What's your favourite way to de-stress?

Being retired.

Zero stress.

I also like time entirely on my own. Very very early walking in the silence and birdsong is stress free.

Stirring a risotto when I’ve just poured myself a glass of the wine I’ve opened to make it...?

A chat with a friend. A walk in the countryside or reading a good book always helps.

Sitting on the garden bench on a day like this, looking at 50 shades of green and reading a good book. That's one of them!

Seems like so far, most of us really appreciate time to ourselves and I agree;here I am trumpets blaring, bee-bopping, on my own of course. All of your de-stressors are wonderful; nothing like being surrounded by the quiet beauty of nature, quiet endeavours like reading and cooking; I enjoy that too, and wine
while cooking is always fine!

Pottering in the garden then sitting in the sun house with a book and cold glass of wine.

Massage and facial: heaven ?

Reading a great book and cuddling my username . Oh, yes, and red wine of course.

Crocheting.

Walking the dogs by the sea.

Sitting in the amazing garden of the retirement apartments complex I live in and that I don't have to mow or otherwise tend and thinking, Wow! I'm fortunate.

Being out in the open and seeing a beautiful view.

I feel quite relaxed just reading ( and imagining) the many R&R pleasures you all enjoy; wonderful!

A large glass of wine!

Wine here too. I know drink isn't the answer but it helps you forget the question!

Sounds like it's wine all around; 'cheers' everyone!

grannyrebel7; dear pets always help relax us, don't they? Hope puppy enjoys 'his' show!

A cup of coffee, an early night and a good book to read.

Cup of tea for me.

If indoors, undemanding television. If outdoors, undemanding weeding. I am more relaxed indoors, though.

Walking in countryside is relaxing, but if I can't do that then playing Scrabble on this phone or reading a good thriller is my way of chilling out.

A hike for me too.

A walk with the dogs preferably with the sound of crashing waves alongside.

Sitting on the garden bench with a cuppa as dusk falls. My little dog at my side, the church on the hill opposite lit up, the scent of mown grass and spring flowers, owls hooting and bats flitting around.

Playing my piano, music always lifts my mood. Wine does also, so it's a close second
