Imagine a rubber band twisted and pulled to its limit...that is how I often feel. I work 70hrs per week and don't get to relax much. But, what does help me relax and get my mind on other things other than getting dumped by wife, is...

ripping out paper from a notebook and balling up paper to make basketballs that I can shoot into the trash can...

How do you relax and get your mind off the crap?

I listen to music and write stories.

My daughter in law plays that with my grandchildren and calls it making snowballs. She is so cool.
I hold my grandson and read him a story or just play with him. When I am spending time with him nothing else matters. It is relaxing for me. Also music and reading.

Cooking and petting my cats works for me.

Work was my relaxing place when I was fresh into the separation.

It had its own stresses at times, but I could get lost in my work and that covered a great part of the day for three weeks at a time.

guided meditation... works wonders :)

Meditation, writing, listening to music and dancing. I love all of that. Sometimes just sitting with my dog and a good book. It is really important for someone that works so many hours to find some quiet time. Take care of yourself. Hugs, Kimmee

Listening to music, working out, making jams, reading pretty much are my relaxation method these days. Sometimes I have a living room camp out with my son. It's been a while since I done it and I thinking of doing it tonight. O.o Thanks Rman

I can sit and stare into nothing for hours at a time. I guess it's meditation, but seems more like inertia...either that, or I'm secretly a cat.

I do the same as you with the paper and waste basket. I like to clown around. I doodle. I do DS. I talk to friends and lately, I have been going on long walks and think about all the good things that are in my life because concentrating on the pain.....does not allow me to move forward and onward....
