Question of the Day - Monday, June 10, 2024

[MoochNNoodles]

Greetings from a sleepy but sleepless Monday morning from my neck of the woods. I set my grocery pickup later than usual because I was supposed to have time to catch up on a little sleep. Ha. I’ve been up since 6 when I’m normally dragging myself out of bed at 9. So I decided to run errands early. And thankfully I had a breakfast sandwich reward at Dunkin; so now I’ve had a nice breakfast. Maybe I can nap later.


Whats your favorite way to relax?


I prefer to curl up with a good book and a cat. Or in bed with a book because thats often the only place I get quiet/alone time. I’m glad my kids are around so much; but sometimes my introvert self needs a wall between us to get my social battery recharging.

A cup of coffee and a cat in the morning. Late afternoon a cat and looking through cookbooks. Also I find working outside in the garden restorative and also helps me sleep at night.

Reading, doing crossword puzzles, working in the gardens, or just building something- they all work for me.

Wanna come help me catch up with weeding? It is a good way to find a mental reset!

Coffee is involved in anything I do especially relaxing. Nothing like a nice warm cup of joe to keep me grounded. The way I like to relax in summer is different than winter. Summer - sit outdoors w/coffee and meet friends. Winter - sit indoors w/coffee at a cozy coffee shop or at home watching a favorite movie or tv show with Carleton in my lap.

Flopping on the couch with brown sugar boba (finally learned how to make it) and a good movie.

It really is wonderful for a mental reset! It is also a ton of work.Did a ton recently and of course I have more now

[Winchester]

In bed, under the electric blanket (the AC is cold!) with Mollipop in my left arm and a good book in my right hand. (Sometimes Rick can even hear me snoring out in the living room!) I will often go to bed around 8:00 at night, turn the tv on and surf around on my iPad or read my Kindle.

Mornings it's with my coffee watching the birds and squirrels(and the cats enjoying them as well).After dinner when all is said and done for the day,checking out what's on tv or getting online.

 

[KittyFriday]

This is kind of niche, but my favorite relaxing activity is walking outside, specifically with my dog while snow is softly falling. I wish it snowed here more.

Otherwise, just sitting outside in general. Alternatively, sitting with a comfort show and knitting/doing a puzzle, or playing computer games from my childhood that are comforting because they bring back good memories.

If I have energy, I like to detail my car while listening to Sirius radio .
If no energy, then lying on the couch watching a movie.

It never ends! *sobs* I find it frustrating - as much as I like the garden, I look and say: "Oh, you again! I thought I rid myself of you already!"

For me it's walks, long bubble baths with a book, meditation - and at the opposite end of the spectrum here - violent video games. It really can reduce stress and frustration, even though I'm absolutely terrible at it. If I need an outlet for pure frustration I choose the latter.

Kitties, walking/hiking, a nice beverage, sitting on the porch, travelling, reading, snuggling with BF, gardening and dancing.

No weeding never ends. I also don't know how I forgot walking that is probably the best reset.

 

[margecat]

Making something with my hands, especially jewelry.

Cappuccino at Tim Hortons in the big comfy armchairs.

 

[MonaLyssa33]

Doing crossword puzzles, watching YouTube, crocheting, or doing some other craft.

I'm a pretty dedicated yogi, so meditation would be my go-to thing.
Garden 'pottering' (just little things.. trimming, light weeding, making a bouquet) is a great grounding practice, to get away from the nagging thoughts.
