what do you do to relax??

We used to turn to our hobbies when we needed a break from our work, but now that we've have turned our hobby into a business, what do you do to take a break from the hobby-turned-business?

Since you make candles, enjoy your craft! Draw a warm bath, use an awesome bath soak, set the mood with a couple of candles, grab your favorite book...and wa-la! You're own little break from work :)

Enjoy!

The kids, dog and I just took a walk around the neighborhood. It's so nice outside right now and it's a great break to get away from the computer and tv!

I go out in the woods and play the fiddle and commune with nature. Or drink beer and listen to Viking Metal.

yoga, meditate, listen to music, journal, go for a walk or workout, call a friend.

I drink some tea while watching a series or movie, walk, or read a book.

Put our shop in vacation mode and take a vacation! Preferably somewhere without cell phone or internet service!

[PoofyDove]

Yoga or a long walk works wonders for me :)
But I also like a good beer!

Read, watch TV/movies (but I also do that while crocheting), watching my husband and toddler run around the yard. We will be going apple picking in a couple weeks.

I read. Would love to have some wine too. But I'm pregnant so thats a no-no for a little while longer. Love spending time with my husband and boys too, although that's not always relaxing!

Crafting and Etsy; and working my other online store! This is my relaxation, and hobby! :-)

Video games or my guitar. Video games have always been a fun thing for me, and my guitar only gets serious when I'm helping a band. Otherwise, I whip out my acoustic to play some classical tunes. :D

I do karate, it's a great stress reliever.

I enjoy a nice glass of wine sometimes, but i also enjoy having time with my boyfriend Dan, who is really supportive of my etsy business. We go for walks, go out to dinner ( we love thai!) we also have our favorite tea shop in down town portland that we go to on sundays ( not every sunday, but we are going tomorrow) and we drink tea and listen to poetry ( they have an open mic night) it is really relaxing and a good way to end the week :)
