Hello, today I want to talk to you
about how I relax
in the hustle and bustle of everyday life it is so so easy to forget
to take time for yourself and just relax
and people are always like well I don't have enough time for that
I just I don't have time for it I'm just working on so many things.
No! You make the time for it.
I am working on so many different projects at any given moment
and I always find the time to relax every day.
Without further ado these are four different ways
in which you can relax as well.
I try to do yoga at least 15 to 20 minutes every single day.
I have an app called YogaStudio and I love using that app
because they have different classes for different levels
the classes, they say how much time is going to take
like literally it says on the bottom, this is going to take you 10 minutes to do
and they have five minute classes, they have 20 minutes classes
they have 30 minute, I think they even have an hour
and it's just so helpful because on some days
when I'm feeling really hectic
and I have so much to do, I just do 10 minutes of yoga
it's just 10 minutes and it's so easy
and I like to close my eyes and not really think about
am I doing this post right? am I getting the stretch?
It's really more about just taking the time to relax
and let my muscles and my body really relax
and find itself during this time.
One thing that really helps me out while I do yoga
is I usually try to do it in a dark or a dimly lit room
and I close my eyes, that way I am super relaxed
and I'm not focused on how I look
but just more about how I feel
currently I am super into the stress relief teas from YogI teas
and I like them because of their flavor
but really you can just get any tea.
I would probably recommend one that does not have caffeine in it
so that you can really relax.
But it's more about the ritual and the process of drinking the tea
and while I'm drinking tea I also like to listen to an audiobook
I just finished reading the shining or you could just read a book if you want.
Right now I just started reading The Burning World by Isaac Marion.
Yeah zombies really relaxing.
I love tea and it really helps me with my process of relaxation.
The next one is a really obvious one and it is meditate.
A lot of people have told me that they would love to meditate
or love to try meditating but that they don't know how to do it
and I'm going to tell you right now, it is super duper simple
and it's not complicated and a lot of people when they think of meditation
they think oh I have like to shave my head become a monk
and dressing robes and just like sit on the floor for like eight hours a day.
No that's not meditating you can, I mean, well it is meditating.
There are different ways to meditate.
I love using calm.com I have their app
and I really love it because they have different themes to choose from
like lakes, water, like flowing rivers
and things like that, like really nice relaxing sounds
and on top of that you can set a timer
so that you can meditate yourself or they have different guided meditations
that will take you through a meditation
whether you are going through anxiety or you want to meditate
because you have any trouble focusing or trouble sleeping
and they have all these different classes to choose from
and it's really simple to use and I love just picking one of the scenes
and then setting the timer for 10-15 minutes
sometimes I even just do five minutes if I just need that quick release.
A lot of people like to sit down to meditate, personally I prefer laying down
I spend enough time during the day sitting and my back usually hurts
so being able to just lay down completely flat on the ground
just allows me to relax a lot better because I'm not really thinking about my back
but again there are different ways to meditate
and it's really just about taking the time to close your eyes maybe sit in a dark room
and take that time to not get interrupted, turn off your phone
turn off your computer and everything
and just take the time to breathe in and breathe out
and you will see that you will feel so much better
even if it's only just for 10 minutes.
Last but not least another one of my favorite ways to relax is by taking a bath
I would suggest taking a bath in a dimly lit bathroom
that way you can really relax and not strain your eyes in the light
much like the making of the tea this is more about the ritual
and the process of making a bath for yourself maybe even make it a bubble bath
use a bath bomb and just the process of filling up the tub
and making sure that it's warm water
and you can even go back to the calm.com app which is what I use.
When I am taking a bath I usually put on calm.com
and I put one of my favorite scenes
and I am just listening to the sounds
and just relaxing not really doing anything
and taking the time to just think about myself
think about my body and how I feel
and just really taking the time to relax.
I am a person who absolutely loves the water.
I love being near water I love being in the water
so bath time is definitely an A+ relaxation time for me.
Those are all of my relaxation tips.
These are some of my favorite ways to relax.
