The world is a busy place these days, we're all guilty of getting wrapped up in the hustle & bustle and often forget to take time out for ourselves. It's important to schedule time within your week to relax & forget about whatever stresses and strains you have on your mind.Today I'm going to share a few ways I like to relax.
01. Being outdoors
I find being outdoors extremely refreshing and relaxing. I live in the countryside so it's not hard for me to go for a walk and be completely in the middle of nowhere with nothing but nature surrounding me. Even if you live in the middle of a city it's still not that hard to relax outdoors. Whenever I visit a city I find it quite nice to take a back seat in a park and watch the hustle and bustle of the world go by.
02. Reading/Listening to music
Although I'm not a huge reader of books, I like to read magazines. If I'm travelling somewhere or spending the day at the same place I will usually take a magazine along with me to read & help me relax. Listening to music also lifts my mood, sometimes I listen to my usual playlists but sometimes I play calming sounds (Spa like music) to help relax myself before bed.
03. Baking
Some may see this as not being a relaxing or enjoyable thing to do but I love baking! I find that it completely distracts my mind from any worries I have. It keeps me busy for a good few hours and you obviously get a yummy result! Once you get to grips with things, baking isn't that hard at all.
04. Having a bath
I think everybody can agree, a perfect way to relax after a long day is with a nice hot bath. I like to use a Lush bath bomb or bubble bar in the bath to give it a more luxurious feel. This may not always relax your mind but it will certainly relax your muscles.
05. Spending quiet time alone
Sometimes, I just like to lie in bed alone in silence. This may sound strange but it's so relaxing, it's nice to just lie down and appreciate silence.
What's your number 1 way to relax?
