Take Time To Relax and Unwind


Even though I have my own business, I still work full time. One day, I hope to take The Funk Soap Company to a level where I am able to support myself and my family. Until then, I work my job, my business, and spend time being a mom and wife. This can take a toll on a person. So, I have to make it a point to take time to relax and unwind.

Plan your "me" time if needed - I don't personally schedule a time, but it usually falls around 7-8 pm when it's getting close to time to go to bed. Some of my favorite unwinding techniques:
  • A bath with peppermint and lavender essential oils. I use 10 drops of each. The peppermint helps with my back pain and the lavender is soothing.

  • Reading. Not everyone is a reader, but I find that it takes my mind off of the day's activities as I get lost in the story.

  • Have a movie marathon. These are usually on the weekends and I spend the entire day with my family watching movies, snacking, and lazing about the house.

What are some of the things you like to do to relax and unwind?
