I mean, I don’t ever feel fully relaxed unless I’m on a sun lounger around a pool in 30° heat. However, some small things allow me to take a breather and slow my heart rate down for a little while.
Here they are!
- A bubble bath. There’s not much better than sinking into a scolding tub filled with rose smelling bubbles and lying there becoming wrinkly.
- Watching Netflix. Now, some people find rom-coms fun and relaxing. However, I love a documentary about a serial killer or a series about a murderer! Each to their own I suppose…
- Baking. I’m not saying I’m good at it, but I like the methodical way you have to follow the instructions. Oh, and I like licking the mixture out of the bowl too.
- Taking the dog for a walk. I don’t do this often enough because I don’t like going out on my own. But if I go with a friend, I love to smell the fresh crisp air and awkwardly smile at strangers as you pass them!
- My bed. My bed can sometimes be the place where I panic the most. However, if I feel really stressed or exhausted, I know that I will be accepted with open arms into the squishy and satisfying mattress.
And there’s my 5 ways to relax. I have written these down so I can come back to this and remind myself to relax during or after a stressful situation. Lets hope it works!
