5 Simple Ways to Relax

Life is stressful and we all need a bit of rest and relaxation sometimes. While hopping on a plane and hitting those white sand beaches sounds ideal, not all of us have the time for a vacation. Here's five simple ways to relax with the time you have at home.

1. Read

Grab a book and your beverage of choice and let your mind wander into a good book. It may be tempting to watch television in lieu of reading, but reading allows you to relax completely distraction free.

2. Take a Bath

Only have 30 mins to relax? Turn the lights down low, add some soothing oils or bath salts and take a nice warm bath. Taking a bath allows you to relax both your mind and body and it doesn't have to take long!

3. Aromatherapy

Relax your entire body with warm, soothing aromatherapy or hot/cold therapy. Focus on tension spots like the neck and back for ultimate relaxation. Aromatherapy is great combined with reading or for use after a bath.

4. Take a Nap

Give your body a refresh with a quick nap. Draw the shades or use a sleep mask if the light is a problem and give yourself a quick 20-minute nap. You will wake feeling refreshed and relaxed, just make sure you don't oversleep!

5. Do Yoga

Take some time out of your day to do some yoga and relax your body. Yoga doesn't have to be strenuous or difficult. If you're new to yoga try a 20-minute beginners lesson online. If you're a yoga junkie hit a short class to get your mind and body relaxed. Make sure you have your yoga towel!
