Summer is a fun and exciting time of the year. It’s the time for festivals, vacations, fun in the sun, and beach parties. These provide the perfect opportunity to spend time with family and friends, catching up, building bonds to making everlasting memories.  However, with all the rigorous and time consuming events and festivities, sometimes you need to take personal time and have a break. These at home relaxation tips will help you enjoy some down time and recharge. Here are 5 of the best tips for relaxing at home.

Relaxing Things To Do At Home

relaxation tips

Yes, relaxing feels great! However, relaxation is more than just something that feels good. It is good for us too! As WellBeing People points out, “When we relax, the flow of blood increases around our body giving us more energy. It helps us to have a calmer and clearer mind which aids positive thinking, concentration, memory and decision making. Relaxation slows our heart rate, reduces our blood pressure and relieves tension. It also aids digestion as we absorb essential nutrients more efficiently when relaxed, which helps to fight off disease and infection.”

Detox Bath to Relax Muscles

Try a Detox Bath! They are known to increase circulation, relax your muscles and pull the toxins out of your body. It can even be fun and relaxing to make your own detox bath because they are so easy to make! Check out this link for 3 DIY Detox Baths.

Take Time to Read

My favorite escape is a book, but rather a physical book or tablet the best way to escape is through a book. It’s much cheaper than a real vacation and the easy access allows you to be submersed in as great journey any time you want. Curl up on your favorite couch with a blanket and cup of coffee to enjoy the great escape.  You may want to check out this list of summer reads.

Meditation

Meditation is a great and effective way to lower your blood pressure, clear your mind and focus on yourself.  Completely customizable you can light a few candles, play low music, meditate in the comfort of your own home or garden. Looking for tips and additional information, check out these Tips for Meditating.

Listen to Music

Pop in head phones and tune out the world! Music is known to have positive physiological effects on individuals. It can aid in relaxation and increase your mood. I personally love uplifting frequency meditation music. The Calm app has some good choices for relaxing music and guided meditations.

Yoga

An amazing way to increase breathing, flexibility and relieve built up tense in your body. There are even videos On Demand and that you can stream for free! Enjoy yoga poses with or without a mat in your living room or even outside.

Get a Stress Ball

Stress balls are really great to just play with. They can help get your mind off the task or problem at hand. They also function as a quick way to work out your anxiety if you get a little anxious at times.
