You may find that you’ve inexplicably become more organized and tidy at the office, in your car, or in your thoughts, after doing something as simple as taking advantage of the natural light in a room, or adjusting the position of your couch in relation to the wall.While it may sound silly, there are psychological aspects behind the organization and decoration that our minds subconsciously recognize and react to.2.Practice More YogaYou don’t need a gym membership, or even a yoga mat to be able to take part in the exercise. And, not only is it known to relax your mind and body, there are numerous other benefits to partaking in yoga, a few being:Building muscle strengthIncreases bloo d flowIncreases your heart rateImproves your balance3. Take On New HobbiesParticularly if the hobbies get you outside and into the fresh air, you’re in business. People with pets are also known to have a lower chance at heart disease/other heart related complications, and, particularly with dog owner, lowering blood pressure and bodyweight as they’re likely taking man’s best friend for their daily walks. Personally, I don’t understand any reason a person wouldn’t want a pet of their own Not only do hot baths work to soothe your muscles, particularly those in your back if you’ve been sitting up at a computer all day, but with the new popularity of bath bombs (which you can make yourself, thanks to the guardian angel that is Pinterest) and essential oils, the opportunities are endless. Bombs for the water, oils for the air, and you have yourself a mini spa-soak waiting for you.7. Netflix NightWith the rise of almighty online streaming services, more and more common is it f or someone to add “watching Netflix/Hulu/Amazon Prime” onto their “favorite things to do” list. And there’s a reason, if you didn’t already participate in this yourselfâ€" the ability to sit down with a blanket, your cat, and a bowl of popcorn in itself is a nice thought, but add onto that the ability to watch every episode of every season of your favorite show, and suddenly you have your entire night planned, no pants required.8. ReadingIf you’re less of a TV-watcher and more of a book-reader, then welcome to the alternative to my previous blanket, couch, cat combination describe in #7.Apparently, reading by itself is enough to soothe your worried mind within only 6 minutes of starting. And, to champion the mighty book over the almighty streaming serviceâ€" books will never be taken away because their contract expired. You can read, re-read, and dog-ear every page until there’s nothing left.9. Keeping A JournalOther than drinking a little bit and complaining to your overly-exuberant dog about your bad day (we’ll get to that in a bit), one of the best ways to vent your frustrations while still keeping your dignity is by keeping a journal of your daily life.Even if most entries consist of only a few lines talking about how boring or great your job is, simply the act of reflecting back on your day is soothing to the mind as it helps to release pent-up emotions. So, instead of hitting the keyboard for a public complaint on Facebook, instead take to the pages of a notebook, where you can be as candid as necessary, without any possible retribution.10.WineIt’s a pretty well-known fact that alcohol helps with nervous jitters, as it takes its effects on a person’s nervous system and acts as a depressant. This slows your heart rate, and in a lot of ways your mind, so that you’re able to see more clearly through any panic that might’ve otherwise been clouding your judgement. On top of this, a glass wine at the end of the day is known to facilit ate a good night’s sleep, so long as you don’t go overboard.With all of that in mind, I only have one thing to add: grab a cat, a book, and bottoms up.
