I thoroughly enjoy getting away from the game and going out fishing because it’s so relaxing, so quiet and peaceful. I mean, there’s no noise other than nature – and it’s so different from what I do in a tournament situation that it just eases my mind.
The thought of a spa treatment is lovely, but I’d be lying there having a massage and worrying about how much I had to do. I’m not very good at relaxing!

I’m not a big cook at all, but anything easy and quick, like pasta, I’m up to. My husband cooks for me because he finds cooking relaxing.
What I have found is that the best way to unwind is cooking. You only have two hands. If you are chopping veggies, you are forcing yourself to put the phone down or step away from the computer. It’s extremely relaxing.
The simple life on the farm was everything to me. Nothing was more relaxing after a long plane flight than to reach the winding driveway that led up to my house. The quiet of the night was more soothing than a sleeping pill.
I guess my perfect day would be relaxing with my wife somewhere peaceful and secluded, or just lounging on the couch and watching TV.
I’m a tomboy, but I really love doing my makeup – I find it relaxing and grounding. With ‘The Daily Show,’ it was easier for me to do my own makeup. In the beginning, I watched a lot of YouTube tutorials. You find a beauty blogger who has your skin tone, and pretty much everything they use will look good on you.
I’m a high-strung personality, and I love checking off my to-do list – it’s my way of relaxing. I also genuinely love working out. If I have an hour to kill, I love to go to the gym. It’s a stress-release for me.
I just feel my body clock is different when it comes to making films than other directors. Being on set, and sweating, that feeling eases me more than actually when the movie’s over; being on set, moving around, to me feels more relaxing than being done with the movie.
But, if you read science journals or the inside of Snapple caps, you might already know that watching TV is the closest you can get to being dead, which is why it’s so relaxing.
For me, the best way to unwind at the end of the day while I’m pregnant is to take a nice, long soak. I get in my bathtub, download a show onto my computer, prop it up on a chair, and just lie there watching and relaxing.

I love speculating about solutions to problems in mathematics. I have no interest whatever in sudoku. But I do look at chess and bridge problems in newspapers. I find that relaxing.
It’s relaxing to be around somebody that you don’t have to try so hard around.
Thinking about what songs are coming next instead of just relaxing, breathing and playing from my heart. Sometimes it can get to be almost like the enemy.
Being in music forever, I have good pitch, so I know when I’m singing in or out of tune. But the key to really good singing is just relaxing and thinking about what the song is.
This almost never happens, but what is really relaxing is just being in this house all by myself, sitting quietly and watching TV. But I basically never get that chance.
It’s comforting and relaxing to know exactly what’s expected out of you.
I think it’s important to incorporate everything into all parts of your life. I don’t separate all the things – during the day, I talk to my kids; they come and visit. On weekends, we go crazy and do lots of activities. I’m just not good at relaxing.
For me, creating music is just as relaxing as sitting down and doing nothing.
My husband is always telling me I need to do less, do less, do less. But I feel like if I’m not being productive, I have a hard time relaxing and enjoying myself.

It sounds a bit sad, but my new hobby is knitting. I love it. I find it really relaxing.
I miss the racing hugely. If you told me I could go off and do it tomorrow afternoon I would. For me that’s always been my way of shutting everything off and relaxing.
Most people would rather sit on a plane for two hours than spend two days on a train, but there’s nothing comparable to taking a relaxing rail journey with your family or good friends.
I garden. It’s very relaxing to me.
Growing up, being watched from the outside… it’s kind of very taxing and maybe I should just do some kind of manual labor-it might be more relaxing. But I can’t, it’s not in my nature.
Because I saw my parents relaxing in armchairs and reading and liking it, I thought it was a peaceful grown-up thing to do, and I still think that.
I find that a really restful, relaxing way to spend time on a plane is to listen to an audiobook while drawing.
I’m 20 years old. I like to party as much as anyone my age. Going clubbing is my way of relaxing or releasing a lot of stress. I don’t feel that I should have to justify that part of my life. I don’t know that I’m necessarily an addict.
I like being in warm weather. I find that relaxes me. I like being near water. I like sitting on a beach and sort of hearing the water, watching waves break, looking at the shimmering. I find that really relaxing.
Whether you’re praying, meditating, you’re getting silent, relaxing your mind… and you definitely want to train hard – in the weight room, on the track. You need to do all of it.
The aesthetic of architecture has to be rooted in a broader idea about human activities like walking, relaxing and communicating. Architecture thinks about how these activities can be given added value.
I’m incapable of truly relaxing. I remember when I was younger and less wise or experienced, actors that I knew would always talk about jobs ending and wondering whether they were ever going to work again. Now that’s my life.
I still dream about being on the space station with the feeling of being weightless. The weightlessness is the most amazing, relaxing and natural feeling.

I find ‘Chainsaw’ to be a very relaxing film.
I’ve actually done a really good job listening to my body, relaxing. Some days you train hard, some days you rest a little bit.
Stand-up comedy is the most relaxing thing I do. If I want to unwind and de-stress, I go out and do stand-up, often several shows in a night.
I’m terrible at relaxing and holidays. For me, a day off is going to the gym. I could never just lie on the beach and read a book.
Running started as a way of relaxing. It’s the only time I have to myself. No phones or e-mails or faxes.
My ideal holiday would be to spend the first week doing lots of fun stuff, then to spend the second week relaxing on a beach.
I am not very good at relaxing.
My idea of heaven used to be relaxing at home with a cheese plate and champagne.
I’ve been to three different islands in the Maldives, and the Caribbean was relaxing, although my holidays are always peppered with some sport, sightseeing, or diving.
If the point of an activity is to be relaxing, changing that point to money isn’t a great idea. Then you have to show up for it differently, and that can take the fun out of it, absolutely. I’m a big fan of turning your hobbies into businesses, but not if it’s the hobby you do to relax and unplug.
To me, relaxing doesn’t mean that we play ding-dong songs and look at a wall of bamboo. It’s just completely unoriginal.
A beach date would be awesome, with like a little picnic basket, some fruit and bread – just something really, really relaxed and laid-back. I like just relaxing all day, maybe playing in the water a little bit. It’s just totally a day to chill.
So many people get content. So many people stop when they’re at the top. They’ll let someone take their place because they’re relaxing. That’s not going to happen.
Sunday is about relaxing and wearing anything comfortable. I love wearing a J. Crew shirt and jeans, which is a treat because I never wear these kinds of clothes during the week.
Our Sunday evenings tend to be quiet and relaxing, and we try to go to bed early before the start of another busy week.
I like to fish. Fishing is always a way of relaxing.
One of the biggest mistakes I see in the bedroom is that they plan to be doing things other than sleeping in the bedroom. They will have a desk in there for working, or they’ll have a big shelf in there for storing things. It should be all about relaxing.
