Therapeutic for me means relaxing and being grounded...
Taking time alone in nature listening, observing, and just being as one with my surroundings. I am not talking a park or in the back yard. I mean the wilderness with no other people within yelling distance. I am very blessed to have grown up in that type of environment so it is very therapeutic for me. |
Sometimes the wind in my face is all I need to recharge and carry on.

Great thread-I'm getting ideas.
For me: "Fiddling around"-detail cleaning the kitchen, bathrooms, even my car. The more strenuous, the better. Washing dishes by hand, even though I have a dishwasher. I think it's the feel of suds and warm water, and the definite beginning and ending of the task. Throwing things out. Today, in fact, I've been feeling unsettled for some reason and I purged a big box of papers. Listening to music and doing genealogy, even if it's just examining hints. Swimming or yoga, or running |
great topic!
I always have a running "project." right now its a restoration/rebuild of an old honda 250r racing three wheeler... long motorcycle rides... weekend camping trips, long hikes, picnics, fishing, bon fires, loud music with good friends... |
endorphins........

Stepping into the silence of the crisp, cool night air, under a sky of stars, while the rest of the world is asleep.
|
Classical music or just some plain ol silence. A lot of the times during the 5 hour drive to Seattle from Eugene, it would be just the road noise and wind to keep me company.
|
I find the sounds and smells of the ocean therapeutic. Something about it's vastness makes my troubles less overwhelming.
|
Sometimes, just watching some crap tv.
|
Working on crafts. Laying on Him and listening to His heartbeat. Like CCB, watching TV. Love People's Court and Judge Milian.
|
Walking the dogs, riding a horse, relaxing on the beach staring at the ocean, waterfalls, outdoors... I find them all therapeutic....
|
Thinking about the things and people for which I'm grateful.

Running my fingers through her luscious, long strawberry blonde hair. Her hair is a cascade of sunshine.

stepping out of the pool, relaxing on chaise with a good James Patterson book!
I'm heading there soon! |
The ocean
Laughing Jet boating Music |
The last 25 miles or so driving to the coast. The way the old oaks and pine trees smell, there is something so peaceful about them. Like their hiding some long forgotten secrets. |

charging up my altar bottomspace/subspace photography crocheting long drives |
These days, an old movie.Sleep is good... hot tubs,yeah.

As others have stated it depends on the mood.
If I am snorting mad then weeding the flowerbeds. Several years ago when my longtime ex and I broke up I actually won "yard of the month" in my subdivision. (Every cloud....) When stressed I like to read autobiographies or walk in the woods. Meeting up with friends who like to laugh helps as well. If possible (and it rarely seems possible anymore) a long drive at night with the sunroof open. A couple of hours on the road, get to the next town, grab a bite at a diner (helloooo, Waffle House) in the wee hours, then head back home. Katniss~~ |
Sleep but that is rare these days.

My silky
Getting tasks done The ocean Sunsets Comforter right out of the dryer Someone being kind and caring Wearing black pants or dark jeans Someone being protective Someone being dominant in the right way Black pajama bottoms and a black tank top Comedy on satellite radio Organized desk Going out to dinner Going to the movies Wearing black dress and black high heels Getting my hair done Putting on my makeup Eating ice cream or frozen yogurt |
My pups
Campfires Mowing Water..sitting by, in, near water Fishing Music Quiet country nights Working out...which I haven't been able to do in a while Watching the little people learn and experience new things Time with friends The mountains Watching critters and birds |
Sorting any built up of clutter and tossing or donating!
|
Meditation
Taking a walk up this country road when the stars are all out. Baby animals. Mountain biking. Camping. Being as CLOSE to the Earth as possible. Finding like minds that knock your socks off. Being given another day to serve. Helping others. Making new friends near and far. Doing my daily mantras first thing in the morning. Finding my center core and staying there. |
