Our body and our mind go through a lot during the course of our lives. The stress of dealing with every part of life and keeping it all balanced is a lot to deal with and we always need to make sure that we take the time now and again to refresh and reset. Today we are going to look at a few different ways that we can rest our mind and body to keep us feeling healthy this year.
Sensory deprivation
One of the things you can always do if you are feeling highly stressed and in need of some help, this year is a floatation tank. This is essentially a tank full of water which helps to block out noise, light and everything else you normally experience, to allow your brain to truly rest for a while. You can read this floatation tank guide to find out some more and it can be a really great thing to try this year.
Yoga
If you are looking for something which can be great for tense muscles and also amazing for the mind, yoga is the ideal activity to try this year. Yoga is all about finding flexibility and strength in the muscles while resting the mind and not thinking about anything at all. It is something which can be great for you if you often suffer from stress and it is a good way to reset after a hard week.
Meditation
The act of meditation is all about paying attention to your body and nothing else. Being able to shut out the world for 5-10 minutes a day and breathe heavily can be great for the mind and body and it is also a really great way to wake up for the start of the day or to relax before you go to sleep.
Sleep
Sleep is one of the most important functions our body can do during our lives and it is a time where our body and mind can switch off, we can get rid of toxins and metabolise foods into energy and fat. If you are feeling particularly stressed and groggy this week, try going to bed a little bit earlier in the evening and wake up a little later. Extra sleep can really make a huge impact on your body and on your state of mind.
Get out in the sun
As we know, sunlight is something which seems to make us feel happier and relaxed during the warmer months of the year and it is something which is amazing for all of us. If you want to make sure that you are happy and feeling relaxed during a stressful week, take the time to step outside and be in the sun for a while. The sunlight helps us to produce vitamin D which is essential for the body, and it also helps to release happy hormones which make us feel more at ease.
Sunlight can be exactly what you need after a rough day at the office.
