It definitely works!
I am getting ready for my second marathon and above all, getting used to "prolonged effort".......................such as TRANSLATING very long files))

I find work relaxing. I only get stressed when I haven't got any translations to do.

| Essential Relaxation | Jan 31, 2010 |
I do sports to relax: I mainly play golf and over the winter do aquajogging and power walking while waiting for the snow to clear. I took up golf a while ago as a remedy for migraines. Yes, it worked and it still does - no explanation as to why. Simply clears the cobwebs.

I really enjoy running too - I always get a huge endorphin rush after a good run and any stress drops away.
@Catriona: Aquajogging! Sounds interesting. Is it like jogging but in a pool?

| don't get stressed | Jan 31, 2010 |
Don't let a day of translating stress you out. I've done a few more stressful things
If it still is getting to you, try wearing a bathrobe while translating, drink a lot of tea and listen to appropriate music.

And just one more small stitch ..

Photography and painting can be relaxed.
However, swimming sounds also good!

Biking does it for me. I always return home feeling better than when I left.

I am totally with you! And if I need to move, I prefer slow moves of tai chi. What else? If I have time, I go for a day or two to the mountains.

| I agree with Tom | Jun 8, 2010 |
I get very nervous when I have a day off! That can't be very healthy tho...
So, I will:
- write
- read
- play music/listen to music
- meet a friend for a cup of coffee
- go to a museum
- go to the cinema
I find the last option the most rewarding to unwind.
