subject: Take the Stress off and Turn your Bathroom into a Spa [print this page] Instead of getting drunk on bar stools this weekend, I think its time for a self weekend. That means cancel all your plans, lock your doors, turn your phone off, and prepare your home for an all out you day. If you are looking for a relaxed, meditative environment, you may want to turn your bathroom into your very own spa. Here are some tips on how to do that easily and without much cost.
--Light a candle, or two, or fifteen. Nothing cures an anxious mind better than dark illuminated by natural light. Focus on the flickering flame and bring your focus back into your center.
--Have a cup of tea. Tea has a way of calming the soul and relaxing the mind.
--Apply a face mask. This will give your face a shot of freshness and revival.
--Enjoy a hot bath. Take time to read a book of poems or your favorite novel for some quality you time in the bath tub.
--Self-massage. You can use oils, lotions, and aromatic therapy techniques to sooth yourself and indulge in the most comfortable moments of solitude. You might even invest in some of those low-priced tools that help reduce tension on your neck, feet, and points of pressure.
--Turn on relaxing music such as Enya or instrumentals.
--Or enjoy complete silence for a long period of time, youd be surprised how much this reduces stress. --Meditate. You can do this on your own or get self-soothing tapes to help you find your middle ground and experience peaceful awareness and healthy breathing.
---Go to bed earlier than usual and take the load off before an early, care-free morning.
