Hello Steemians!
We all have different ways to relax, unwind and release the tension on the old springs. I've heard a growing trend amongst humans is Floatation Therapy also known as Restricted Environmental Stimulus Therapy (R.E.S.T).
I once had a friend who went to Jordan on a Dead Sea spa break, he rusted right up. I prefer to play things safe, when I want to relieve the stresses of gravity on my joints, and feel the need for some sensory deprivation, I lock myself in the kitchen draw for some R.E.S.T!
How do you like to relax?
@bottymcbotface I looked into R.E.S.T and it seems very interesting. There is nothing like that in Spain (that I know of). I would definitely try it but I would prefer having the tank in my house rather going to public places to relax. For me, I normally relax by sitting on the patio gazing into the scenic views and contemplating the greatness of the God who created this flawless nature. Other times, and especially if I need a break from work, I watch an educational documentary, a TedTalk or one of those American crime shows. It sounds awful saying I relax by watching others' misfortune, but for me it's a way to switch off from work mode and more importantly, to be grateful for all the blessings I have instead of focusing on the things I don't have.

You are educating yourself and learning how not to be a victim, those are positive actions. Sounds like a good patio to be R.E.S.Ting

Thank you @bottymcbotface That's also another aspect of it. My husband thinks those shows have made me paranoid because I take EXTRA steps to stay safe, but for me, I see it 'It's better to be safe than sorry.' And other times, he jokes that I am getting ideas from them to 🔪 🔫 him! 😂 😂 So it seems like he is the paranoid one! Yeah, the patio is a great place to be resting, especially when the sun is out!

After a hard day's work, I like to relax by sitting in a chair in my flower and fruit garden. Having gardens around the home is good. It's beauty helps to relieve stress and improve the mood. See pictures of my garden here https://steemit.com/flowers/@nawi/see-these-beautiful-flowers-around-my-home

we normally relax (my hubby and I) by doing long runs. 20kms up. This is how we do dates and this way we get endorphins loaded. this makes our stress go away. tiring but relaxing.

Thats a good question. I do relax a lot by traveling or going to Spa's once in a while, but, who can do that all the time? I am constantly trying to find ways of relaxing my own self without the need to pay for it.. thats challenging, I try (for now) to breath in an out, watch some series (silly ones so you don't think too much) and dance (even alone at home).

How I relax sometimes depends on my mood.
Though usually I just sit in my room or a quiet spot and read or lose myself in writing or playing an rpg pc game.
Sometimes I sing or dance.

Nothing relaxes me more that the sound of rain or the sound of nature, so thanks to youtube for having an endless options of playlists, also, I like to smoke a joint, watch a series, and be in my bed with a soft blanket to keep me warm while the AC is on 16°C after I took a relaxing shower, haha

Music, Kurzgesagt | PBS Space Time | Extra-Dimensional Geometry simulations | documentaries | watch animation or feature films, build things and potentially destroy them in the process and rebuild them better, image editing &/or manipulation, meandering through steemit, dim or no lighting, single malt Irish whiskey 🥃 or mead 🍷.

Most of the time, beaching/or strolling around make me relaxed. For me, doing something in line with my interest is something that eases my feelings. Some other times, we also go out with family to have some karoke to release stress.
But most of all, i always ask God for peace of mind and serenity.. I avoid grudge with anybody.
And doin steemit is one.. Just recently

My idea is to be one with nature when I am stress. The air, even if it is not healthy anymore with all the pollution and stuffs, but when I am under a tree, I feel sheltered and will get rid of the stress I am feeling. it always did.

Pleased to find this topic here!
I made this experience some years ago here in Hamburg. Went to a spa where they offered floatation. I booked 90 minutes. Though it was not a tank but a dark and quiet room it was quite a journey! The water - very very salty - was carrying me and after two or three minutes in getting used to this strange new environment I totally got lost. I didn't realize time was over. I thought I spent only twenty minutes or so. I cannot remember thinking. That was the most impressive thing about that. My body felt light and after a while I even didn't feel to have a body. It was like floating in space.
After getting out I felt warm and heavy and relaxed. Though very very strange. The outside world seemed to be alien. I walked home and it was like being new born.
Actually: I cannot describe it in words.
You have to try yourself.
What do I normally for relaxation?
I would say: Sleeping.
And then: Writing, Painting.
But actually this is a really difficult question.
Meditating? I cannot give insights because I haven't made it so far. Trying to meditate makes me restless. To much itching, mentally and bodily.
I would like to master it, one day.

I LOVE going for floats! Yes, they're really good.
Another thing that works for me is just working out and getting into my fir sauna for a good long sweat...what a way to decompress.
