How do you Relax? (plus a poll)

[BibleExplorerIII]

Throughout my life I've found it very difficult to relax sometimes. I'm curious as to what y'all do in order to relax. What has and/or hasn't worked for you?

Also included is a poll: Do you find yourself thinking most often about the past, future or the present?

Thanks!

I clear my head regularly with a game I play on my tablet called "battleship solitaire". When my
head is clear, I can work through 10 or more puzzles without error. If I am distracted, I will mess
up immediately and have to start over. I re-focus, then pray, study, write. Admittedly, I could just
stop and spend time in prayer and study, but I like doing the puzzles as a pass time, and I can gauge
my mental state right away if I am unsuccessful at them.

Mainly the now. Going on long walks, talking to someone on the phone, or spending time with someone, being thankful for life, try not to think about the past, you can always try writing down what’s bothering you, and praying to ask God to help you if you are a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. There are many scriptures about prayer here are some ( Philippians 4:4-7; Ephesians 4:2-3; Romans 8:26-28; Colossians 4:2-3; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18; Luke 11:9-10; James 1:19-20; Galatians 5:16 ).

I relax by taking my marrow bone and lying under the tree in the garden, gnawing on it.

Future

The past is past
The present is passing

I listen to music and play some for relaxation. Also meditate and take walks.

With your owner?

With your owner?

Yes, but he is always in a hurry. I want to stop and smell everything.

To relax:
1. Long walks
2. Swimming
3. Looking at my aquarium
4. Sit in church by myself or attend sermons.

I think a lot of past mistakes. I also worry about the future. I voted future, but I think just as much about the past. If there was a price for most thinking, I'd be a contender.

We get up at 3 every morning and spend time with God. It is basically any where from a 1/2 hour to an hour during the week on the account of having to go to work . But during the weekend it goes on for a couple hours. We do a devotion during the evening to and also pray through out the day.

Tension is a form of fear.
I simply love the Love that loves you. This humbles me and opens my heart every time.

I hate the present, have no hope for the future and love the good old days.

No hope for the future?

 

[Taodeching]

No hope for the future?

Nope, looking at the stupid people all over, the selfish people which has been spurred on by the internet and social media not much to hope for. Give me old fashion times with old fashion values any day over what is now and the future

You have hope in Christ, right?

not humanity

not humanity

Humanity is never going to save us, that much I know.

I relax by going on long walks in the surrounding countryside of Staffordshire and Shropshire - and doing photography. We have an extensive canal network around here, the toll paths of which are perfect for bike riding.
I enjoy playing my digital piano and writing music compositions.
Chatting to friends on the phone. Having the occasional coffee and/or meal out.
