Today is National Relaxation Day🧘♀️
With our focus on emotional wellbeing this month, here are five ways you can relax to reduce stress, ease anxiety and boost emotional wellbeing:
💬Enjoy a chat with friends or family – even a quick hello with a neighbour can lift your mood.
🍃Step outside for fresh air – spending time in a garden or at a seated spot outdoors can help clear the mind.
🎶Listen to something you love – whether it’s the radio or a favourite CD, taking time to zone out and listen can be relaxing and comforting.
🚶♀️Join a light activity – whether it’s a seated exercise session, craft group, or gentle game, being active can reduce tension and boost confidence.
🧩Make time for quiet moments – reading a book, doing a puzzle, or simply sitting in a cosy corner with your thoughts can give your mind the space to recharge.
