    I lose myself in a good book, usually a cozy mystery…and it helps if my cats are nearby for petting.

    That is exactly what I do.  I find reading very relaxing especially with my doxie and cat next to me.  We think alike!

      I take my 3 grandkids too the park. We have a nature trial that they love too walk through.

          I do tai chi. Sometimes I close my eyes and breathe in and visualize the ocean tide flowing towards me. On the outbreath I see the tide flowing away from me. I have a calm place in my mind where I can go if things get too stressful. It is an image of me as a child laying on the warm cement sidewalk going up to my childhood home. It is night and I am looking up at the stars. We used to do this a lot on warm summer nights while our parents and neighbors sat on the front porch talking.
