Relax…..the word itself says put your feet up, sit back, sink in.
Have a cup of tea, turn the lights low, put on some soft music.
But can we really relax? Really shut off, be still and actually relax!
In a world full of hustle & bustle I think we have forgotten (or lost) the art of relaxation! How can we “shut it down”, decompress, turn off the noise?
Think of days gone by, folks would sit on their front porch swing with a glass of fresh squeezed lemonade….and that was it…relax. Have you ever laid in a field of grass in the summertime and watched the sky passing by, giving the clouds an identity of some animal shape? Try sitting by the seaside and watch the waves crash ever so consistently on the shoreline. Listen to the enormity of the ocean….and relax!
Take in a sunrise…sunsets are easy, we all catch a sunset once in a while, (don’t get me wrong, also beautiful), but a sunrise captures a whole new set of emotions, to watch it from a hilltop, or the ocean, or a large stretch of land; somewhere that you can capture its magnificence from the moment it touches the horizon…..and relax. For a quick moment you can almost hear its appearance. It’s the strangest yet most beautiful thing!
How about the stars, to find a spot you’ve got to go far enough out as not to get the hue of “city” lights; lay in the snow, prop a chair in the grass, you can even lay on the hood or roof of you car and take in the night sky. Listen to the peaceful quiet of the stars as they dangle out there, watch them twinkle. Maybe you’ll catch one shooting across the galaxy!
No sound just your heartbeat….and just relax!!!
