ways to relax

i heart the post today on carrots'n'cake asking everyone to post what they do to relax. here my list of the things i do to relax:

• go for a walk in the woods with my hubby and my beast
• make a cup of Dandy Blend add some stevia and soymilk creamer
• grab a good read (not one that involves too much thought)
• catch up on grey's anatomy or project runway online (no tv here!)
• yoga. yoga. yoga.
• sit comfortably and breathe.
• snuggle up with my pup (sometime referred to as beast)
• tidy up. surprisingly, this brings me so much satisfaction that is really is relaxing.
• glass of yummy vino white or red.
• call my brother - who is my best friend.
• journal & dream.
• write a letter to snail mail to a friend or family member
• look at photos!

it's nice to take the time to think about what actually makes me feel relaxed. maybe it can serve as a reminder to do these things more often.
