“In fact, I make relaxing a lifestyle that which I can live and apply daily.”
Here I am un-showered at 4pm on a Sunday afternoon, writing at my little desk as I wear a tee shirt and boxers. In fact I’m still wearing the same outfit I put on last night to go to sleep in and you know what, it feels priceless. Sunday can be one of my favorite days despite of it leading to the next day(work day), it is a time where I can just live simple and be carefree. I will probably cook out later tonight and make some of my favorite burgers ever, “Bubba Burgers” for my wife and I. I planned that today is going to be at the utmost of simplicity.
Pick a relaxing point
I am a firm believer in a dynamic schedule(meaning always changing), I’m not one to do something the same two times in a row, that’s boring for me but I think that having at least one day to re-cooperate for the coming work week is very important. If you don’t have a relaxing point, you need to get one. Pick a relaxing point that works for your schedule, whether it be a full weekend or just a certain day of the week. My day happens to be today. The importance of taking a break has tons of benefits, one of them including keeping your sanity.
Take a trip to your very own living room
I take relaxing to a whole other level, as you noticed with my current dressing attire. In fact, I make relaxing a lifestyle that which I can live and apply daily. You see people think that to truly relax you have to be on vacation or outside of your natural elements but I very much disagree with that. A relaxing point can be anywhere, you don’t have to be on the beach in Maui, you can be in your very own living room.
Catching your breath
Taking a break is free to do and priceless to you all at the same time. Its your chance to be 100% you, free from the restraints of society and the bombarding stresses of life. Its a time to live in the now and just breathe, catch your breath cause you will need it for the coming work days. Your not a machine so quit acting like one. Even The Terminator had time to rest, hence the “Ill be back”. If you have been working a strict 8 hours a day for 40 hours this week, well how bout take time and relax today.
Some Benefits of taking a break:
- Slows you down that arduous schedule
- It makes you be able to be yourself
- Its takes you out of that gotta be in control mode
- It makes you feel really good, well rested and ready to take on the coming week
Do only of that which you enjoy
When I say “relax” I mean relax. Everyone has their own definition of “relax”. Mine happens to be, not doing anything I don’t enjoy. Right now there is tons of things I could be doing, one of them being taking out the trash etc but you know in the real scheme of things it doesn’t matter. Its not going to kill me to wait another day, in fact I have plans of taking out the trash tomorrow morning. As you see, one relaxing thing for me is writing. I am typing this because this is something that I enjoy doing, it doesn’t take much work and I love doing it. Now if you enjoy cleaning as it makes you feel relaxed, then do just that. The how to relax is defined only by you and what you enjoy. What im saying is stay away from things you dread today and do things that you love and make you feel happy.
The importance of this article is to make you realize that you don’t always have to be on top of everything at all times. Just as im slacking today, you should be able to relate and have a similar day to do so as well. When is the last time you just ate breakfast for lunch or had an all day long TV watching session with your family, maybe perhaps a movie marathon? If you are one of those people that cant let things be out of their control, well that doesn’t make for a very nice and relaxing life that’s for sure. Take time and realize that you can in fact let go. Try it, starting now
