Relax…Relaxation. I know how. I even took classes directed towards it. I have led an entire class in meditation, very relaxing. The problem is in the execution.
I find it hard to relax when I look around and see so many things that need to be done. Laundry, dishes, vacuum, putting toys 
away, painting the trim – in every room, fixing the shower head, clearing out the garage, fixing the light above the stairs & over my bed I am lucky that sewing can be very relaxing for me. Almost Zen when I am in a groove.
Reading is always a good one. That’s pretty much where I turn when the sewing goes from Zen to Arrrgggghhh!And finally – television. That can go beyond relax to veg. Not necessarily a bad thing, especially now that Chuck, Heroes, How I Met Your Mother, Ugly Betty, CSI (the original) and Bones are back. OK – so the TV wins lots of times. But rarely is it a solo activity.
great carnival post. I usually use the computer to veg out - don't know where the time goes...
ReplyDeleteI totally understand a million things to do and being distracting! You have a great taste in tv :) And I'm going to go look up that book...
ReplyDeleteSad :( Library doesn't have the book - but I found another by the same author so I'm going to check it out :) I love new books and authors!
ReplyDeleteYeah - Libraries around here don't seem to carry much in that genre at all, unless it's one of the biggies (hamilton, rice, etc).
ReplyDeleteOoooh... another Heroes fan :)
ReplyDeleteI love tv! My favorite show is Pushing Daisies!! Quirky and funny!
ReplyDeleteI totally hear ya about the to-do list! Makes it really hard to relax sometimes. Great post!
ReplyDeleteI love TV but I cannot relax unless my hands are busy so I craft while watching and thus make a BIG mess in the TV room that should stay in the craft room. Too bad, Oh Well .....I'm Happy making my mess. The dh frowns :( He's a neat nik:D
