How Do you Relax?

[Lanre]

Seeing the Thread about TV program started me thinking of finding out what do webmasters do for relaxation?

I like playing tennis and ping-pong but I haven't been doing much of this lately.

So spill it webmasters how do you relax? Beer and TV? Sleeping or even cooking exotic meals?

Will I be flogged if I mention masterbation :?:

Actually, I'm into mountain biking, squash, tennis, computer games and website building/maintaining.

Lanre,

What I do and what works for me, I'll share. I'm not a, "Religion" dude, but I do believe in a power greater than myself (Couldn't take much lol).

I take my fancy dancy (Idiotic), "Executive" Seat/Chair/Whatever and place it in the corner of my office (Home Office). I close my eyes. I take two very DEEP breaths (Inhale - Exhale), and then I take normal, "Inhale-Exhale" breaths 20 times, all the while counting each one. Then I recite a particular, "Stocked" prayer. I set a timer. When the timer goes off, I sometimes stop. Sometimes I don't. After coming out of the, “Silent Solenceâ€Â, I feel serenity. Serenity, to me, is oh so nice.

A great friend of mine said, "Praying is when your talking to God. Meditation is when you shut up and listen.†I understand now, although I’m not ready to rush to Church every Sunday and listen to some preach to me.

People, who know me personally, know when I haven't meditated for a day or two. They state, “You haven’t meditated in a few days, have you?†It works for me. I can only vouch for that, though I would highly recommend to anyone, try it.

Thank you for your question.

Paul

Thanks Paul,
I must say that is quite indept.
Hey Duke I thought this is what you do to relax not work?
Surely you are not saying that website building/maintenance fall
into this category
I wonder what you do for a living then.

To relax I chill out. I go to watch rugby every week, scream at the ref. have a few beers, then home for a relaxing evening.

To help me wind down, I surf. (the web that is, not the water)

Hey Lanre..i've heard about your legendary table tennis skills! Temi said you are the only person who can beat him..! :shock: you must be good..! This is whatme and Temi do to relax at lunch times during work. But outside of work..? like you say beer and TV but that can get a little boring...i also like to rollerblade, kyak, play the piano and the flute, read and i also DJ in clubs which i enjoy.

 

[Patrick]

oh and go and see live music...this is another of my passions...

 

[OldWelshGuy]

Where abouts are you from Old Welsh Guy..?

Neath, which is a town on the South West Coast of Wales. about 4 miles from Swansea.

Funny thing, I bought one of my first clients websites from Velnet, many, many moons ago. I had sold our first web business, and decided to do for others what we had done for ourselves. Small world.

 

[Patrick]

Ahh yes i know Neath...

my mum is from Cardiff and I lived there for about 5 years...

but i suppose as a Swansea guy that means you hate us..!

 

[OldWelshGuy]

No not at all, I was born in Mountain Ash, and used to spend many a happy Saturday afternoon in the Grangend at Ninnian park watching the bluebirds.

Drinking, smoking, partying, f...... , sleep, swimming, reading or working on some computer stuff are my main ways of relaxing.
