Tips How to Take Some Time Out- Relax

If you want to relax, watch the clouds pass by if you’re laying on the grass, or sit in front of the creek; just doing nothing and having those still moments is what really rejuvenates the body.

Everyone is busy with his own daily schedule, working for a job to survive, study in order to achieve good academic result and homemakers busy with household chores, baby sitting.

You have a lengthy to do list that you could hardly accomplish half of them throughout the day.

You feel frustrated, disappointed and stress out because things are always going the wrong way.

Your daily tasks and responsibilities are never ending, it never will either !

You are not alone…

No matter how busy you are, it is crucial that you need to take some time out to :

• recharge your energy
• rejuvenate your body
• relax your mind and soul

From home to office, from home to school, work is never done because your boss / teacher only demand for more sales/academic results and obligation to accomplish every tasks given.

You barely had any room to breathe for a second.

You are too busy with your personal schedule that you don’t have any spare time for your family or even yourself.

Now, it is time to replenish your needs before you burnt out your brain.

Here are some useful tips how to take some time out to relax

# 1 – Enjoy a Drink

Order a soothing, cool drink or a cup of warm tea/coffee/cocoa . Better still, make your own drink at home.

Sit down on a sofa,  try to relax yourself, read your favorite book, magazine but not the newspaper. Don’t fret yourself over the daily news because you had enough plate of it at work.

#2- Mini vacation

Plan for a mini vacation trip to nearby places or out-station.

You don’t have to go oversea vacation which is expensive and tiring after a long trip.

You can save money on short distance trip and enjoy the relaxation of the facilities provided.

Look up at budget vacation websites, book the vacation package online to save the hassle of driving and getting stuck in the traffic jam.

Always compare the prices and facilities before deciding where to go for your vacation.

Make sure that transportation is provided ( tour bus- so that you don’t have to drive, time to sleep during the journey)

#3- Listen to Music

If you can’t apply for a leave from your job, why not enjoy a good dance at the disco, aerobic exercise, enroll yourself for a dance lesson or simply on the Home theatre system / radio and dance to your favorite music!

This is the best way to release your stress which will help you to enlighten your mood.

Music in your ears is better than your boss lectures.

#4- Brisk walk

A morning or evening brisk walk is essential.

A daily walk of 20 minutes will help you to relax your mind and body.

Breathe in the fresh air.

Enjoy outdoor activities such as bird watching, the view of flower beds, kids playing, people cycling, sunrise, sunset.

Give your tired eyes a break from electronic gadgets.

#5- Watch a short video

If your internet speed is fast, no disconnection, you might as well watch a short film, movie or variety show to entertain yourself.

Sit down on the couch, get some healthy snacks and drinks.

Do enjoy a good show to relax yourself.

A comedy video would be better to keep yourself happy.
