    Knitting
    Crocheting

    can be very relaxing once you get the hang of it.

    Combing your hair or your child/grandchild’s hair
    Touching your cat/dog/other animal
    Watching the clouds change shape
    A good thunderstorm is very relaxing to me. I taught my dogs and kids to enjoy them and let me tell ya WE do enjoy them!
    The rhythm of the sounds in summer time at night. Crickets and such!
    A warm bath with some 80’s music on while no one else his own and you have a face mask on. and you have to smile cuz no one can see you!!!

    I agree with all the movies and that while watching them please eat popcorn carefully!

    Hi all – I facilitate a Graves’ Disease support group here in AZ, and at our last meeting, the topic of stress relief came up. We thought it would be a good idea to start a list of our favorite stress relieving activities. Here are a few that came up:

    Yoga
    Meditation
    Reading
    Any activity that absorbs your attention completely — such as video games
    Music
    Funny Movies

    Any other suggestions to add?

    By the way, here are a few of my favorite laugh-out-loud and feel-good movies…these are always good for giving me a couple of stress-free hours! Feel free to add any others. <img decoding=” title=”Very Happy” />

    Airplane!
    Beverly Hills Cop
    The Hangover
    My Life in Ruins
    Bridget Jones’s Diary
    Paul Blart, Mall Cop
    Last Holiday
    Monsters vs. Aliens
    A Knight’s Tale
    Monty Python & the Holy Grail
