Calgon take me away...

[caitlincares]

Even though we are single I KNOW there are times even we NEED a break...

What makes you need a break?
What do you do to relax?



Sometimes my cat drives me insane and I just want him away.
So I either go to my bedroom and shut the door
OR put up a folding screen in front of the entrance to the living room.

Other times I just light candles to relax.

I try to shut the door and they find me, I can't even go to the bathroom by myself!!! That's when I pack them up and send them home! Ahhhh.........................

Luckily, I live in a single dorm room that I can lock to get away from everyone.
The bad news is I lock myself in with my classwork...

 

[brownyk]

Well! I often need a break from my family so I shut myself in my bedroom and watch TV. Not very constructive I know!

And my Dad can be a little bit trying so I need a break from him...


Most of the time I go out for a drive, put some music on and take my camera with me so I can stop and take pictures if I want!

And sometimes I play the flute which is very relaxing for me...

At work, I'll lock my office door and put on a set of headphones and crank the stereo up...

At home, I'll just go to my bedroom and veg out...

Also see if you can find a spa and get those shoulders massaged as well as back.

It's more likely that people (either at work or parents or someone like that) will start to drive me crazy, so I'll go hang out with my cat to relax

I also like napping, playing computer games, reading a devotional book and/or the Bible, hiking, bike-riding, camping, or playing sports (eg - paintball )

The shower is my place of relaxation. Unfortunatly the hot water only lasts 15 minutes. But sometimes I get in and I don't even clean or wash myself, I just let the hot water run down my head/face/body and just relax.

I have issues with stress. When I was 19, I was hospitalized for a week because of stress...I developed shingles on my right hip. I was bedrested for an additional 12 days. So if I am working on a stressful project or something, I just walk away and will lay down and watch TV, or get on the computer and surf the internet or something like that.

When I am home, I have to get away from people sometimes, and so I will just go in my room and lay there with the door closed and just comtemplate...or I will drive around, that releases a lot of my stress.

I think even though we are single we definetly need calgon to take us away because most people forget that we don't have a spouse to help us with the household stuff like housework, meals, paying bills, etc. so of course we need a break. And if you are a single parent, well God's blessings to you my friend . . .your job is double the trouble (but well worth it!).

Anyway . . .I usually need to take a break when I've been around too many unChristlike for too long a period of time!

And what I do to relax is . . .take a calgon bath (like your OP says) AND light some wonderful smelling candles and enjoy the soft light. I also am an avid reader - of the Word first and foremost, then Christian literature. Plus I write and write and write volumes in my journal.

When I need a break, I go into bunker mode. No contact, not even the internet. I may play some comp games, but they get old quick. I'll do Calculus or Physics, or read, as long as it's something with meat, like theology, Calc or Physics. Actually, I've read huge portions of the Bible during some of my "breaks". I need to get alone sometimes to recharge my batteries, so to speak.

I live alone so I always have a refuge here, but right now when I really want to relax, I just go over my girlfriends house and jsut chill on the couch with her and usually end up just rubbing her feet, and talk for hours.

When I am on the computer and want to relax I just tune in "The Gospel Station" online and listen to good ole southern Gospel music. http://www.thegospelstation.com/dyn/showpage.php?id=13 great stuff!!!

Hey I love the same things about what you do only I don't hike nor do bike-riding nor camp though I loved it as a kid!!

If I'm completely stressed out, then I will often just go to sleep. If I'm not that far yet I will go pray and read the bible and then sleep. And the third stage is frustration, and I try to go run when I feel that way....
