What's your favorite way to relax?

The most relaxing thing I've ever done is watching a thunderstorm while high, getting a bj, and eating an ice cream sandwich.

But in general, nothing relaxes me like cuddles.

Weed + video games/movie + a shit load of chocolate

The question is what your favourite way to relax is. If someone asked what our favourite food is, a lot of people would probably say pizza. That doesn't mean they're eating it every day. Weed is a pretty effective and enjoyable way to relax, I'm not surprised that a lot of people would mark it as their favourite.

Netflix and chill. It's the the absolute best.

yes but thats not what the thread is about

Probably doing something outdoors like walking in the woods, swimming in a lake/river or lying on grass in the shade.

A steaming hot shower/bath.

Showering. I sometimes feel like I could literally live in the shower. I absolutely love Korean-style bathhouses. Wish I had one closer to me.

In my power recliner in front of my TV and my computer.

My bf massages and scratches my neck, shoulders, and back while some of my favorite soft classical pieces play in the background.

Hasn't happened yet, unfortunately. Not in entirety, anyway.

A nice cup of sleepy tea and a nap.

Just the internet I guess

Going to a movie in a theater. It's the one place I can completely tune out the rest of the world, not check my phone for a couple hours, and just absorb a film.

Shower.

Laying on the bed doing whatever.

Smoke weed.

I wish I could relax while browsing.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm missing out on something by having never smoked.

You are. You should at least try it once, along with shrooms and lsd (unless you have a family history of mental illness)

Weed and video games. I should go for more massages though.

In no particular order:
- meditation
- hot tub soak/bath/sauna session
- professional massage
- take a country drive on underpopulated back roads
- sit on couch + drink a local craft beer + browse internet
- ingest very small amount of perfectly legal (in some US states) edible plant material and listen to chill music
- nap
- netflix and chill w/wife

FWIW, I haven't had much of a chance to do any of these lately (past 6m - 1yr), so hoping to maybe find new ways to relax that better fit in with my current work/life responsibilities.

The last part of your statement is very important.

I practically never smoke anymore, but unless it just flat out doesn't agree with you, there are probably a few little things it can be useful for. Like as a sleep aid, brainstorming, bonding with your pets, etc. It's mild enough that doing it every once in a while can be pretty harmonious with a decent lifestyle.

A beer or coffee listening to my record collection, or playing a game

Yoga is by far the best way I have found to relax

Walking my dog

Reading, especially comics

Napping

Imbibing decaffeinated evening tea

Eventually I want to try tai chi
