Favorite Stress-Management Activity?

Hello Everyone,


What is your favorite stress management/self-care/relaxation type of activity?


For me, it's going for regular bike rides in the morning, and enjoying being out in the fresh air and sunshine.  I also enjoy to play the piano and engage in arts and crafts projects (i.e., watercolor painting).


What are your favorite thing(s) to do?

Stretching is my fave. It is highly portable and appropriate in nearly any environment.

Guitar runs a close second. It is nearly as portable, but nowhere near as discrete. Government officials sure get touchy when you start opening cases around them. . . Bureaucrats! Go figure!

I like to color. It keeps my hands busy and my mind preoccupied.

Mine is either playing with my dog or visiting my sisters. :)

I like to play with my kids or play video games. I've always found that games in general engage my brain and help me work out my issue or help me get my mind off it.

I love fishing, camping, hiking, boating, skiing, singing and walking as some of my relaxation methods.
