Relax Yourself – You Deserve It!
 
Here are just a few ideas to get you started:
Sunday – Immerse Yourself in a Healing Bath. Most herbs and scented oils have healing properties. Drop lemon and orange peels in your bath to eliminate toxins and create an exhilarating experience. Enjoy the fragrance in your bath and watch the healing begin.
Monday – Cherish your theme song. The music and lyrics of your theme song fit exactly where you want to be in life. It expresses who you are or who you choose to be. Don’t miss this opportunity to sing or hum your treasured theme song…everyone should have one.
Tuesday – Surrender to a lotion bath. From head to toe, massage your body with your favorite body butter or creme. For relief from anxiety, depression and stress, blend 12 drops of jasmine oil into an ounce of unscented jojoba or hazelnut oil. Nurture the skin you’re in.
Wednesday – Experience an “I’m Brilliant” moment (or two). Sit quietly and think about all of your accomplishments (great and small) for the week. Congratulate yourself. Find ways to mentally celebrate your


successes. Boost your self-esteem and find your place of triumph in the midst of the madness.
Thursday – Spoil someone special in your life. Doing something special for your spouse, spice or your favorite person of the week is an uplifting and inspirational experience. It serves as a reminder of your many blessings.
Friday – Indulge your creative side. Write poetry, draw a picture or paint. Creative expression is the supreme form of liberation.
Saturday – Embark on a special destination in your journal. Use words and pictures to illustrate your feelings about being in a special place or time. Revisit your exclusive corner of the world regularly to add new adventures and discoveries.
If your life feels like being on a merry-go-round that you just want to stop so you can get off, get started with some daily doses of relaxation. Don’t worry if you can’t make it happen everyday – just start! What a great way to get off of the merry-go-round and relax just a little every day.
