As I think of them, I guess it's good to record in case I forget, since I often need to relax. Depending on the exact mood and situation, here are a few:
1. listen to music (classical or jazz, depending...), lighting candles, and reading (together or separate)
2. go for a walk to nowhere and let my thoughts wander
3. Mindfulness meditation mp3 or video
4. writing
5. drive up Sheridan Rd. to the North Shore (to Lake Cook Rd and back)
6. If I can find a cafe like I used to go to, go there and read and/or write.
7. play the piano
8. hugs
8. bubble bath
9. complete and utter silence for several minutes (the kind where you hear stuff in your neck moving and buzzing noises in your ears.
10. yoga or pilates
11. although it's not relaxation, I have found that if I am unshakeably (unshakably) sad, hardcore chocolate helps.
