Leisure time is such an unexpected pleasure when you’re able to find the time. These days, our lives are so busy with our own activities as well as those of our children, that’s it’s truly hard to find time to simply relax and enjoy your life.

When that rare moment arises, what do I do to relax? I could travel, but that involves the anxiety of schedules and itineraries and timing of events…not so relaxing (although I still do it of course!)

I could work in my yard, which some people find relaxing, but wait…it’s “work”. Cross that off the list.

Doing nothing at all seems relaxing, but what joy is found in that?

For me to relax, I revel in listening to music, reading a book, spending time with my wife and family, completing a good workout, eating a great meal, going on a picturesque hike in perfect weather, or taking a catnap. Those are my first blush though on relaxation. Check out the gallery below if you’re so inclined.

So, what is your “go-to” activity to relax? Share it in the comments (just not anything to do with the song “Relax” by Frankie Goes to Hollywood…please and thank you!)
