Relaxation Station

Stress affects our minds and bodies.  Everyday we are bombarded with stress at home, at work, in our personal relationships.  All of this stress can take a toll on our health and our peace of mind. 

We can learn to de-stress and relax to help our bodies to reset itself.  As we learn to relax,  our mind is renewed and our spirit regenerated.  This helps us to cope and improves our overall health. 

This past year I wanted to create a place in my home where I can totally de-stress.  A place that radiates peace, calm, serenity.  I wanted a place where my senses were hightened yet my body and mind could relax and unwind.  I am almost finished with it and am starting to see the benefits. 

I call it my relaxation station.  We all need one.  Someplace that suits our personality and needs.  Myself I am a book person.  I love to read.  My area includes a bookcase with lots of books, a picture window overlooking a pastuer with some horses and a beautiful pecan tree.  I have a recliner that belonged to my Dad that has heat and massage which is wonderful.  A small fireplace and sented candles. A quilt my sister made me covers me on cold days when I just want to curl up with a book. 

Wow.  I am getting in may peaceful relaxed state just thinking about it.  If you don't have one you need one.  It doesn't have to be big just cozy.  Put there only what you really love.  Make it your own. I will start my next blog post while you are creating your special place.
