I sit on the beach to relax. I live by the beach, and I vacation on another beach. I'm partial to resting in the sun. I ride bicycles and drive convertibles. The open air experience gets me to unstress and become more mentally alert. Both require precise action and sharpen my reflexes. Sun in 10th and Mars in 11th in Capricorn

I withdraw...I just can't relax with people around me and I have to go back into my c0c0on once a day. Max I can stay away fr0m my shell's 3 days.I spend 5-6 hours together listening to music and day dreaming, talking to myself or philosophizing. I used to dance. These days, I do aerobics. It expels excess energy. Walking is an0ther activity that makes me feel relaxed. My stamina's crazy high and I walk straight 3-4 hours. I like to feel close to nature. Beaches, gardens, forest areas, c0untryside, balc0ny and ro0ftops are my fave hangout places. Graveyards and Star gazing t0o bring peace. Hot water bath's fun. I take bath in freezing cold water for m0st part of the year. Hot water's a privilige. I sit in the bathr0om for an hour or two. I indulge in junk fo0d. My heart smiles when I spend on chocolates, co0kies, chips, cakes... I've a bott0mless pit for a st0mach. Once in a while, I buy everything 0n the store shelf, eat, eat and eat till I puke, feel bloated... I got s0me crazy st0mach infecti0n last week because of street fo0d. Relaxati0n's my m0on thing.

Depends on the reason I need to relax, if I am angry or upset either Drawing/sketching or Lots of exercise.
If I just had a long day at work; a over the top bath with candles, music, flower petals etc works.

I love to write. I'm a writer, always enjoy writing and reading poetry and short fiction, plus realistic novels. I like to use my computer to practice writing exercises and communicate with pen pals, and use tumblr to browse photography. Once I get started on doing these things it's quite hard to break my concentration. I also like doing lyrical analysis, and watching good older films and cult classics. 11th house Mercury and Venus

Venus sextile Neptune and Uranus I like to exercise a little bit, burn off some steam. I have a tendency to be a bit restless when I sit around and relax too much; my mind starts going off in a million different directions and I strangely get revved up by it, and just want to kick box or walk or go do something really active. Sitting makes me hyper! Hehe. Mars trine Pluto

i don't think i ever RELAX. i see life as one big competition. its really hard for me to chill out. I tend to sweat the small stuff. even when i read a book i always look up words and google meanings trying to 'learn' which i dont mind really but its hard to read a book and just read it for the story. but if i were to truly relax id run away lol. like get away from EEEVERYONE go somewhere new where nobody knew me and just walk around sight see whatever. but i'd need infinite cash. :Pcap sun and venus/sag mars/scorp moon/libra asc.

Totally depends on my mood. Sometimes it's longboarding (used to be skateboarding), sometimes it's target shooting or archery, sometimes it's surfing, sometimes it's hiking or just finding a quiet place on the beach to watch the waves and clouds (or in the woods to watch the flowers and trees make their own waves in the wind). If the physical activity seems strange then I'd say that when focusing on my activities I can get so focused on what I'm doing (and feel so good in doing it right) that it's a lot like meditation and takes my mind off all my mundane problems for awhile. I like exercising in general, too, I think because of the endorphins, and I also like the sauna/cold shower routine as it's bliss. Growing up in Texas I learned not to fear sweat, though I don't like to walk around sweaty so I do fastidiously shower after I'm done. Other times I go into my room (where my computer is at) and if I shut the door then others know to leave me alone. I just lay on my futon, usually playing some music, though sometimes I catch up on my reading as my mind likes to be stimulated right along with my body. If the door is open then I can be disturbed and I play online (like coming to LL). From time to time I write fics, and I used to enjoy roleplaying (both LARP and "pen and paper") but I had to give up on gaming groups because my Sag energies didn't like being constrained to their fixed schedules (plus I was more interested in a good story that made sense and emphasized roleplaying over combat while many others wanted something different in their games). Sun (and Merc) is Libra on Scorpio cusp, Venus is Libra, Moon & Mars are Sag. IP: Logged |

Organizing. I'm tense while doing it, but after! Aaaaahhhhh, so relaxed. Love to clean and organize then take a well deserved rest for a job well done and admire the clean surfaces. Makes me feel like my sh-- is in order, which is the only thing that makes me feel relaxed.That and sex. Scorpio sun
