10 Ways to Chill Out and Unplug for Ultimate Relaxation

July 18, 2018 12 Comments

Stress and anxiety are rife nowadays and no one is immune. Here are some ideas how to chill out and unplug for ultimate relaxation. I have a serious phone addiction that I have been battling for quite some time now. If you happened to read my previous post on “Phubbing” you will know that I have tried to cut down on my phone usage in the past and it did work for some time. I do feel like my old habits started to reform and I am glued to my phone all the time again. I really notice my mood being affected and I feel this subconscious urge to check my phone every few minutes when I’m not already on it! That is why I am writing this post, so that I can help others to chill out and unplug for relaxation. read more

How I Choose to be Happy Daily

bright moon through the trees at dusk. Choose happiness

Hi Everyone,

Some of you may have read that headline and think I am being ridiculous. It does sound a little odd, how I choose to be happy daily. I mean, most people just assume that whatever the day brings will decide our happiness, right? For some, this sounds ludicrous as it would suggest that I am going around beaming with glee regardless of my situation.

However, that is an exaggeration! I simply put this into action with my mantra “Happiness is a state of mind”. That means that we have the freedom to choose whether we let negative thoughts dampen our mood. I understand that sometimes it is unavoidable but if you can get through whatever is bringing you down in terms of your mood, you begin to have a strength and power over the negative thought pattern, therefore choosing to be happy daily. read more

Our inner voice is so important as to how we see ourselves and how our confidence and positivity prevails. It is hard not to criticise ourselves from time to time, or indeed, all the time. I am no stranger to negative self-talk myself so I decided to write a post about it and how I deal with it nowadays. read more
