Hello, Community! This time, we’re returning to after-hours themes, encouraging you to build our unique list of the best ways of achieving relaxation! Share your own methods and places to relax and calm your nerves down.
Share what works for you. Maybe a walk in the forest? A long bath? Or a sauna session? Reading your favorite book while lying on the couch? Or a solid workout in the gym? The range of options is endless!
Don’t forget that every participant receives a unique “Chillout” badge. You’ll see in your Community profile next month, as well as 100 bonus points!
Kicking off the challenge, I would share my own effective method to chill my mind and reset for a while. When I’m visiting the Polish coast, I love sunny weekend walks in Gdańsk’s Brzeźno Pier, and while in Silesia, the best way to relax is a day off in the Beskid Mountains
My mind thinking about that slow pedal, going uphill, I can’t think of anything else but getting to the next curve, to the next tree.
When I finish, the effort turns into inner peace.
One of my favorite things to do when I unwind (and that I’ve always particularly done when I was younger) is to play music. I love just taking a couple of moments here and there through the day, and even after to work - to pick up my guitar, or sit next to my piano and just learn a new song or compose something. It really gets me in a flow state where nothing in the world matters but the sounds I create. :musical_notes:
I go to the mountains:mountain: with instant ramen noodles:steaming_bowl: and a small stove in my backpack. When you reach the top of the mountain, you will cook ramen on the stove you brought and eat it while looking at the beautiful scenery. It’s a very relaxing time for me.
For me best way to relax is sports. Either going for a run on my own with some music in my ears or practicing Taekwondo helps me to get my thoughts away from stressful events. And sometimes its just resting on the couch with music plugged into my ears to un-plug from the world around me. Also Sauna is a great way to relax for me, but just not available every time…
For me, in short, it’s being disconnected from the virtual world :mobile_phone: So my best methods for chilling out are running (at the seaside or in the woods), gardening, and spending quality time with my kids, be it board games, painting, or playing with their pets :turtle:
with friend’s & endless humorous talk.
