Relaxing at Home | by Madisyn Taylor Throughout our lives, most of us are led to believe that relaxation is best pursued outside of the home. As a result, we spend months anticipating weeklong vacations, seldom fully appreciating the leisure time we are blessed with on a more regular basis. It is possible, however, to reexperience the same utterly relaxed state you slip into while on holiday within your home's walls. The feelings of serenity you enjoy during a vacation are a product of your outlook rather than your locale. You give yourself permission to enjoy yourself and unwind while on vacation. Granting yourself the same privilege while at home allows you to experience complete relaxation, even when surrounded by routine. Our homes can be distracting places as most survival tasks are addressed there. Reviving the tranquility you felt on holiday is as easy as creating an atmosphere that helps you relax. First, divest yourself of the notion that messes must be cleaned up immediately and reaffirm that relaxation is as vital as physical nourishment. Then, set the mood. Music that reminds you of a beloved vacation destination can put you in a vacation mind-set. The exotic flavor of a tropical beverage or the spiciness a favorite ethnic dish can transport you to a more restful mental space. Finally, put aside your projects and commit to doing only what you consider truly pleasurable. Your responsibilities will wait as you put up your feet and revel in peacefulness that comes from within. If you find it difficult to ignore the temptation to simply fall back into your usual schedule, consider that relaxation should occupy a prominent place on your to-do list. You deserve to take "you time" and to care for yourself, even during life's busy periods. While you may not always be able to get away from it all, you can still nurture yourself and regain your peace of mind. | DailyOM Course Spotlight by Krishanti Wahla Have you, like so many other women, fallen into the treacherous trap of obsessing over a guy? Asking yourself the same questions, over and over again, day after day, from morning til night: Where is he right now? Why hasn't he contacted me? What's happening in his life? Is he with someone else? Is he thinking about me? What does he think of me? Will he ever call or text me again? Spending all your time fixating on reasons why he's not as into you as you're into him... Beating yourself up for what you said, the way you acted, and everything you did to make it all go wrong... Endlessly speculating on what "she" has that you don't... Driving yourself crazy envisioning all the possible reasons why he just dropped off the face of the earth... Dreading that he could have been "the one" and you blew it... If so, you're not alone. In my work as an Intuitive Consultant, I've counseled thousands of clients. And the issue that rises above all the rest - money, career, health, etc - is the epidemic of women who just can't get certain men off their minds. Top 10 DailyOM Courses 1. 21 Day Beginner Yoga 2.
