A good one is a half hour sit-com. Like The Simpsons, or Big Bang Theory. Whatever you prefer. Take a few minutes to slow your brain down, put on a sit-com or cartoon and try to relax. When the shows over, get back to it. I like this way because it times itself, I can't just add five more minutes, the shows over.
I like this idea. However, I practice drawing and usually have some show in the background. But its pretty relaxing all over if I'm actually in the mood to do that.
problem is I only like media that makes you think, not in a deep way, but in an intriguing fantasy way. And it doesn't help much when I try to get my mind off of things and find Gravity Falls 11 years late.
