How Do You Relax?

I last about an hour if I have nothing to do, I get fidgety when on holiday just sitting by the beach, I like being near the shops ...you get the picture. I get bored very easily.

Each of us is very different. Some relax by staying on the go, others by reading a book, others by exercise, and the list goes on.

I now say do what it is that makes you feel the most relaxed. 'Do one thing a day that makes you smile' is my new mantra.

Research tells us that we should take time out to rest, relax, and recuperate. And we should, but it's how we do this that is different for each of us. Research is great, I base all my work on contemporary research. But at the end of the day, research is 'for the majority'.

Adhering strictly to what others say that you should do may have the reverse effect, it may make you worry that you aren't doing what you should be doing because others said that you should.

I knew someone who was told he should exercise more so he took up running. He hated running but drove himself to do it because he was told it would be good for him. It's just like giving up an unhealthy habit, we know it is bad and that we should stop, but this worry simply adds another layer to the unhealthy habit.

So how do you relax? Do what you believe is right for you, you are unique and if it feels right, then it probably is.
