After a long day, my favorite way to unwind is by going running. Not exactly the most relaxing activity, granted, but I always imagine I'm sweating out all the things weighing on my mind.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My favorite way to unwind is to go for a walk with my husband and the dog at the end of the working day, then we go to our local health club for a swim and to sit by the pool and read for a while.
Typically, I don't get to unwind after a day at work.
Running clears my mind, and gives me a reason to get out of bed in the morning.
Honestly, I've always had difficulty relaxing, unwinding and going to bed - that kind of stuff.
Running is a great way to relieve stress and clear the mind.
Running is a way for me to relax. With one hour of intense running, I can get a lot of physical exercise. I can relax my body. I feel a tension in my muscles when I don't run. In that sense, I need to get out a few times a week in order to do my work as a scientist, which involves a lot of sitting still.
There's not much time to unwind, but you know what, it's because I love what I do. I look forward to the season. I look forward to playing games. It doesn't ever feel like work.
Even though running is work for me, I always miss it if I take a break. A lot of people find running relaxing, but I can never switch off from timing and competing against myself.
Running started as a way of relaxing. It's the only time I have to myself. No phones or e-mails or faxes.
I like to unwind by doing nothing. If I do get a day, I just like to vegetate and laze around.
