I do what Jodi does...I go window shopping. That's really fun to me and keeps me busy for a few hours. When I am really stressed, I go to the tennis courts by the river near our house and play. Knocking those balls back and forth is a real stress buster. The only problem is that if Big Daddy is the one I am mad at, I have no partner
My best relaxer that I have been doing for years is once a week I go to a restaurant called Republic in Union Square and sit down with a book or whatever I need to do and have my lunch of veggie wontons and spicy chicken Thai curry. I go by myself and forget the phone, the kid, friends, hubby...I just sit and relax and eat my meal. I've been doing it for sooooo long that everyone knows me. One time a waiter just put the food in front of me without even taking my order! For me relaxing is sometimes just sitting with yourself.
