Sometimes relaxation is the last thing on your mind when you’re busy. If you’ve taken the traditional route, tried the meditation route before, and found it difficult to stick to your routine, here are some ways you can add some fun to your relaxation time. Well, if you’ve heard about it and think it’s a waste of time trying it, think again! It’s as effective as it is simple.
Live a little and laugh a lot
Laughter has many ups and literally no downs. When you laugh, your body calms down. Research shows that laughter can positively reduce stress hormones and increase health-promoting chemicals.
It can also help improve mood. Unfortunately, as we get older, we tend to laugh less often. Babies laugh at least 400 times a day, but the average adult only laughs 15 times for the same amount of time. However, you can greatly increase your laughter, which isn’t far off. Well how do you do that? Call your funny friend who constantly makes you laugh, or search Instagram and other social media platforms for memes that might annoy you.
Roll on a tennis ball
This is as weird as it gets, but it’s one of the most effective tricks to make your belly laugh. This is one of the techniques that runners use in yoga classes.
Tennis balls are indeed one of the best self-massage tools. Place it on one of your shoulder blades and gently roll upwards. Keep the ball under your butt and work your calf as well. The effect is so beneficial that there is no need to try an expensive massage in the salon.
Go old fashioned and write a postcard
Restaurants often hand out postcards with your check, so don’t throw them away. The next time you go somewhere, you can use these cards to text family or friends, especially those you haven’t spoken to in a while.
Sometimes it is very convenient to write emails instead of writing boring encrypted emails. There is no greater joy than writing your heart on a piece of paper. Try it and you will be addicted to the idea!
Read a book, and even better, swap it with a friend
When was the last time you read a book or swapped a book with your friend? Reading instantly refreshes you and relieves you from fatigue and stress. Enjoying a book in your favorite corner of your home with a cup of steamed tea or coffee, depending on your taste, is pure bliss.
It’s a source of greater joy when you can discuss a book with your friend. There’s no better way to connect than to discuss the book’s gist – what you liked and what you didn’t like. Have you ever tried to read a book for the ninth time? Find out the places you really loved, the plays that made you laugh and the ones that made you fall in love with the book. It’s like eating your favorite dish and rediscovering why you like it in the first place.
Get a face roller
How about trying the latest hack on the web that will make your skin glow? Yes, the jade roller. Not only can it add an enviable glow to your face, but it can also instantly refresh your face.
Imagine using a jade roller to relax your face and make it glow while massaging the lymphatic system. The repeated effect of sliding the roller over your face creates a calming effect and is definitely a great way to feel better. No wonder more and more people fall for the apparent magic of the jade roller. The best part is that they are really cheap and you can reuse them.
Don’t postpone appointments, go for it!
Sometimes procrastination can affect you negatively because they constantly bother you. An idea that keeps you alive in the back of your mind and makes you nervous. So, even if it’s that easy to reschedule an appointment, do it. This way you can serve the rest of the week or even a month without having to worry about it. Get rid of those lower stress balls that torment us for a long time. Better take it off your back and relax more!
Try these tricks and you’ll be laughing and relaxing in no time!
