Hmm, things that relax me…
- having a cup of Earl Grey
- taking a bubble bath
- laughter
- wasting time with friends
- a glass of wine and a chat
- walking in open countryside
- calm breathing
- dancing to the radio
- cooking really nice meals with really nice ingredients (possibly for really nice people…)
- looking at art that’s so amazing I’m totally absorbed by it
Anish Kapoor – Ishi’s Light
- writing – if it’s a story that absorbs me, or poetry that says exactly what I need it to say, or journaling
- … 🙂
- swimming
- sitting on a beach, looking at the sea…
- painting
- singing
- reading a book that makes me forget the world (try this one)
- playing with kids
- switching off mobile phone, laptop and TV
- creating something beautiful
- de-clutter some of my belongings
- taking a long, hot shower
- taking a nap…
- taking a walk with my camera (great way to stop and notice beauty in the details…)
- a bit of body pampering – lotions, creams, perfume, nail polish…
- leaning back, closing my eyes, and, for once, doing nothing at all.
