I find walking, listening to music and gardening all very relaxing. And definitely a long relaxing soak with some quality bath products. Sanctuary is just the job for this.
My favourite way to relax in a jacuzzi or hot tub. My DD has a hot tub and sometimes when we've been invited round she and I will 'chill' in it with a glass of Prosecco. Bliss!
Ive re-discovered knitting in a bid to relax and lower my blood pressure- but as im forever pulling wool back/reknitting it im sure its having the opposite effect...
A cup of tea, music and repetitive knitting, such as garter stitch rectangles which I make into mini bags for charity. Row after row -it’s addictive and peaceful!
I lie prone on the daybed in my conservatory and look up through the roof and bird watch. I'm out in the country next to the infant Thames & close to a number of lakes and at present there are hundreds of geese to be seen almost at roof level. Its a very calming occupation!
I take hot milk and go to bed with a good book. My husband has dementia and Parkinson's and goes to bed early having worn himself out ranting and pacing (and falling) about the house trying to see what the invisible (to me) people are doing. I make the most of it until he gets up again, about six times a night.
