Today, we're often too busy with work, family, and life to take care of ourselves. We wear many hats, leading to stress and exhaustion. But there are ways to ease this stress.
For me, setting aside time for myself each week makes a big difference. I enjoy this "My Time" and sometimes involve my family too. This helps us all feel less stressed.
1.) Try to live Simply
2.) Take a nice long scenic walk, perhaps the beach or the lake. (Even invite a friend)
3.) Put on your favorite music, turn it up loud and dance
4.) Light up your electric simmering (aroma) pot with a softly scented aroma. This allows your senses to relax, thus allowing you to relax. Then curl up on the sofa with a good book
5.) Sink into your tub for a long, luxurious soak at the end of the day. Light a few nicely scented candles, turn off the lights and let the glow and scent of the candle relax your mind, body and soul.
6.) Splurge just a little and go in for a professional massage at your local day spa
7.) Go have a manicure and pedicure done. (And I truly suggest the Spa Pedicure ohh la la!)
8.) How about your favorite movie? You know the one that just made you laugh, cry and smile.
9.) Another great idea is your local Coffee Stop. This is especially nice if it has a bookstore inside. Grab a cup of coffee or cappuccino and a magazine and just relax with the latest Hollywood gossip or a wonderful romance book
10.) Got a best or very dear friend you haven t talked to in a while? Pick up the phone and call her and reconnect.
11) The number one Stress Reliever: Take a Vacation!!!
