I'm interested too.. I so don't know how to relax. Even when I try I find myself drifting off into a to do list daydream!

Since I'm currently suffering from a bout with insomnia I'm leaning towards a bottle of whiskey as my relaxation technique!

How about a glass of Merlot.. it is heart healthy, too!

I exercise and have a glass of wine for bedtime. Honestly it is the only thing that will put me to sleep.

In the summertime to destress I will go outside for a walk, garden, take a swim.
In the wintertime to destress I will read a book, take a bath, bake.

Depending on the amount of time I have, I will go to the gym or go for a run/walk/bike ride, meet a friend for lunch/dinner/drinks, take a bath, have a cup of hot tea. My favorite is getting together with friends. I make sure to go away for 1 - 2 weekends a year with the girls which has been a lifesaver for me. (I don't do whiskey but a glass of wine on occasion helps too)
