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 :lol: 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.

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.
