Personally, I find books and music to be among the most sensational forms of external stimulus to help me relax. I usually don’t do anything without some kind of music playing if I can help it. There is always some kind of music playing in my classroom, in my headphones at night, when I write, when I read, etc… These things are immensely relaxing to me. Nothing, though, is quite as relaxing as having a nice conversation and a good hearty laugh with my wife. More often than not we are in tune and our inside jokes keep up grinning. Ultimately, I have a multitude of blessed relaxation techniques (don’t get me started on my video games or moderate addiction to being in nature….), and I couldn’t be more thankful.
