I need a mindless break right now. I'm not tired, but I'm just beat mentally. What do you guys do when you need mindless breaks?

Play solitare. Or I play games like Scene It. c:

Playing video games seems to be pretty mindless now that I have been doing it for so long. More like a low mental functionality in so many words.

I forgot about games. . . that's how burnt out I am right now. I forgot about games **slaps forehead**
Cool. keep 'em comin' guys.

drugs & men, duh

Colour, with wax crayons.

colouring with markers, watch funny but plotless movies, watch my boyfriend play video games.... or I watch dubbed anime...

it depends on my mood. i go from watching brain fluff tv, to clouring or drawing pictures, to playing video games *which I really want to do but cant cuz my dad has blocked an why to reach them!* to playing on my computor

Usually just wander aimlessly on the internet - like, go surfing through wikipedia articles or look up random art that you know you'll never comment on.

I've been getting into Mahjong tiles as a relaxer - I just click whatever matches, don't really care if I loose.

Honestly, I feel like most of my time on the internet is mindless.

i eat a sushi. it calms me. a lot.

I turn on either The Twilight Zone, or some science program and do extreme SuDoKu puzzles. It keeps me occupied, but lets my mind wander where it wants.

Hahaha, I color with crayons too. =D
Or doodle monsters, watch TV, do little crafts, Google animal pictures or what have you.

lol, mine is a nice LONGGGGG nappy time :P i think naps make me refreshed. and when im done, i get on the internet.but if it happens again, i go on internet and youtube :P ARBY 'N The Chief

Tetris on Mene. =3

i'll watch a really long movie, altho i don't really pay attention to it. while i do that, i usually draw or play on my DS.

Ugh, I know what you mean. I generally plug in an audio book and play games on Mene XD

I either play games, or watch a beloved film I've seen a million times over.
Like Pride and Prejudice (the BBC version) I've seen (and read) it so many times, I don't need to follow the story anymore, I can just switch off and look at the pretty costumes and scenery.
*le sigh*

Coloring seems popular. So does internet and games on here. Hmmmm, there was a girl on my dorm who was CONSTANTLY coloring and I guess that was why. I can see how that'd be mindless and sorta soothing.

usually mindless TV or hours surfing random google images :3

I go feed the geese at a park not far from here.
They are so tame that they will eat seed from the palm of your hand.

:heart:

Listen to music. Bake cookies, cake, cupcakes, brownies, and anything else. I color from time to time with watercolors, and different pencils and pastels, also I paint. I have my piano and I'm thankful for that, and I usually go on YouTube to find out how to play a song I like that I know I want to learn. Like right now I'm learning "How to Save a Life." I have it down but I'm searching for something I could put between so I don't have to sing every time I play it.

I refer to my sister until she realizes what I'm doing and gets po'd at me.

A truly mindless activity: sitting in total silence, blankly staring at nothing.

No thinking. No "doing". A completely stilled mind. I suppose most people
would call it meditation, but I do not use the term because of the spiritual
connotations. Any random thoughts that stray, I ignore and they die off.

As I see it, coloring (and the like) engages the mind and therefore isn't
mind-less. You're using your mind and therefore generating thoughts:
"Let's color this red" or "now I add the sugar". The activity may not
challenge your intellect, but still...

Your mind is busy; you are not mind-less.

Smoke a cigarette. o3o

It gets me going somehow.

Try to doodle on a page with no real image intended in the end... kinda a way to just talk through doogles without thinking... but if you CANNOT stop thoughts, write them down. You'll feel better with the thoughts out of your head then in there. :|
