How to learn to relax
It made me
a happier person. 
"It took me a long time to hit on the right strategy for me but I kept at it."
How I did it: After trying any number of things in an effort to learn to relax, I was fortunate to find a fit in yoga. For me, yoga calms my mind and relaxes my body like nothing else I've tried.
Lessons & tips: My tip is to keep trying new strategies, even things you might never have considered in the past. There is not one thing that will work for everyone.
Resources: I used the internet and the public library to inform myself about my choices when I was forming my strategy.

I’ve been able to start this without even knowing it. I find myself being able to stay still or just sit in one place for longer than 5min, without even telling myself to try and relax.

Bellydancing, meditation, yoga, controlled breathing, lying in a dark room listening to music with a beverage of some kind.
These are my ideas. Biggest problem is I never allow myself time to relax.

Hobbies.

Rediscovering my `good old hobby` which was bellydancing lowered my level of stress. I`m slowly learning not to think about my work/inventing problems all the time and focus on some more relaxing things. I`ve signed up for the upcoming bellydance worshops – March 7 & 8th – perspective of 4 hours with arabian music and REALLY fantastic, optimistic girls from my group makes me smile everytime I think about it:) Just can`t wait for the weekend!

Relax already, it's fun!

I still hope to be able to do this every day. I want to be able to relax and read my book for more then 10min or be still for more then 5min… but most of all I wish I could relax enough to sleep more then 3hrs. I can’t take the sleeping pills anymore, so I need to know how to relax real soon or life will become hard.

I told myself that I would take a lunch break everyday a full hour. Today I could not make myself relax enough in order to sit and read my book for an hour! I want to relax and learn how to enjoy time/ life/ not always feel that I have to be doing something.
Things to try, learn

Meditation, play piano/guitar, listen to music. Get a “space” sorted out. Maybe try some yoga/tai chi.

I had a hard time doing this last night. I started feeling like I did when I would get panic attacks… but I did not let it consume me.
