i am thinking about how we relax in the midst of all the stress we are all facing. it will be fun to see how we all achieve this elusive thing without us feeling guilty for taking time out from our studies.
i will start. i have a variety of stuff i do. i love to watch a few sitcoms, my favorite is becker. i also enjoy a good movie or novel. once i start these 2, i may take a whole night 'off'!!! i also love to cook and this relaxes me. while cooking, i tend to muse over the day and i strategise for the coming days.
best of all, i love to go out and have dinner, a drink or be driven around the contryside. i dont get the last one often cos my hubby does not have such time to drive me around.

Cool topic tolito.........Well I normally close my eyes and try to gaze at the blackness ....the darkness inside......its a bit tough for the starters but smoothens as you move on. its really a refresh button of the brain!
Try it. It soothens u if u want a cool feel in a short time.
i put an alarm of 20minutes ahead time. eg if its 9.00now i put a 9.20 alarm .......and then take a nap it takes on an average of 6 minutes to go to sleep with books open and such a short nap will really make you feel easy. But try this in ur tension days othjerwise u'll switch ur alarm off and zzzzzzzzzzz u go.
movies, music are definitely a practical options but they really take my concentration away during crucial times.....so i go for a small prayer.......which really motivates me from inside!
BOL

- "Going out with good friends or a nice lady to have dinner outdoors"
Well, I’m running down the road
Tryin’ to loosen my load
I’ve got seven women on
My mind,
Four that wanna own me,
Two that wanna stone me,
One says she’s a friend of mine
Take it easy, take it easy
Don’t let the sound of your own wheels
Drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don’t even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
And take it easy
Well, I’m a standing on a corner
In winslow, arizona
And such a fine sight to see
It’s a girl, my lord, in a flatbed
Ford slowin’ down to take a look at me
Come on, baby, don’t say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is
Gonna save me
We may lose and we may win though
We will never be here again
So open up, I’m climbin’ in,
So take it easy
Well I’m running down the road trying to loosen
My load, got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin’ for a lover who won’t blow my
Cover, she’s so hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy
Don’t let the sound of your own
Wheels make you crazy
Come on baby, don’t say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is
Gonna save me, oh oh oh
Oh we got it easy
We oughta take it easy
somehow couldn't help but quoting eagles on reading this line...:-)

well after step 1 my mistake was to decompensate and watch half a season of ER. In the end I started to hate myself for watching movies and to speed the video to 1.5x to get finished and went to bed. anyhow - my advice now would be - stay away from the computer. talk to peoples. not on the phone, internet etc. exercise
