Relaxation Preferences

I like to unwind when we get home and watch recorded shows and movies. I also love the aromatherapy scents of bath oils and candles. While I don't get around to lighting candles, I can say that I love shopping for them because their scent permeates all over our house and puts me in a good mood. Since we have rejoined our gym, we will take advantage of the free 15 minutes of massage provided when you enroll, whether you are a brand new member or returning ones like we are. We are still struggling with hectic schedules, but I think we are going to have to sit down and decipher when we can attend the gym since our membership is active; don't want to waste our money not going!

Another thing I like to do at times to help relax is reading. Nothing like a good book; not an electronic one either (although nothing against iPads and Kindles). I just really love a good crime novel and/or mystery to really sink my teeth into which sometimes are so good I cannot put down.

Sleeping is another good one but I find myself set to getting up early on weekends just like weekdays. On Sundays we go to Church, so we are up pretty early then to for the first service. If I can "train" myself to sleep in - at least on Saturdays - I'll be in business! But I know that is hard to do for me since I am always tasking myself with things to take care of and most have to be done on Saturdays.

There are so many methods to relax that I am eager to try some that I have not already. In the meantime, landing down schedule times to exercise and using the methods I already use will have to suffice. Meditation is part of the yoga class offered at our gym so once we start back attending those sessions, we will have the benefit of yoga meditation included.

Best Wishes to Everyone this Week!

  1. Hi LaMesha,
    I find myself having the same 'problem' when I try to sleep late on the weekends. I usually only sleep an hour later than normal- maybe 2 hours if I was out late the night before. But what I do enjoy is somewhere around Saturday afternoon sitting on the couch and taking a little nap. I just love that cozy feeling of being on a comfy couch and being able to take a little time to just do nothing. Do you nap? Or have time for them?? lol
