***Bring Natural Relaxation and Stress Relief to your Life Today!

Most of us can use a tap on the shoulder once in awhile telling us to calm down, take a deep breath or relax. If it was that easy we would tell ourselves that every day and approach the day with a new attitude rather than feeling anxious, stressed or frazzled! Most people want to find ways to relax in natural ways. Here are a few tips to relaxing and starting each day off stress-free.

• Start your day with a natural awakening Many of us are so rudely interrupted each morning by an annoying beep or loud blaring radio. The way you wake up in the morning can actually have a larger effect than how much sleep you got believe it or not! If you are not “jolted” awake from a dead sleep but are allowed to gradually wake up or wake up at the ideal time you will feel much more awake and refreshed allowing you to accomplish more in the morning and have a more positive outlook on the day. This in turn can leave you feeling less stressed. A natural awakening alarm clock like one with nature sounds or gradual sunrise will help accomplish this morning wake up.

• Try to eliminate or reduce the noise levels around you Noise is everywhere! At work it is usually people around you or phones ringing and at home, traffic, people, barking dogs or the neighbors in the apartment above. Having something else to focus on can truly help reduce stress and anxiety levels. Try a water fountain or some relaxation music to give your mind something to think about.

• Give your feet a rest Treat your feet to a rest by forcing yourself to sit down, take a deep breathe and put your feet up several times a day. Whether you sit at a desk all day or are up walking down halls all day your feet need a rest too. A hammock or a big bean bag chair can help by providing an alte
ative place from your couch or bed.

• Create some serenity at the office Bring some white noise or water sounds to your work space to drowned out background noise and help you relax at work. The sound of water from a desktop water fountain will create soothing sounds to calm your nerves at work where we sometimes need it most.

• Enjoy nature Many of us already take a walk mid day or in the evening to wind down and I am a strong believe
that this actually helps relax and relieve stress. Whether it is the exercise, birds singing or the quiet woods with the creek flowing through, being outdoors is very peaceful! You can bring some of that right to your own indoor and outdoor living spaces with a garden fountain or indoor fountain. Also, a birdbath will do wonders to bring the chirping birds to your outdoor space.

• Create your own spa Think about your décor. Are there things you can do to help alleviate stresses in your home? What about clutter? If you have clutter you are looking at all the time chances are this can make you feel anxious and overwhelmed. Create your own relaxation haven with a water fountain, some aromatherapy, relaxing candles and soothing music! This can be an exercise room, bedroom or room that you relax with a book. Whatever the space, it will soon become your favorite.
