@Loreena There are a lot of options:

  • Listening to music mindfully (not doing other things while listening)
  • Watching an uplifting movie.
  • Reading something inspiring. Maybe an autobiography.
  • Making a tea and savoring every sip, feeling the warmth inside the body.
  • I find writing to be relaxing too, for no particular reason, no matter what it is (a journal, seminar or book notes, to do lists, quotes on the whiteboard behind my desk etc.).
  • Yoga ( it's almost impossible to not feel peaceful after doing this, especially because most yoga sequences end with Savasana -> meaning corpse pose, which makes your body surrender totally to the present moment)
    • you might not feel like doing it after an exhausting day but you will definitely feel better after it, not worse
  • Playing mellow, acoustic songs on my guitar

These are all I can think of right now. Might edit when more ideas come up to my mind.

@Loreena

I'm guessing this is purely alternative healing stuff rather than things like meditation?

 

yes...I don't want meditation. So what do you do ?

Wow, what a pleasant delight. Thank you.

If you have more ideas in mind, please do post in future. Thank you

Hot bath w/ Epsom salts, Himalayan salt, baking soda, and a few drops of a good essential oil like ylang-ylang or lavender...

After work, I enjoy golfing. 

Walking 9 or 18 holes is good, relaxing exercise. I play with a few groups of people per round as most people ride these days. We have good conversations, always friendly and sometimes we get competitive. Very peaceful IMO.

Aside from that just enjoying time with my family is peaceful in it's own way. It's like "Yea, I created this" sort of innate peaceful feeling I get.

I forgive myself for having made this day exhausting.

I accept it, totally.

* Preparing meals for next day kinda helps me relax . It is also a good mindfulness practice. 

* Journal and retrospect on the day passed.

If you been active all day there is a great chance your lymph system has been well stimulated (flushes out toxins) and if you were out in the sun a lot even better so that will most definitely make you feel peaceful when you get home after a long day.

@Loreena  The first thing I do is that I go to somewhere with people doing things in common like a park and try to observe each individual and how they are feeling at the moment and why ( from a distance of course:D) I guess it helps to engage my mind in realizing everything happening around us and we ignore it. This might seem kinda weird but it gets the job done:)

Secondly, I play the violin for some time. It brings tremendous  amount of joy and tranquility into my mind. It's like a magic touch. Music is always beneficial in any case but you gotta know what type you get calmed with.

Lastly, drinking tea is a great late night calmer for me it has worked . works and will work after an exhausting day of arduous work.

at the moment the thing i find help full is to just sit in a quite isolated room for sometime (maybe just 10 minuts) and do nothing except focusing on my breathing and trying to find some form of inner peace :)
