Good gods that is good, thank you! I'm currently reading a book called Berlin Noir, those 3 tabs suited it all perfectly. Makes me feel like I should have a red dressing gown on while smoking a pipe.

These videos.
The relaxing, soothing voice, the great guitar gear being shown.
It's like the best meditation mantra in the world.

I like shaving. I like it a lot. But what I absolutely love is taking my time with it. Right after a shower, just chilling like a villain in my bathrobe and stuff. I whip out the premium foam and my best razor. I apply some hot water to the blade and just let it slide on my skin, making me feel even warmer. I usually wrap up with some ice cold water, just for kicks.

Also, another great way for me to lose my worries is going to a sauna. Doesn't really matter which kind, but I'll prefer wood-heated over electric any day.

And then there's these.

I recently had what, for the sake of appearing normal, I am going to call a minor outburst over the current stagnation of my life and the frustration of those hopes that it was going to get moving. I went out just so I could stand on a bridge and look out at the river. I guess its fairly common to find water relaxing or what have you but when you think about it there is no reason the stuff ought to be seen in this way, it can be dangerous.

While im on I'll just add this, a passing motorist actually stopped to ask if I was alright, which was decent of him..I have to wonder if I appeared to have been attempting suicide or something, I had actually only gone there to be near the water not drown in it.

I dunno why but deep vibrations make me melt. I'm talking about the kind you get when someone is, say, jogging on a treadmill a few rooms away. You can't hear anything except the deep thumping and you can feel it through the walls.

Obviously not when its enough to make the walls shake and you can actually hear the footfalls, but every few days in the evening, I can feel the thumps as someone runs on a treadmill (or jogs on the spot, not sure which).

Cool showers,
the sound of rain,
and having my hair stroked.

Long walks in the dead of night. The scent of wet, freshly cut timber. Listening to Gary Moore, Hendrix, Clapton, SRV, Rush, Zeppelin.. All or any combination of these is normally enough to lighten my mood and relax.

There is only one external thing that can soothe me... and that is because it will completely mesmorise me... and that is light displays/fireworks. It completely distracts me... and I can't do anything else!

I really like a certain smell on my hands, but I don't know what causes it. I think I get it sometimes when I drive my car alot, so maybe it's something in the steering wheel.

Tom Waits. Which is weird because it sounds like his throat needs soothing.
It must be genetic, he calms my baby down too...like instantly.

The sound of trains. We had a house right across from train tracks when I was a kid, and now whenever I hear trains(especially if it's a muffled sound of trains) I get reaally calm and tired.

OR ALL THREE AT ONCE.
Piggybacking off of Neonsword here...
Repeatedly watching the Hiimdaisy persona 4 dub.
And Kiyeri, the game gets worse.
A lot worse.

Having my hair washed at a salon. Head massages are *amazing,* and the feeling of water running over my head is just nice for some reason.

People playing with my hair.

Stroking...ruffling...cutting (even though I don't get haircuts since I like having long hair)

Yeah, I'm manly.

When I have a huge headache I like to take extremely hot showers for temporary relief. I never figured out how that works tbh.

Hot head + really hot shower = Relief... somehow
I do this too, so you're not alone! Only, for me, I do it when anything is ever wrong with me. xD Headaches, time of the month pains, fever, anything.

Anyway, to go along with this, when I'm really stressed and I need to relax and feel better I enjoy a good meditation session. .... In the shower. >.> Yeah. I don't know. Somehow I feel like the sound of the shower keeps things from distracting me.

I also enjoy nice, long drives. I think it stems from, as a kid every time I went in the car I'd always have my headphones and CD player. So now I enjoy just driving around and listening to music. Too bad gas costs so much....

I also enjoy having people play with my hands. >.>; Like, very lightly tracing the fold lines and what not. My hands are ridiculously sensitive, so it feels wonderful to me.
Hot showers are great & I have to second the long drives, so very peaceful, but I grew up in a car driving back & forth across the country. I have found that giving back massages to others to be very relaxing, I just kinda zone out.....

Not weird, but I spray a bit of the perfume my mother used to wear when I was a kid.

Back then, for some reason, I didn't recognize her by the way she looked but rather the way she smelled. I very clearly remember trying to find her in the super market by following the smell of that perfume.

Lying on my back with one hand behind my head and the other throwing a ball straight up and catching it just before it hits my face. I could do that for hours. Bonus points if done with one leg straight and the other with a raised knee.
