RELAXATION TIPS

RELAAAAAAAAX......

So lately I've been working EVERY day ALL day long.  I'm use to doing massages but popping 8 out a day will eventually take a hit on any normal person...and i (unfortunately) am human.  Yoga has been saving my life so and i've been getting through the week just fine with energy to spare at the end of the day.  But holy cow!!! My last appointment today was a thick, tall SOLID man-such a sweet teddy bear of a guy-his arm alone i swear was 30 pounds by itself!  NO JOKE! That's how solid this guy was.  And of course he wants DEEP TISSUE. :p ahhhhhh

So needless to say, i'm in need of some good R & R, but my spa along with all the others in town are all closed :( And I'm on a low budget.  

But noooo problem! There are a bunch of things that help promote relaxation, releve tension/stress,  boost your mood.  And most of these items are just laying around the house :D Interesting enough, NO carbo load foods are on the list.

burning a scented candle is

actually more effective than eating

a snack. 

                                                                                        

Putting on a scented lotion (preferably one that you can associate with a good memory).   This will also make you feel happy.  Because smell is the strongest sense that penetrates the subconscious.   I like bath and body works lotions.

        Lavender promotes 

relaxation.

  Take a nice bubble bath.

Any sort of citrus fruit boosts your mood:)
