There Are Many Ways To Relax

We all need to unwind at times, take off the pressure from work and life and find a little time to ourselves

. I enjoy doing pottery as my means of relaxation. For years I scrap booked or read, but the need to produce things that don't need to be redone is overriding with me so product oriented means of relaxing are more enticing than simple watching television.

Everyone does it differently, the day isn't complete for my husband unless he has watched at least a sit com for a half an hour. He usually falls asleep during it, but it is enough to shut off the brain from a long day and let his mind wander enough that he can sleep.

A hot tup or aquatic tub is a wonderful way to relax, not only for adults but also for children if the water isn't too hot. We have an autistic son that has a really hard time relaxing enough to let his body go to sleep, he is up all hours of the night, trying to unwind. A hot tub helps tremendously with anxiety and fatigue allowing the body and mind to slow down. I hear him in his room talking to himself until after midnight most nights. We just got back from a family vacation where they had a hot tub in the motel, he slept like a baby. What a great discovery.

It doesn't matter how you relax, kids do well being read to, after a warm bath or shower, routine helps their minds relax and the same is true for adults; television, reading, scrap booking, pottery, quilting, hand work, fixing something anything enjoyable at the end of the day or if time doesn't allow, at least at the end of the week, on weekends to bring enjoyment, fulfillment and joy to a harried and often stressful work week.
