Did you know
that there is a day of the year set aside for relaxing? National Relaxation Day
is celebrated on August 15th. My teens obviously began celebrating
this day long before I heard about it. In fact, I think they celebrate weekly.
If I ask one
of my boys to do something while they’re watching TV or playing a video game,
they respond with, “Ma, I’m trying to relax.” No worries. When its dinner time
and I’m asked what’s for dinner. I respond with, “I’m sorry I didn’t cook yet.
I needed to relax.”
Is there any
among us who could benefit from a relaxed day? How would you choose to relax?
Below are 7 ways to get you started on your day of relaxation.
1. Try Yoga – start your morning
stretches that help relax tense muscles.
2. Take a day off from technology – log off
social media, power down your laptop and reacquaint yourself with silence for
one day.
3. Have a picnic at a park – take advantage
of the warm days of summer and venture out to a local park and take a picnic
meal with you.
4. Watch a movie – watch something funny
or a favorite movie that will take your mind off any worries.
5. Read – read something inspirational.
Here’s another opportunity to head out to a park, find a quiet spot under a
tree and take your mind off reality for a while.
6. Take a bubble bath – absorb yourself in
bubbles and listen to relaxing music.
7. Eat an ice cream cone and don’t worry
about the calories.
