I think it’s good to know where you feel most relaxed, to know what helps you to feel good about life. We all need some time for ourselves. I often tell my patients that they should schedule into their busy diaries some time for themselves – not time to catch up on chores (well, you need that too probably!), not time to spend with your loved ones (yes, you DO need that too!), but time spent alone. It can be simply an hour one day a week (that’s better than no time at all) and it shouldn’t involve anything elaborate. A walk in the park, sitting watching the world go by for a wee while, listening to music, or reading, or just noticing your environment, really whatever works for you is good.
For each of us particular environments are most relaxing. Some of us prefer the seaside. For others, its a park.
This photo is taken in Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh – plenty of seats there!
Go on, try it. Schedule some YOU time!

Should have added a link to part 1 of this series. I like to relax in a forest or on top of a mountain, away from civilization and in deep touch with nature.
Good suggestion Sugar Mouse – post updated to include link to part 1! Thanks
