So I finished the second on my 2 hardest exams (financial and managment accounting..I know I know I'm cool). I wrote at 8 am today and yesterday so I haven't slept in a few days. I wrote the exam, I am exaushted and what do I go and do? I clean the interior of my car beacuse I have been bad and let it get dirty. So I'm really tired and hoped up on coffee (I love my tim hortons).
I find that when I get really stressed I deatail a car and I relax(I'm a work-a-holic), it's my escape. So my question is what do others do to relax? what's the one thing you do that just lets you take that much needed deep breath?
My other escape is scotch and wine tasting.. but it's a little hard to do at 11 in the morning. :cool:
 
agree on the detailing. If we don't have anyone booked, I'll ask a family member to give me their car for a detail. Other than that, I like to play basketball with my sons (11 and 6) or play some Xbox 360 with them.

If I'm really stressed out, I go out and drive while listening to something a little softer than my usual punk or metal. I'm always a little more relaxed after some spirited driving.
 
Washing, waxing, polishing, taking care of our vehicles in general is kind of like my golf. While it requires some physical effort, it isn't really exhausting and the end results make it very satisfying.

To just relax and blow away the cobwebs without expending any physical effort, a motorcycle ride is probably as good as it gets for me.
A boat ride would have to be a close second.

I do the exact same.......
 
SLEEP!!!! or i go down to the firehouse with my friend and just sit back grab some chips and watch the big screen T.V.
 
watch tv and read messages on detailcity! I also like cleaning something on the car. To look in the garage and see a nice clean, well maintained car is relaxing. I also like listening to audio books.
 
I go run for 10 miles and then come back and lift weights and then clean my house. That always relaxes me.

Okay I'm totally lying!! ;)

The truth... A nice relaxing detailing session with a bubble bath afterwards and a nice drink that contains rum and I'm like melted butter. :)

That is interesting...my wife records audio books for me all the time. I love to have them around. I do a lot of driving. The audio books make the day seem timeless.

Most of my cohorts think it is wierd to listen to books rather than listening to music. I just tell them to each their own.

I also enjoy listening to podcast from all over. Sports, news, technology you name it there is a podcast going somewhere.

I really like audiobooks. I started listening almost 2 years ago. I always listen to them when I go to bed, it's like reading in bed, but your eyes are closed.

My brother in law also listens to them while commuting. He has about a 70 mile drive each way, mostly in traffic, but like you, it makes his commute seem timeless.
 
I like to take a warm shower, put on some of my finest clothes, brush my teeth, put on a really enticing cologne for the ladies, brush my mullet , and go cruising in my camaro ....oh $#&$ , I was dreaming I was the Fuzz :D

Never Mind :2santa
 
A quart of Jack and several hellacious hits on a bong!
Nevermind I was dreaming I was uh like I said nevermind.
 
Grab a couple beers and get on the float in the pool for hours:cool: . I remember my financial courses back at college, Financial Account wasn't too bad, but Managerial and Corporate Accounting were not easy.

I love mangment accounting, thinking of getting my cma because of it. I like the idea of drinking and swimming, i love to do it in the summer on the lake, but to bad that lakes frozen
 
Fishing and boating, sometimes at the same time, does it for me. The downside is that I only get that particular enjoyment every few years.
