Relaxation

[Joshua Farrell]

Everyone has different ways to relax, be it napping, reading a book, watching a entertaining movie, exercise or whatever else.
What do you do to help you relax, after a day that has gotten to you?

With me, I tend to go on a walk, or just go to a place where I can enjoy nature. If I cannot do that, I watch things that are entertaining in one way or form, like watching comedy, or watching amovie that talks about things that wouldn't be stressful to watch.

When I am stressed, I love going out with my doggy to the river and watch her swimming in circles trying to catch the water splashes lol. It’s so cute to watch and takes away my stressful thoughts!

I’m ashamed to admit it but I drink to relax

Before I moved to where I live, I used to have a friend that drank on weekends to relax. In his case, he drank to relax, because he felt he needed to drink as a way to get away from his work. It was to be the care taker of his father that could no longer do things on his own, while the spouse (my friends mother) went out to work.

I understand, my father drinks to get away from the stresses of work, and has done for the last 25 years (he’s a social worker), and it’s turned into a semi alcoholic. And I’m going down the same path it seems, exept I do it to get away from anxiety.
