laying in bed at night and listening to silence.

[animegirl2365]

I Like to relax by laying in my bed and taking a long well needed nap (which is like every day lol)

[Nene-Chan]

By sitting in a chair and surfing on the web ^W^

[╬Karami Mew~Meow]

Listening to music, taking cat naps, watching anime, or read a manga, and sewing [or anything pertaining to creating props or costumes, as long as it's not rushed lol]

[YuriEcchiGirl]

Sitting outside in my back garden on a warm & sunny spring/summer day reading manga ^^

[I A]

I always like to sit in my hot tub playing music box versions of vocaloid songs.

[Token Black Guy]

Drawing, reading a book/comic/manga, playing some video games, watching a good movie/tv show/anime, etc.

[Aulos]

My idea of relaxation is laying down on my bed and watching TV or playing Animal Crossing on my DS.

[I A]

For calming down, rather than relaxing...
I usually clam down by curling up in my bed and talk to myself.
It's the only way I know how to calm down, really...

[kimupapa]

Drawing, sleeping, cuddling with fluffy pet dogs, sleeping and sleeping. Yeah that's the story of my life

[Trippy Hippie]

Take a hot shower, and climb into bed for a nap. Or lay out in the sun.

[Navigator]

The way I relax is to just turn on some music in my room,
lay down on my bed in the dark, and just drown everything out.
And if it's the summer time, I like to go lay outside and fall asleep! :D

[tesaamari]

sleep sleep sleep

[Velvet_Nightmare]

Iced coffee and a book.

Curling up on my couch and sleeping...

http://www.murraymitchell.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/dog_sleeping_on_leather_couch.jpg

[Tragic~Romance]

Writing or brainstorming for my writing are what I usually do. If not that, I work on my artwork often, or play games and read books for inspiration.
I have a hyperactively creative mind... so this is really all I can do to have some semblance of relaxation, or else my head would explode into a pillar of flames and fireworks e_e

[T-Stew]

By a roaring hot fire with my feet up sipping a nice wine or one of my favorite beers...

http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac235/kc2ebm/misc/beers/ec1af346-f8da-42bb-bf7a-84efcfca98b2_zpsa7ff5a9b.jpg
