Path to Enlightenment.........
Ommmmmmmmmmmm! Welcome to the Boutika Relaxation Program!
This is where everyone shares at least one tip on how to relax and gain inner peace!!
My Lulu Tip of the Day would have to be music.......*lets dance, and shout! shake your body down to the ground!*.............you get as many CD's from your collection that make you feel good, put them on and just go mad! Dance around your lounge, bedroom, anywhere really!
My personal Essential Collection would have to be
1. Michael Jackson - Rock My World
2. City High - What Would You Do?
3. Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal
4. Britney Spears - Oops! I Did It Again
5. Michael Jackson - Billie Jean/Thriller (depends on my mood!)
6. Amy Studt - Just A Little Girl
7. Pink - Catch 22/Numb/R-E-S-P-E-C-T/Don't Let Me Get Me (all taken from the album M!ssundaztood)
Try it and learn to love it! In summer I danced around the garden in a bikini top and grey hotpants just to show the world I am relaxed!!!!!

ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!
What relaxes me the most is sitting with Kale on my lap, talking with him and smelling his hair. He smells like fresh air, love, and all things good
Since not everyone here is a parent, the other things that gives me inner peace is prayer. For those who believe in a higher power, it leaves you with such a sense of calm.

Strangely enough, chess gives me inner peace. I know, I know... crazy girl as usual.
For non-chess fans, I really relax when I watch animal shows on Animal Planet or Discovery.

I know it's a bit silly, but I bought a square meter of bubble wrap (those plastics with bubbles that comes with breakable item packaging). I pop the bubbles when I want to de-stress.

Bubble wrap is GENIUS! I bow down to whoever invented it
I would have to agree with Elesha, for me prayer is wonderful for calming myself down and getting things into perspective! I also love candles and hot baths with a good book.
If I need to get away from it all, I find it great just taking a walk in the fields where there's no-one around. I always feel better afterwards. Practising my ballet is also brilliant for cheering me up, although playing the piano just irritates the rest of my family...
But best of all is........................................WATCHING COLIN FIRTH DIVE INTO THE LAKE IN PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. Oh yes, this is the answer to all things stressful! Just sit back and oogle with admiration. All hail wet shirts.

My personal ways to relax:
1. taking a bath...wash away everything!
2. reading...i can read everything...from literature like Pride and Prejudice to a cooking menu
3. watching documentary shows...i love documentary shows...too bad i don't have national geography channel
4. sleeping not a very good way but i lack a lot of sleep
5. eating not very good too...but i eat too little
6. listening to music and dance...it's a wonderful way to relax...i love Craberries, Garbage and oldies

The guy who plays Mr Bean, Rowan Atkinson, used to live in a village nearby to me and Fi - he also did the voice for Zazu in The Lion King, (the Disney movie). I bow down before him!
I think that links nicely to another great de-stressing technique - get out your favorite disney movie/musical on video or whatever and spend the whole thing singing along to ALL the songs!!!!! I did that with Beauty and The Beast!!!!
FFFFFUUUUUNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!
