Do you find it hard to relax?
Even if you've planned it into your day.
Your week.
Or even the whole month of August...
You just can't seem to turn your brain off.
You're not alone!
Today, on Episode #163 of the Habit Thrive Podcast, we are working to uncover, celebrate, and enjoy more relaxation.
We are exploring relaxation in 3 powerful ways:
1. As a skill
2. As a habit
3. As a mindful state of awareness
Like any skill, relaxation can be learned, practiced and refined.
To some of us, relaxation can feel uncomfortable, unfamiliar and sometimes even shameful - especially if you grew up in a home that valued hard work and staying busy.
But rest is an essential key to our wellbeing!
With practice, we get better at recognizing what helps us feel calm; the key is experimenting, noticing and knowing that you're doing something very beneficial for your self care.
And, once you develop this skill, that is when it starts to become a habit.
When we recognize what helps us relax, we can utilize it in our Queue - Routine - Reward Habit Loop
For example:
QUEUE: At the end of the day, you close your laptop or put down your phone or tablet.
ROUTINE: You take a deep, cleansing breath.
REWARD: You feel a sense of calming relaxation.
We're not talking huge, life-altering decisions or actions.
The simpler, the better for building a habit.
So, what helps you relax?...
Love,
Lorrie xoxox
