"Weird" things you find relaxing

Post Reply New Topic

I find driving shopping carts or trolleys is extremely relaxing,my mother usually bribes me to come with her shopping with this.

Rain, birdsong, cheese-and-pepperoni pizza, silence ...

Watching weather radar when there is precipitation.

The whirring of a loud box fan. Getting soaked through on a long rain walk.

Looking at open water. A lake or, better yet, the ocean.

Rain, falling, the sound of the movement of water, sparkly anything- in particular precious gems.
Watching the fan blades from the fan in my room. It's awesome.
ASMR is pretty great too!

My weighted blanket & weighted vests So-no surprise here... stimming-type stuff.

Strong, gusty cold wind. Rainstorms.

High voltage. Not the kind that hurts, the pretty kind that negative ion generators and plasma globes generate. Lightning too, I guess, if it stays up in the sky (cloud-to-cloud).

Repurposing things & bringing unwanted objects back to usefulness.

I find meowing like a cat kind of relaxing as well as hearing cats meow.

As a child, I found ferries relaxing for some reason, but I wasn't allowed to think about ferries to relax and when I suggested it, they said "Um, that relaxes you?", so instead I chose to pictures flowers.

I like ferries too. Is that weird?

Here's mine: you know the smartphone game Hanging With Friends? I find the music and sound effects relaxing. I know that's weird because it's supposed to be hanging sounds LOL.

Certain types of loud music. Other types of loud music is stress inducing.

atmospheric sounding black metal.

Me too! and I have to add: head phones in with some genre of metal (depends on my mood) turned up ridiculously loud. Though loud music I don't like (Country/pop/advertisments on YouTube) makes me feel nauseated.

Being around books, the more the better, also relaxes me, even if I'm not reading them.

I always sleep to the sound of rain falling with distant rumbling of lightning.

Apart from that, sitting on a train and watching the world pass by outside the window. Very relaxing somehow. If i get to sit alone that is...

Skinny Puppy, particularly their mid 80s stuff like "Cleanse, Fold and Manipulate" and "Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse".

Be aware that the album art for "Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse" is NSFW if you decide to look it up.

Sitting upside down on the couch, rubbing my head on pillows, having a pillow on my head.

Looking at pictures of gas stations I have visited in the past. That's probably the least weird of them all!
