I know these mountains, I forget their exact name... but they are near Lake Louise in Alberta Canada. We drive by this exact place to get there. Actually I believe it is on our drive towards Banff.


Here's my picture from the car. ~Smile.


I love Canada. Mountains from the heavens, for sure.

It's very, very, very uncomfortable for me Same for pools. I love swimming but after a while they scare me

and baths are just wrong

lay in a hammock in the early evening sun , put on some miles davis some mellow kind of jazz. that relaxes me every time

I can't stand baths. First of all, my body doesn't react very well to prolonged heat. I can't deal with baths, saunas, hot tubs, sun bathing, etc (hence I will probably live in Upstate NY forever).Second of all, I am not into sitting in my own filth.

To relax, I like to find a comedic television program. Laughter always relaxes me.

according to my psychology textbook.

If you want physical relaxation you should do some mental effort.

If you want mental relaxation you should do some physical effort.

The extended heat thing I can understand, but if your body at any given time is dirty enough that bathing it would produce a vat of "filth," then you've got bigger issues than mere relaxation challenges.

Seriously, though... I get the gist of what you're saying. I know people who quickly shower to get clean and then soak in a tub to relax.

I LOVE long, hot baths! A nice tub has actually been the chief selling feature in certain places I've rented.

well u must be pretty dirty, since i bath daily there's not much dirt 2 sit in besides halfway through i let the "dirty" water out and put more in
dirt is all around us that's far more worse than taking a bath and u can't live in a bubble

So they're against baths! Live and let live

there are many things i do depending on my mood to relax: take a long hot steamy shower with my husband , listen to my fave. music, read a great book, take a nap, go for a morning walk before it gets too hot outside. watch an old classic movie, or classic tv shows like i love lucy, or golden girls . go have a massage, hair done, nails, etc....or just go to the beach and sit there and watch the power of the mighty waves crashing.....

Honestly, using conscious relaxation techniques has always worked wonders for me.
