I find going for an intense run is really relaxing in the hours following the run. Doing it early in the morning also helps you get more prepared for the day ahead. Unfortunately, I find it hard to consistently keep up early morning runs. The snooze button on my alarm always gets the better of me

I also fully agree with you on the benefits of green tea. Whilst I don’t fully avoid coffee I try to limit my intake to 2 or 3 cups per day. The rest of the time I drink green tea. I find it so much more relaxing. Drinking coffee every 2 or 3 hours felt good at first but then led to me feeling excessive tired towards the end of the day.

@ Mr Muggles: You should really try magnesium you could be amazed at just how effective it will be, try 200mg of Citrate with a Herbal tea to help absorb it. Stopping caffeine is a good choice, I limit my intake to breakfast and occasionally I will have a espresso with Lunch. High quality Green Tea is the bomb for relaxation!

Great post! It answered some of the questions I had. I already take Omega3, but I guess that I should take some magnesium too. And yep, tea is good, I should take more. And I already stopped coffee, and it does help me to stay more focused and calm.

Thanks Chris. Enjoyed reading that post. Personally I love the escapism that comes from running (preferably on a beach or outside in clean air). Can’t beat it for making problems not seem so big and also coming up with positive feelings and thoughts. I could never put a value on the runs I’ve been on in my life. I often say to my mates ‘You can’t buy that’ after getting back from a run in a great place and its true.

Also you really feel like you earn your dinner or a nice cold beer (or more – when I was drinking!!). I’m off to the beach in 2 days and can’t wait to get my gear on again.

Cheers

@ Methuselah: Great recommendation with the “Life of Pi” I have seen it at book shops and always considered picking it up, after your heads up I will definitely make it my next read. Also if you didn’t see my reply to your question @ MDA’s post yesterday:

For canned pumpkin in the UK check Waitrose they sell it in the canned/cooking section its libby’s brand (the famous american one) and goes for £1.19 a can great value as I get 2 servings from each one. Half a can runs at about 60 calories and 8g of carbs and loads of fiber!

@ Yegin: Thanks for posting, a hobby is essential to keep our minds at peace, I find its great to always try and learn new things this keeps our mind fresh and makes us likely to find something we love!

It’s good that you mention reading Chris – this is not as often cited as a good way to relax. I find that escapism can sometimes be the key to gaining relaxation from a book. With this in mind, I can recommend a couple of books for those who have not already read them:

‘Life of Pi’ by Yann Martel
‘Touching the Void’ by Joe Simpson

Both books take you out of the modern world and see the main characters battling with more elemental problems. Very different books, but both providing escapism in their own way. And both are a great read (IMHO!)
