I’ve been really struggling to unplug my brain after a heavy week at work and I always overthink my free time, to the point where I don’t know what I’d prefer to do.
What’s your ‘go to’ way to relax or disconnect from real life?
Thanks!

How many of them are your own?
If ya live close to the ocean, bodyboarding is a cheap sport to pick up and have a bunch of fun
Marijuana and TV with the wife
Angry wank.
What are you angry at?
Myself.
Listen to music. It allows you to enjoy something without having to use your eyes, especially if you’re in front of a screen the entire day. You can either close your eyes and rest, or just stare outside your window to refresh your vision.
After a long day, usually just extra thc in one form or another. After a long week, I need some walking with headphones time. I walk or run around the neighborhood listening to music, thinking and feeling. When the weather allows, I bring the dog with me, but he can’t take the heat like I can. It’s something with the rhythm of my motion and the rhythm of the music and the rhythm of my thoughts. It really resets me.
Go crusing Driving all weekend is the best
I either watch a couple of episodes of some of my favourite sitcoms or of star trek TNG/voyager. Or I just open a book like discworld on my ebook reader and listen to it with my eyes closed, through ear phones, especially if I am experiencing eye fatigue.
I’m usually tired enough that my sleepiness overcomes my anxiety.
I go to the gym, on off days I go for a ride on my mountain bike. Doing something physical forces my mind to disengage from anything other than what I’m doing right that moment.
Trick question. I never unwind.
Weed, beer, sex, camping, reading. Not necessarily in that order.
Well I’ve picked up the routine of rock climbing at a indoor gym immediately after a tense day of office work. So I’ve been going almost daily 😂. You pay little to no mind to anything other than wanting to place both hands on the final hold at the end of a route. I also draw A LOT. Spend quality time with my wife listening to her, engaging in conversation with her and I leave my phone away from me. Cook at home and try to be present and in the moment with all my friends young and old. I’m technically monetarily poor and unapologetically-unbelievably happy. Although we used to be monetarily rich we traded that for more personal time and I will never go back to such a slave-like lifestyle (working like an animal to store useless riches and material objects) don’t get me wrong we work really hard but just for our essentials and for the sake of keeping a solid reputation of good work ethic on the 3-4 days we work a week. I recommend it to anyone.
