How do you UNWIND?

[retrorussell]

Hey folks!

What do you do to get yourself in that happy, content place after work or just to relax?  A program to watch?  A beverage/food on hand?  Musical accompaniment? 

List as many ways as you like.

Me personally.. I like to just plop down in my easy chair with a glass of iced Coke, and fart around on the internet.  Answer emails, post topics on various sites, make YouTube videos, play old video games, etc.  Or go take a power nap on the couch or bed.  Or real late at night, maybe jump into the hot tub with the lights and jets on and drink a PBR or something (a rare time for me drink).  When the virus restrictions get lifted, I'll go back and do karaoke.

What ways do you like to unwind and be in your happy space?

I turned the back section of my room into an unwind zone, separated with a tall open shelf. There's my PC, a comfy chair, my multi-colored wellness mood light and an aroma diffuser. It is kinda trippy but pretty cool.

At my old job I used to ritualistic order a pizza on Friday after work, just to celebrate the weekend. Haven't done that in years since I'm working shifts now.
A warm bubble bath in winter is another fave to unwind.

After a working day I work out--swimming if it's warm enough--then I try not to do any work afterwards. Eat dinner, read the news. In the evenings I watch a movie or a TV show before bed and have a drink most nights.

On Fridays after the workout I do my grocery shopping for the week, pick up some fast food, and watch an MST3K episode before bed.

Spend a day on the river or lake, looking for fossils and arrowheads, preferably with a friend or two.

I like to sit back and read a book while listening to music and maybe drinking a beer. I don't browse the internet if I want to relax as I tend to go to political/scientific debate forums.

Read. Listen to music. Watch an old movie. Smoke weed. Cook-out. Build model kits.

Play with the dog. Mow the lawn. Sit in the yard and listen to the radio and drink whiskey. Jerk off.  Order pizza. Pick dirt out of my naval.

I don't bother anymore.

It's too much work.

You must be wound like an alarm clock.

No, it all just got too frustrating & usually blew up in my face, so now I'm just a lazy @$$ bum...

Physically: Invest half an hour hitting tennis balls against the side of my house.
Mentally: I read a dictionary.
Spiritually: I go alone into the woods and feel the energy.

But I can achieve all three by being with my family.

Mentally: I read a dictionary.

You don't understand words or what? 
Oh, welcome back ER!

I mainly listen to music. I'll listen to Bob Ross if my anxiety is high.
