Hello!
In this post, I am going to share some ways to relax and handle any stress and anxiety you may have.
1. Light a candle - This is something I have recently started doing. You can get beautiful scented candles at so many different stores, my favourite is Bath & Body Works. I don't light them all the time, just when I'm feeling very stressed or whenever I'm in the mood.
2. Take a hot bath or shower - Put a bath bomb or bubble bath in your tub, get in there or your shower and soak all your troubles away. While you're taking a bath or shower, light a candle or play some music. it will create a more relaxing atmosphere.
3. Read - Reading is very important. Of course you have to read at work and school, like prescribed texts for English but you should make time to read when you're not doing anything else. It doesn't have to be a book. Read an article, newspaper or magazine. It doesn't matter what it is, just read. You will learn something from whatever you read. You may not be a regular reader, which is fine, but I think there is a book our there for everyone. When I read, I forget about everything going on and get transported into the world of the characters I'm reading about.
4. Go for a walk - You're stuck in a classroom or office all day so you need to get some fresh air. Even if you have a lot of homework or things to do, take a break and go outside. Walk around your neighbourhood and look at the different houses, gardens and flowers, go to the park if you live near one and do a few laps. When I'm at the park, I like to go on the swing. Who says it's just for kids?! You don't have to go for a long walk, just walk up and down your street or sit in your garden. just get outside when you can.
5. Write or colour - Write down all your thoughts and feelings in a journal and keep it somewhere safe where no one can see it. A journal is for your eyes only. As a journalist and blogger, writing is my job but I write for pleasure too. Sometimes I write fan-fictions and stories. Colouring is fun too. It may sound silly, little kids colour. They do but now there are colouring books for adults too. It's such a mindless, relaxing thing to do.
6. Put on a face-mask - They help take care of your skin and give you a glow. Face-masks refreshes and soothes you. It's a way to pamper yourself.
7. Breathe - Just sit on your bed, the couch or floor, close your eyes and take slow, deep breaths.
8. Socialize - Spending time with your friends is fun and also important. Whenever you feel down or just want to chat, send a friend a message and talk to them. They will help you and you may even help them.
9. Listen to music - No matter what is happening in your life or how you are feeling, music will make you happy. There are songs that suit every mood and interest. Turn on your favourite CD or songs on your phone and go about your day. If you're alone, you could even have a dance! Music is amazing and therapeutic.
10. Sleep - If you can, take a nap and make sure you get plenty of sleep at night.
I hope you are all having a great week!
