Does it feel like the world is spinning at a thousand miles per hour when you wake up? If not, you can count yourself lucky. One only hopes it stays that way for as long as possible. Most people are completely stressed out non-stop.
Maybe it’s because you have to do more than hunt and gather every day. It could be because you’re addicted to electronics. Either way, you’ll have to find a way to truly relax while at home. We’re going to discuss the best ways you can do it.
Hang a Hammock in the Garden
How do you think you would feel if you were hanging in between two coconut trees on a tropical island? If you have a good enough imagination you’ll be able to feel that way when you’re in a hammock at home. You can even hang one inside when it’s cold outside, which means it can be used 365 days per year. If you don’t have any trees in your garden you’ll need to use a solid stand.
Build a Big Yoga Gazebo
If you don’t practice yoga at the moment you’ll need to start soon. It might hurt for a few weeks, but once your body gets used to it you’ll feel great. The setting will have an impact on how you feel too. In other words, you want to work out somewhere a lot nicer than your living room. Try building a yoga gazebo in your garden. When you’re doing yoga and hear rain bouncing off the roof your stress will melt away.
Invest in a Cardio Machine
It’s had to beat the feeling of the legendary runner’s high. When you run enough the chemicals in your brain give you a euphoric experience. Not only can it get rid of stress, but it can help you handle it better in the first place. The high can be experienced when you perform any kind of cardio for long enough. If you have a spare bedroom it’s worth investing in a stair climber or rowing machine.
Install an Infrared Sauna
Do you want to feel like you’re at the strippers in Perth or Vegas? You’ll need to get your wife to take her clothes off, which can be accomplished easily if you install an infrared sauna in your home. But seriously, it’s one of the best ways to unwind after a hard day at work. You can opt for a steam room if you enjoy them more. They’ll both provide you with a large number of health benefits if used regularly.
Make Sure You Don’t Wake Up
Once you fall asleep at night you bounce back and forth between REM and deep sleep. You spend more time in rapid-eye-movement sleep as the night progresses, which means if you keep waking up you won’t get enough of it. Your mind won’t feel rejuvenated when you wake up in the morning. Ensure you have a comfortable mattress and pillow. Also, buy curtains that won’t let any light get through.
Spend Time Under the Stars
There is something magical about looking up at the stars. When you realize how insignificant you are in the grand scheme of things your problems begin to disappear. There are a couple of ways you’ll be able to admire the stars at night. You could build a hot tub in your garden to give you a double dose of relaxation. If you want a cheaper solution set up a fire pit and sit around it with your family eating melted marshmallows.
You Can Try the Simple Things Too
We’ve talked about a few big ideas today, but there are lots of little tricks you can try too. Things like limiting your social media usage and learning to breathe properly work wonders. Give it time and your stress should begin to dissipate.
