how do you relax?

When I had open heart surgery, my surgeon told me to breathe in through my nose deeply and blow out slowly through my pursed lips about 6 times or until I was relaxed. I try to do that with my eyes shut.
A few glasses of wine seem to help that along really, really well, too. :o)
If that doesn't work, a really great book to take your mind off the troubles of the day.
Forget all of the above---if you have the love of your life with you and you lie in each others arms and let the troubles slip away!

First I take a deep breath and stretch...if you are deep breathing, you are not able to hyper ventilate, so that's a good place to start. I have a few things I do, depending on the situation (and where I am at the time) Sometimes, just visualizing a calm setting will work, other times, I need to get away from everything and everybody and focus on relaxing. I also remind myself of the importance of relaxing as opposed to getting all stressed out, which I never enjoy.

A drive along a country road with the radio blaring my favorite music.

Beer and muscle relaxers get me feeling good. All my cares just disappear.

I take off my bra and shoes in that order
drink a big hot mug of blueberry tea (w/cream and sugar)
cover myself with a warm and fuzzy blanket
and just drift off.
