Learning to Relax at Home
Your home is probably the best environment in which to relax because you control that environment (or most of it anyway). If needed, you can send your husband out with the kids or hire a maid to thoroughly clean up the house before you get started, but do not give up on finding time to relax at home.
Free Relaxation Techniques For Everyone!
There are many different free relaxation techniques available to you in the comfort of your home:
- Aromatherapy. I have gathered lots of useful information on essential oils, carrier oils, and diffusers on this aromatherapy page. Obviously, in order to use aromatherapy at home, you will have to buy essential oils and a diffuser of some sort, but make sure to read the information provided on this website to discover if aromatherapy is for you before you invest money.
- Astral Travel. You may feel that this new age technique is not for you, but don’t hesitate to give it a try. It won’t cost you a penny and the worst thing that you could happen is that you fall asleep with your body fully relaxed. How bad could it be? Learn to astral project today.
- Breathing. Well, this one is as free as it gets (until the government decides to tax the air…) Make sure to read this useful information on using proper breathing techniques. You may be surprised to learn that you forgot how to breathe correctly to get rid of stress!
- Comfort Food. It works both psychologically and physically (as long as you don’t overindulge!) and it tastes great. Check out some of my favorite comfort food recipes or some of these delicious fondue recipes for appetizers, meals and desserts.
- Feng Shui. It may be hard to believe it at first, but your furniture and your home may be working against you! Yes, you read right. Fortunately, the Chinese discovered how energy flow and furniture location can affect your overall well-being, wealth, health, good fortune, and more. It may be time to repaint your walls or move your furniture to a more suitable location. Getting the feng shui information you need to get started won’t cost you a penny.
- Meditation. You may already be meditating but under another name. Some call it prayer, some call it reflecting on a situation, some call it thinking… You can also focus on your seven main chakras locations and practice awakening your chakra to improve several aspects of your life. It’s free and it’s a great tool that you can learn to use daily in your fight against stress.
- Music. Music is a wonderful way to relax while improving your physical, mental, and emotional health. If you don’t quite believe this statement, try it out for yourself. Sit comfortably and listen to some of your favorite songs. You can also buy some relaxation music online.
- Reading. Don’t forget about the libraries in your town or city! Reading doesn’t have to be an expensive relaxation technique!
- Sleep. Need I say more? You need to get enough good-quality sleep. If you are suffering from insomnia, make sure to read more about sleep and insomnia.
- Tea. What better way to relax at home than to enjoy a delicious and healthy cup of tea? Plenty of flavors to choose from: black tea, oolong tea, green tea, white tea, and herbal tea.
- Yoga Don’t assume that yoga costs a fortune! It could… but all you really need is comfortable clothing and a clean, non-slippery surface (preferably padded). I provide some information on basic yoga poses such as the yoga sun salutation and other posts on this website. Yoga can help you relax with the added benefit of improving your flexibility. There are a lot more benefits that can come from yoga, but first, you need to get started with some yoga basics!
