I often find it hard to switch off & relax, particularly during the working week. Lately I've been focusing on finding little ways to help myself relax. So far it's working so I thought I'd share some of my relaxing habits with you.
01. Music
Lately I've been finding that music has helped me to relax. I've signed up to Spotify, it's a great app and I have a playlist for pretty much every mood. Recently I've been loving Hozier.
02. Doodling
Some may see this as a waste of time but I find it quite relaxing. If I'm watching TV of an evening, instead of scrolling through my phone with my mind ticking over about this and that, I take a paper & pen and doodle. It's strangely relaxing and helps to drift my mind away from the stresses and strains of life.
03. Baking
I'm really into baking and I find it very therapeutic & also rewarding. I like to research & find new recipes. It's rewarding when something I've never baked before is a success. Again, it's another thing to take my mind of life & go into my own little world.
04. Walking
I've always been a huge walker, I live in a pretty remote village so I'm never stuck for places to take a stroll. I love being out in the fresh air and there's nothing that takes my mind of things more than a long peaceful walk. I always enjoy a walk when it's windy, it's so refreshing to have the wind blow in my face. It makes the saying 'blow the cobwebs away' feel real.
What do you do to relax?
