Working. ..

 

It used to be very relaxing to fabricate structural steel and then put it together on a jobsite. Steel don't care. ..you can hit it as hard as you want,  it doesn't matter. 

 

I always found that hard manual labor relaxed me..but, that was then..

 

Nowadays I sit on the back deck and shoot my airguns.  You need to have everything relaxed to make a good shot,  can't have the coffee jitters,  no thumping heart, just nice and calm and squeeeeze....very relaxing.

[Friends just call me Ross]

Staring at Étienne Jacob's .Gif Art can be relaxing...

My favorite it actually painting while listening to JWB or relaxing music. Crocheting and knitting seem to also work well.

Singing.

The shower hates it. Brings me endless joy.

 

Honestly, photography. It makes you stop, look and observe the world around us. There's not many things that make us stop and look in this system. How often are photos taken of people, nature, sunsets etc. Its grounding. Especially in the artificial world Satan has us living in.
