To relax I love a nice cup of decaffeinated tea whilst. I am having a bath with lavender essential oils .Then into a warm bed heated up with an electric blanket to read a good book .
I escape into my crafting which I find very relaxing. Depending on how much attention I want to give to the craft will depend on whether I will knit, cross stitch or papercraft but I do find it absorbing and it releases tension after a busy day.
I find it difficult to relax, as my mind seems to be overactive. I've tried chilling with a good book and low lights together with lavender candles, however still struggle with total relaxation.
Doing the crossword with a nice cuppa. Reading a good thriller. Watching the afternoon/evening quiz shows and trying to get the answers. A leisurely look round the shops.
