relax, treat yourself

it is important to have time for yourself

throughout the week to wind down

work on your breathing: slow things down a bit

shut off the comp/phone/tv/ipod/ipad

take a beach walk.....for those with the option

if not, get outside in the fresh air,

take a few moderate laps around the block

get out all of the stresses from the day........

blow off some steam

REFLECT & LET GO

WINDING DOWN,

A CALMING END OF THE DAY/PREP FOR TOMORROW

eat a great meal: healthy, light & fresh

allow yourself 30 mins with your favorite book

feet up, tea cup in hand.....

Yogi Tea

has some great night time teas

perfect for YOU time

CALMING TEA,

BEDTIME TEA,

COMFORTING CHAMOMILE,

& RELAXED MIND

i recommend you take that book & your tea into the TUB!

BATHS: rock salt, tea tree & lavender oil A KILLER COMBO

the oils bring the aromatherapy aspect into play,

they gracefully.....fill the room

CANDLES: there are also aromatherapy candles to add to the ambiance

before retreating to your bed.....

IT's LIST TIME

I AM NOTORIOUS FOR MAKING LISTS,

i generally lose them, but i make them none the less

if you make a list of all the things

that have potential to keep u up

you can rest easy,

it can all be done tomorrow

once in bedroom, there should be NO SIGNS of work

1. make sure your room is dark

2. no distracting noises

3. clean/comfy sheets

i promise you, you will wake up refreshed & ready to go!

allowing the brain some awake rest time, will have your body will thanking you

we need to train ourselves to value YOU TIME.

i often run on autopilot & it has been catching up to me.

i am forgetting things, feeling exhausted & not wanting to engage in the the social things i used to LOVE.

WORD TO THE WISE

the kids, family, boyfriend & work are all important,

but not as important as your healthy & sanity.

you are nothing to any of them if you if are not in one piece yourself!
