Things you do to relax!

By the way, I really believe in the healing effect of physical contact, so I suggest if you don't have a partner and you don't have children and you're not that cuddly with family and friends: go to a spa or a treatment thing and get a massage on a regular basis. I think it's one of the most relaxing things that exist. It makes you feel better and you feel loved too and it's like your body is melting and all muscles loosen up.

Seriously? I can't remember the last time I was relaxed.
These days I seem to live in some sort of "hyperfocus": watching everything, pre-empting, planning, organizing, taking care. It's like my life is a dashboard with a million lights on it. One light goes out, three others go on.

It's not bad, to be honest.
I enjoy stress (up to a certain level).

But I was with an airport massage parlour in Singapore (one of the most brilliant airports in teh world: they have everything! Cinemas, shops, games, beds, restaurants, bars...You could easily stay there for three days without getting bored) to get my poor tortured body in shape for an eight hour flight.
Well, the poor man really had to work for his money...and no matter how much effort and muscle he put into it, I came away as kinked and locked up as I came in.
I told him I was quite stiff, and he, sweating profusely and with the most resigned look I've seen in all of Singapore, just looked at me and nodded slowly.

So maybe ...just maybe I should try that relax thing.
One of these days.

Do they have juicy babes?

Indeed! Nothing cures my stress and worries like a big hug from my boy when I pick him up from day care and then a night of hardcore sex with the wife! Sorry, I'm chuckling here.

Seriously, the hug from Mr. Moo usually only last 3 seconds but it puts a smile on my face and makes me forget about the lousy day I had a work.

Pff. <-- That was for Martijn's reply.

Not really. Worst of it is an an absolutey burning pain in my left shoulder that runs right through to my arm.
It always passes in a day or so (and no: I *am* aware of the symptoms of a heart attack, and apparently it's not that at all ).

I have a booby stress ball too. With nipple and all.

All at the same time? Doesn't sound very relaxing.

at plind's comment!

I didn't know stressing could be so much fun

would be a perfect thing to carry to work

Oh... dear.. God...

OMG, this is brilliant

The perfect gift for my boss at work, I wonder how my evaluation will be then
Thanks Bregje

And that too, really. Maintitles has been a very frequent stop during the whole day for me for years now. Combined with good music playing in the background, it gets me throughout all the emotions. It's such a vivid, personal and strong experience for me in many ways.
