I need to fully relax

[Diciple]

I have a habit of always doing something. If I am not watching T.V. I am reading or maybe I put the computer on. Especially the computer gives me almost endless fun. I need more time where I can sit doing nothing I suppose? I am over 50 with no lady friend. My excuse is eczema trouble. Can any members help?

Just the computer? Why not some good hobbies and other interests too? Help out with a volunteer group assisting the underprivileged or needy. Regular exercise has many benefits too.

sounds like your brain is stimulated a lot, maybe you can switch gears and do more physically challenging things, exercise is a great thing for your body (check with your doctor if needbe first). even just standing up and walking can be beneficial. add a walkmen with Bible tapes and you won't feel lonely

if you are a doer anyway, let that energy be put for Jesus, print up some Gospel tracts and see who you can share them with

I should have also said that I do a lot of walking. I am even thinking of joining a Christian walking club. Check my homepage please if you think I dont have any hobbies except computer. I am int all sorts of things and that is my point. Maybe I am taking in too much information etc.

You sound just like me, always on the go - personally I wouldn't have it any other way. I couldn't sit around and do nothing.

If it bothers you, try some relaxation exercises, or get a massage or something that require you to be still for a bit, but then you could get back to what you enjoy and are staying busy with.

Are you stressed or bothered that you are always doing something?

Have you ever tried the relaxation exercises where you tense each muscle group then relax them? You could prolly google to find exactly how to do it. I do these exercises occasionally when I just can't completely relax. It works wonders.

Another good way is to pray until you fall asleep. That works well too.

I posted in the anxiety forum some exercises my therapist taught me.

Remove all the distractions. I had to remove them all in order to save myself.

Sometimes it is just good to turn it all off and go for a walk. Disconnect from all the distractions of life and put God first. When you do that, the rest will fall into place. Trust me on that.

Have you ever stopped to think and never started again?
