Geminis and Relaxing
lol Joanie I find it super hard to relax as well!. My leo sun flatmate said that she always feels as though I cant relax, even if im sitting down, she said she feels like a 'nervous' energy surrounding me lol. Its true. I am also high strung and like you my 'relaxing' involved DOING things. I find it soooo hard to just sit in one spot and not move and just be calm. I HAVE TO BE doing something playing with something in my hands or shaking my foot or something! I have a taurus sun best friend and gosh, she can sit in the SAME spot for HOOURRRSSSSS on end and not move and she LOVES IT! lol.
My form of relaxing is when I sleep... when I FINALLY fall asleep otherwise to be honest I never really relax. If im laying on the couch watching tv "relaxing" I can only do that for so long until I'll think of something and im like OH!! and i'll go get up and do it. Id say my idea of relaxing is doing small activities because im deffinately not the type to just sit in one spot and relax.
I recently tried to get into meditating... that didnt go very far. As usual, I started off thinking YEAH!! Im so excited something new!! I cant wait to try it out im going to stick to it no matter what!!... I did it two days in a row (about 3 weeks ago) and havent tried again... lol 😢 I really want to keep on it though because I did a lot of research on it and honestly I think it would be SUPER beneficial for me as a gemini because of all the mental energy going on. You should give it a shot and try and keep to it, unlike others.. (me) haha.

I was just wondering... do any of you have problems relaxing? I seem to be highly strung and it's rare when I don't have anything to do or am just chilling out. My version of chilling out are little scheduled breaks wherein I regroup but only because i'm overwhelmed of the multitude of things that I have to do. It seems like there's an underlying fear of being bored and I have to queue up all these activities to keep me and my brain preoccupied. And since our sign is a wiz at being self-entertaining, the list is endless but it's a list nonetheless.
Your thoughts?
Well I am on one of those "I don't feel like hanging out with anyone modes". I think it is starting to pass though. The thing with Geminis and most of the air signs is that we will hang out for a while then we retreat to ourselves. I have done this throughout my life over and over. Yes we prefer absolute chaos to boredom. I think we are actually at our best during chaos because we are chaotic.click to expand
Yeah, I get what you mean. I make a public appearance now and then, make sure it's memorable and then resume my solitary, processing thing in private.
The chaos thing -- haha, that's true. When I only have one thing that needs to get done, I actually procrastinate on it. It's like -- just this one? Bah, not a challenge. But when I've got multiple things that have to get done all at the same time, my juggling and multi-tasking expertise comes out.

LOL, I'm with you. That's why I take naps all the time. I feel like the tasmanian devil whirling around and that just tires me out so naps are a big thing for me. It's hard for me to fall asleep -- bedtime is usually 2am to 3am -- and I can't sleep past 9am. Ugh.
I do try meditating sometimes but even that I'll multitask haha. I'll meditate but end up falling asleep so that nap and meditation are done simultaneously. I usually say though that if there is a message that the universe wants to send to me, to send it in my dream (see? i'm already assuming I'll fall asleep) and usually it does happen that way because I'm receptive to the message. I have a knack for interpreting dreams so it works for me.
We should learn how to RELAX!!!!!

i meditate while falling asleep with a chakra CD or some sort of soothing music, like nature sounds. otherwise, i'm with you... doing it while awake is a no-go for me too. i wake up very refreshed every morning. i got the idea from ppl learning a new language while listening to it in their sleep. lol! if i don't do it every night, i'm loaded with nervous energy all day long...

Oooh... NLPs -- neuro linguistic programming. I have tried that and it works! At least, it does get me to sleep...the minute the speaker counts to 10 backwards, i'm out like a light, haha. There's a debate though if it works in your sleep or not so at least you have to hear the entire thing once so you know what it's saying and then it gets reinforced if you fall asleep.
So many NLPs I want to try, lol -- learn a new language, eat better, quit bad habits, attract the right person, yadayadayada -- but see? That kind of defeats the purpose of sleep/relaxing because even then, I want to do something in my sleep, lol.
