Relaxation is vital for a healthy mind. — but ever feel like you’ve forgotten how to?
Hi %%First_Name%%,
In today’s world, relaxing is something a lot of people don’t take time out for. However, relaxation is vital to a healthy mind, helping to maintain motivation and interest in our careers, lives, and ourselves.
So if you need to relax and don’t know how to start, here are some tips:
Learn to just say “no” – don’t overburden yourself.
Ask yourself – “If I got hit by a bus tomorrow, would all these things I am worrying about really matter?” – you’d be surprised how many times the answer to this question is “no”.
Put your favourite music on and turn it up! Dance around the lounge room — who cares who’s watching?
Play with your pets.
Go for a drive – we are lucky in New Zealand to have amazing places within a 20 minute drive.
Go to the beach.
Draw a picture – remember how much fun it was as a kid?
Get outside and do some gardening.
Go for a walk in nature.
Make a list of your favourite ways to relax, put them up somewhere you’ll see them, and use them to remind yourself to take some time out. Just relax.
