When was the last time you stopped for a minute to just breathe? Life can be a whirlwind and before you know it, the year is over, your toddler has already become a teenager, you are celebrating your 7th relationship anniversary, you've outgrown all the little things that once bothered you and made you cry, etc.
As you flip through the pages of life, keep in mind that you need to relax every once in a while. Your body needs it, your mind requires it, and your spirit yearns for it. Relaxing rejuvenates you and gives you more life as you lose it. After taking a breather, you always come out feeling more alive.
Jobs, school, and responsibilities take up most of our time, which is understandable. After all, we need to study, work, and take our duties seriously if we want to have fulfilling lives. However, sometimes we usually go overboard.
We let the things we are supposed to do overwhelm us. We wake up early, have unusually busy days, and go to bed late being overly tired too. This leaves us with no time to breath, have time for ourselves, or just relax.
You don't need much to relax. A full day at the spa, sauna, or massage parlor is not necessary. You don't even need to go on a one month vacation to Mauritius or take a full year sabbatical from work. Although all these ideas are good sometimes, they are not what you need to relax.
You could take as little as twenty minutes each day just for yourself and that will be enough. A ten-minute warm bath, meditation session, or five-minute deep breathing exercises could immensely calm you down and energize you.
Here are relax quotes that remind you to take a chill pill often because it's important for your health.
