Relaxing

Bubble bath - feeling it, soft and gentle, scented

Resting - just lying around and not sleeping

Jesus prayer - comforting, reassuring, touching me deeply; different formats but mine is "Jesus" - this word alone

Being present and focused on what I am doing; gently and not too seriously

Walking slowly and being aware of that


Eating slowing and enjoying that; this is hard for someone who is single and lives alone and eats alone


Music - instrumental; gentle and quiet


Reading - another focus; not surprising that it has been difficult to finish a book lately


Sleeping - of course; deep sleeping


Writing - getting feelings out; relaxed after


Facing situations and feelings; then they can be dealt with honestly and openly


Writing - quiet reflecting


Staying in bed and reading


Taking time to do things; slowing down; enjoying them


Deep breathing; relaxed breathing; slowed down breathing


Decaf coffee - it tastes good but without the kick of the caffeine


Guided meditation - it puts me to sleep
