. Keep It Light<\/h3>\n

When you try and relax, you feel fidgety. Your mind starts racing and you end up wasting the time you\u2019re putting toward rest by obsessively waiting for it to be over. Throw away the traditional definition of relaxation and find what works best for you. Choose a super light, super-easy activity you enjoy that keeps your mind occupied so your body can take a breather.<\/p>\n

2. Focus on Singletasking<\/h3>\n

The key is to do one thing and one thing only. It has to require your full attention, but it can\u2019t be emotionally or physically taxing. Focus on every detail of what you\u2019re doing: For example, try your hand at a word search or crossword puzzle. Read a book. Paint your nails. There are many people who\u2019ve taken up knitting because of its relaxing qualities: Counting stitches, the movement of the needles, and the patterns that emerge.<\/p>\n

3. Define Your Mood, Define Your Activity<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019ve had a crap day at work and there\u2019s some pent-up anger going on, reading a book isn\u2019t going to cut it \u2013 reading the same sentence 70 times equals more frustration. Instead, go for a walk in a busy part of town where there\u2019s plenty of activity to distract you from your aggression. Or, if you\u2019re physically wiped but your mind\u2019s racing, listen to soothing music while giving yourself a facial.<\/p>\n

Always choose an activity that best suits the mood you\u2019re in. All that matters is the activity is light, easy, and it\u2019s the only thing you\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n

4. Do What\u2019s Relaxing to You<\/h3>\n

We all have quirky things we find relaxing that other people don\u2019t. I find doing dishes to be relaxing: It\u2019s a solid combination of physical activity and\u00a0mental focus<\/a>\u00a0that realigns me when I\u2019m stressed. I also enjoy playing with my cat \u2013 he\u2019s the perfect little character to focus on because he reminds me to keep things simple. You might find bike rides relaxing, or putting on makeup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
