Top Ten Tuesday... RELAXATION!

This week I have found myself getting stressed out about school (I know, It's very early in the year to be getting stressed but I just can't help it) and so I thought I'd share with you my top 10 relaxation tips that I've been using lately.

1. Unplug - turn off your phone, laptop, tablet etc. This will help you to stop thinking about all the work you need to do for a few hours, If you want to leave your phone on to play music, put it on airplane mode! This tip really does work I promise.
2. Light some candles - they don't even have to be scented tea lights will do just fine just the sight of candles burning makes me feel warm and cozy.
3. Pamper yourself - whether that be a bath, facial, Mani-pedi or all of the above, just take some time to treat yourself.
4. Play some music that you enjoy - I will post a list of my top 10 favorite songs one Tuesday to inspire you.
5. Read a good book - I have a list of my top 10 favourite books if you need some ideas!
6. Do some breathing exercises or even just notice your breathing, this can help you relax and forget your worries.
7. Try some simple yoga moves - there are some great videos on YouTube showing you how and It's not strenuous or tiring. 
8. Meditation - again look on YouTube for some amazing videos.
9. Write a journal or diary to help organize your thought and deal with each one logically, it can be overwhelming having to deal with mangled thoughts in your head.
10. Surround yourself with people who love you. They will cause you less stress and be sympathetic when you're feeling down or tense.
