I light candles, something about my favorite scent lingering in the atmosphere makes me feel at peace. Scents like Eucalyptus are known to cause relaxation, and one of my personal favorites sandalwood and myrrh are both smells that I could never get tired of. Don't overlook stores like Marshall's and Tj Maxx, I snatched both of these for $2.99 each.

You ever think about how fortunate kids are to sit around and color all day. No responsibility, no worries. I recently picked up this adult coloring book filled with intricate and detailed patterns. I feel like its a way to escape your troubles for an hour or two and focus on the beauty you can create. I got this one marked down for $3.50 at Tj Maxx.
3. Listening to music is also one of my favorite and easiest ways to escape chaos and wind down. If I'm feeling like my energy is off, artist like Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, Mali music as mentioned in a previous post, are all good artist to add to your relaxation playlist. Their voices have a lullaby effect
Let me know some of the ways you relax when you're stressed.
Candles are definitely a stress reliever. & I may have to stop by TJ Maxx to scoop a few. I never thought to look there, thanks girl!
ReplyDelete& that coloring book is so cute, lol! Those are definitely some pictures that would look nice in a frame to hang as home decor.
Those are some great music choices! I also listen to some Sade & Amy Winehouse for some clarity & peace of mind.

Yes Tj Maxx has the hidden gems for the low. Lol
ReplyDeleteI had the same idea about the coloring book pictures! Could be a future blog post. And how could I forget about Sade and Amy, their voices are like butter.!
