Relaxation Day

Take a long bath

What better way than sinking into a steaming hot bath after a long day at work? Baths are an inexpensive way to relax and reduce stress.

Taking a bath can help soothe your skin, calm your atmosphere and allow a temporary feeling of escape from your worries. Feel the warmth of the water on your skin, and let go of all the other thoughts that overwhelmed you. After a few minutes, you should feel relaxed. Happy soaking!

Your breath gets harder when you get stressed out. Harvard Health Publications shows that stress can lead to heart disease and it can get worse as it is associated with higher risk of cancer.

In any entry level meditation class, breathing is introduced as the very basic relaxation techniques. Focusing your attention on your breath is one of the simplest thing anyone can do to reduce stress.
