This week is National Simplify Your Life Week. And it couldn’t show up in the calendar at a better moment.
Book Stores
Consider, for example, according to online sources, sales of books related to anxiety remain way up. Data from mental health polls confirm that America remains an anxious nation, driven by the economy, political polarization, and global conflicts..
But what has simplifying one’s life got to do with anxiety?
A good deal, say many trend reporters, because simplification refers to much more than cleaning out an over-stuffed hall closet.
Nurture Childlike Qualities
Simplification, they say, begins with the the ability to relax — to just be in the moment, so to speak.
It’s a childlike quality adults should safeguard and continually nourish within themselves.
The National Simplify Your Week calendar puts it this way: “There are so many ways we can simplify our lives. Taking a break from social media is one activity that can help refine our life. By logging off once and a while, we allow ourselves to find other things to accomplish or get in that needed afternoon nap. We need to choose simplification that best suits our own needs.”
So How Can I Stay Relaxed?
Calming One’s Mind
There are lots of ways to do this. Some choose spiritual means like prayer or meditation.
Others find that quiet moments alone amid beautiful scenery is restorative.
Many of our clients, for example, find that quiet time in their hot tub, within warm water and massage jets soothing tense muscles (hydrotherapy), their anxiety and tension just melts away.
Benefits of hydrotherapy:
This ancient practice has been used for thousands of years to help treat muscle pain, reduce stress, and improve mental and emotional health. Because prolonged stress can lead to cardiovascular problems, depression, and high blood pressure, soaking in warm water can do a lot to help you relax and find peace. Even in a crowd!
De-stress and Reconnect
Not only is hydrotherapy great at soothing one’s body, mind, and soul, but once you’re in a state of mindfulness, you are inspired to then take more time to reconnect with your spouse and family and do other helpful activities. Also, soaking in a hot tub with others develops deeper, more meaningful conversations without the constant interruptions from phones and other electronics.
Relaxation Reveals The Best In Us:
Living in the moment does not have to be solemn. Relaxation can be the impetus for happier social activities — especially with family. These Best Hot Tubs clients are doing just that in their Bullfrog Spa — and note that not one of them appears stressed.
