How to Relax
As each year goes by, it seems life moves faster and you are busier and busier. You may find yourself yearning for simpler times, when some of your happiest days were spent doing very little or nothing, just lazing by the pool. It may get harder to find times that are that uncomplicated, now that we have so much technology (cell
phones
, computers). It is rare for people to spend much time alone. But there is something in the human soul that requires silent recharging. If you've been yearning for a little quiet time, here are some ideas for how you can easily find it, and relax.
1
Nature is the ultimate relaxant. If you can't get outside for a walk, or to sit in the sun for ten minutes a day, try looking out the window at a tree, or a bird or a bee flying around. When you are in nature, don't do anything else. Just observe and enjoy.
2
Put yourself somewhere that is relaxing to you. A nice hot bath with a book might be bliss for one person, tickets to a basketball game might be relaxing for the next. Find something that relaxes you and tunes out your rational mind.
3
Meditate. Find a quiet spot in your house or outside and sit on a blanket. Try tuning out everything and letting the sounds flow in and around you. Let your mind chatter on. If you meditate often enough, your mind will learn to be quiet and you will relax.
4
When you are with friends, or at school or at work and in the middle of very fun or busy times, step back and just listen for a minute or two. Let everything happen around you. It will give your body time to take a breather and you might see that you don't have to try so hard to achieve the same affect. You could find an easier rhythm for yourself, with these simple internal breaks for recharging.
5
Spend time with your pet. Your blood pressure goes down when you stroke an animal's fur. Enjoy it.
