What are your favourite relaxation techniques?

What are your favourite relaxation techniques?

I am just pondering on what relaxation techniques I like and I thought I would post it up here for some discussion and to see what others like as this may be useful for me or others.

I have had a rough weekend and anxiety has been quite heightened but today I have chosen to try and relax even though difficult. For me, I have been wanting to go and get a massage for a few months and now that I'm working want to book one in - so hopefully I think it will help me relax and should also help with my circulation fingers crossed.

I also like to just sit and have a 'peaceful' tea as I call it just being totally present and mindful while drinking my tea (I like English breakfast or Australian Afternoon).

Would love to hear what others enjoy!

I enjoy meditation every night even though I get too relaxed and fall asleep - usually a guided beach meditation.
