Let Nature Be Your Alarm Clock

Since we all need to awaken our senses to the tune of relaxing it seemed very apropos to post catnipoflife's (Awakenings' sister site) latest post here. Visit both sites...the videos are a little different on each one.

Word of the Day: Relax

Life is filled with schedules and deadlines. Most mornings begin abruptly with the harsh, annoying sounds of an alarm and first words of the day are often "Hurry, hurry, you [we] will be late!" Routines govern every minute of every hour and life in the moment is lost within chaos. 

STOP! In order to maintain sanity, RELAX! Throw aside senseless thoughts of "I will never get caught up!" Because you probably never will. The only true form of 'catch-up' is red, comes in a bottle and is labeled Ketchup! You will get done what you can get done, nothing more (perhaps less if you procrastinate)! The 24 hours, 1440 minutes, or 86,400 seconds (however you look at the course of a day) will pass regardless. You cannot add to it...that is all there is! So...slow down, chill, loosen-up, unwind, RELAX!

Embrace Calming Music

Empower Yourself with the Color Blue

Blue seeks peace and tranquility above everything else, promoting both physical and mental relaxation. It reduces stress, creating a sense of calmness, relaxation and order - we certainly feel a sense of calm if we lie on our backs and look into a bright blue cloudless sky. It slows the metabolism. The paler the blue the more freedom we feel.

Enrich the Moment

Do something exciting before you relax!
