Whenever I feel stressed out—which is pretty often—there are two areas I try to focus on: sleep and refresh. When we’re tired, we obviously don’t feel well. When we’re bored or blue, it can be a similar sensation. Daily life can be so hectic, most of us aren’t making fun time a priority (big mistake!). Here are 15 easy ways to refresh, both body and soul:
- Unplug – At least 1 day per week, I try to take a break from the phone, computer, and social media.
- Move – Any type of exercise from a simple 10 minute walk to an hour long gym session is beneficial.
- Leave the house – SO important if you’re cooped up all day, everyday with kids or working from home…or both!
- Pamper – Color my hair, bubble bath, spa day, manicure, etc.
- Outing with friends – Kids and husbands are great, but sometimes I just need girl time.
- Journal – Worries, wishes, gratitude, anything that’s on your mind.
- Garden – When it’s warm, I do this outside. During cold weather I love using a terrarium or indoor herb kit.
- Art – Painting, drawing, stamping. I love getting creative!
- Movies/TV – Anything mindless like reality fare or a fun comedy.
- Vacation – Yes, a week-long adventure is wonderful, but a local day trip can be just as nice.
- Read – Some quiet time with a good book is like heaven.
- Cook – Experimenting in the kitchen with a new recipe is high on my list.
- Coupon – This stresses a lot of people out, but for me, it’s very relaxing.
- Date Night – I firmly believe every couple needs some time together to share, laugh and love.
- Pray – No matter how low I am, there is someone above that I can always look to for help, guidance, and strength.
What’s your favorite way to recharge?
