What do you do to relax?

[RussianRoulette]

I know all of us here have a wide variety of hobbies so I wanted to ask today:

What do you do in your free time to relax?

(With all the stressful Kpop news lately we all probably need it )

Some things I do to attempt to relax is:

- Going to the gym. I know a lot of people roll their eyes when they are told that running or working out is good for their mental health and anxiety, but (sadly?) this advice is actually true. I like going to the gym at night so I get tired for bed, and it gets me out of the house and gives me some me time for an hour. I savor that hour of me time when I watch my kdramas or anime on the machines every day uninterrupted

- Sewing. I know stabbing things with a tiny needle at night before bed to relax and get tired probably sound like a terrible idea, but I like sewing and it works for me. I like making cute trinkets. It's been my hobby since I was in elementary school.

- I have yet to use it but I recently got one of those "kawaii"coloring books for adults that are trending on ASMR tiktok. I have a whole tub of almost 10 yr old copic markers sitting in my room from when I was younger collecting dust so I thought at the very least I can get some use of them again with this. It seems relaxing? One of my favorite video game characters who was a professional at making people relax had this as his hobby as well and when has anime ever lied to me.

What do you do to relax?

I forgot to add this: but I also started listening to animal crossing background music to relax following Stray Kids's Felix recommendation. Albeit not all animal crossing music is relaxing *cough2amcough* but do feel calmer and more productive doing work to that music.

Listen to music. I'm saving Seulgi's mini for this friday night.

As cliche as it may be, a hot bath and cup of tea work for me. Add some lo-fi background music and I'm set.

Also writing haiku's, origami, tai chi, and doodling.

In the warmer months I enjoy lounging in my hammock at a park (one of the best gifts I've received.)
And walking my neighborhood with a playlist/podcast on.

I don't stress much to be honest, I'm very laid back, maybe too much sometimes

I can relax with music, games, lay down on my bed or being alone at night

We use to have a hammock but we had an issue where when you were laying down in it you were face-level with the dog. Every time you tried to relax she made sure she was in your face the whole time and sometimes would try to push you out of it

NGL I was expecting you to reply with “look at pictures of Sana’s face” or something

I’ve been trying to get into mangas and manhwa’s again! I keep getting trapped in the “only 10 chapters one update a month” curse though

Personally I prefer Pinterest for my pictures of Sana

Mostly posting on H because I have severe anxiety. Posting and looking for things to post occupies my thoughts and calms me down.

I feel you there. weekly/monthly manga is a literal mess to keep up with. Esp if you're following 10+ series at the same time like my current manhwa reading list (+3 manga too). My new favorite ongoing manga is Rugby Rumble bc I get to finally read ab a sport that I enjoy watching irl. I've also been meaning to get into Kagurabachi now that all of the big 2010s shonen jump manga that I followed have finally finished publication. Then I also need to pick up some new Shoujo series after avoiding anything new from the genre for half a decade. I like to let my manga marinate so that I can speed-run 20+ chapters in one sitting.


Though there is one manhwa that I've had sitting on the backburner, and now it's at 130+ chapters. Now idk whether to finally start reading it, or just wait until the story's wrapped up only for it to be twice the length than it already is.

Spending time with animals of course! Other than that one of my favorite things is getting my Katana out and pretending I'm some kind of cool swordsman.

eat my lovely spicy shin ramen alone in the house, very coping.
I toast the best shin ramen 4ever.

And by eating my fave Tequito (highly addicted to this Mexican food)

And needless to say, KPOP !
