Remaining in bed doesn't always mean sleeping.Relaxing in bed can be one of the best ways to relax all day.To get the most out of your time under the covers, you'll need to set the mood and give yourself a treat.Sounds great, huh?Let's start.
Step 1: Everything electronic should be turned off.
In the evening you want to just be you and your bed, and maybe a cup of tea or a book.Anything that isn't turned off should be put away.Turn your alarm clock away from you, turn off your phone, and lock the door.Our bodies use electronics to stay alert.The light that they emit messes with our sleep-awake cycle, but they keep us thinking about the million things we have to do.Your brain might be able to shut off if you get rid of them.Don't use electronics or artificial light sources that will keep your brain awake for at least an hour before you go to bed.If it is done correctly, TV is a caveat.In the next section, we will discuss how to do this the right way.
Step 2: The lighting needs to be right.
If it is Sunday morning and you are looking for a luxurious lie-in, open the curtains and get your room filled with natural light.Let the light warm the room by soaking up the vitamin D from the sun.You should match the lighting to your needs at night.You can turn on a lamp if you are reading a book.The lighting should be dim.The lighting can be a bit brighter if you don't want to sleep, but it should not offend your eyes.
Step 3: The temperature should be adjusted.
It is a good idea to lower the temperature to 66F (19C) if you want to fall asleep.Not only does this program your body to go into sleep mode, but recent science says it can also regulate your metabolism and help fight against diabetes.What is it that is not reason enough?The temperature should be a little higher, but not too high, if you don't want to fall asleep.You want to be able to climb under the covers but not fall asleep.It is likely to be around 69.
Step 4: The room should have a relaxing scent.
There is a lot of research on the effects of aromatics on relaxation.If you don't take essential oils yourself, you can put them in a diffuser and fill the room with a scent that tells your body it's time to relax.Why don't you allow your nose to do the work?There are some good scents, such as lavender and petitgrain.If you like the scent, you could be in zen garden mode.
Step 5: Throw on some nice clothes.
Even if the temperature is perfect, the lighting is dim, and the room smells great, you're not going to have a relaxing time.It's time to get out of presentation mode.It could be into your birthday suit.To match the clothes you are wearing, you should adjust the temperature.The room can be a bit colder if you wear long johns and a sweater to bed.It might be a good idea to make it a little warmer if you are going like the day you were born.
Step 6: You can write in your journal.
Writing in a journal is something we've all done and vowed to quit within the week.Most of us don't know that journaling can help us get rid of stress and anxiety and perform better in daily life.If you didn't have a reason to journal before, why not?If you don't know what to write about but have a notebook and pen, look out the window for inspiration.What are you hearing?What kind of trees are those?Those birds, what are they?What are you seeing that you didn't notice before?
Step 7: There is a crossword puzzle and a book.
Do you know that doing brain games and reading books can help you eliminate stress and take your mind off of your worries?Having something else to concentrate on may be all you need.It's more than just crossword puzzles.You could also take a load off with math and word puzzles.
Step 8: Take care of yourself.
Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that we are cared for and safe.Whatever makes you feel good, take a morning, afternoon, or evening and do it.You could put a hot oil mixture on your hair, lie down with a heated massage pad, or just sit in bed and use a face mask.We spend too much time on our minds.If that's true for you, you should take this time to organize your mind, write down to-do lists, and plan out your budget for the week.The rest could fall into place when you have this feeling.
Step 9: You should watch something light and cheerful if you watch TV.
In general, electronics are not good.Some people find TV in bed to be a good way to wind down from the stresses of everyday life.Don't try to relax with your favorite crime drama or news since most of it is negative.It's important to keep your brain light and cheerful.It's a good bet to have your favorite sitcom.You can enjoy the laughs with a program where you can turn your brain off.You should avoid the ones that make you worry or have a negative emotional reaction.
Step 10: Bring a cup of tea to bed.
Tea is comforting and can help you relax and destress.If you want to sleep and get rid of anger, passion flower and green tea are good.Adding honey to your tea will give you a stress-fighting boost.It lowers depression and anxiety by reducing inflammation in the brain.
Step 11: Relax with a snack.
Be careful not to get crumbs in the sheets.Dark chocolate is one of the things to put on your relax-in-bed menu.A small amount (about an ounce and a half) has been shown to reduce cortisol levels in the body.It could help regulate your metabolism.There is a fruit called mango.The fruit has high levels of linalool, which has been shown to be a stress-buster.A person is chewing gum.It doesn't matter what the flavor is.Recent science shows that chewing can help lower stress levels.Anything that is hard.It seems that crunching away can be a stress-reducing activity.You can start working on your peace of mind by grabbing a few nuts.
Step 12: There is a pet or a child.
We all know the feeling of holding a baby.It warms our hearts and makes us feel good.Imagine that feeling in bed!You will never want to get out of bed because of that feeling of love.Pets have health benefits as well.Pets have lower blood pressure levels and are at a lower risk for depression.
Step 13: Start planning your trip.
Sometimes the only thing we need to relax is to get out of the past and into the future.You can look forward to a vacation if you start working on it with a notebook.Take a picture of the locale.What do you want to do?Where do you want to go?This should be thought of as a visualization.You are thinking about how great your destination is and how happy you will be.It is possible that it serves as motivation to save up money, get in shape, and feel good about where your life is going.
Step 14: You should monitor your breathing.
If you want to focus on your body and bring your mind into the present, monitor your breathing.It's the beginning of meditation.Relax and concentrate on a deep inhale and exhale.What do your lungs do?Did you have your diaphragm?Do you have your nostrils and throat?You can take a stress-free place of calm when you focus on this.Start with breathing in for four beats and then breathing out for eight.For a few times, inhale for eight and exhale for sixteen.Your heart rate will slow down as you breathe slower.
Step 15: Some body relaxation exercises can be done.
Two basic options are available when it comes to progressive relaxation.The details are about progressive muscle relaxation.As you're laying down, move your focus to your toes.Relax them completely.Move up to your feet.Let them go as well.Slowly but surely move up your body until you are relaxed.There is a progressive tension release.Take a deep breath for this type of relaxation.Relax your body a little when you let it out.Let your body be when you inhale.Don't try to do anything.Relax a little more on the exhale.Continue until your body is completely relaxed.
Step 16: Try prayer or meditation.
If you're a religious person, a little prayer in bed may be all you need to feel better.Take a second to listen, it doesn't have to be just you talking and talking.Try meditation if that doesn't appeal to you.What is the reason?Research shows that meditation can help alleviate stress, anxiety, and depression.You don't have to say "ommm," either.All you have to do is focus on your breath and let everything sweep over you.It isn't about clearing your mind, it's about letting nothing happen.
Step 17: Take a mental vacation.
In the name of relaxation, sometimes the only thing you can do is close your eyes.Take a picture of your own version of paradise.It needs to be as sensory as possible.The more complete a picture you paint, the more effective your visualization will be.You are on a deserted beach.Are you standing or sitting?How does the sand feel?There is a breeze.Is there water in the breeze?What do the waves sound like?Are there animals?Can you smell the fish?Is it bright?
Step 18: Give yourself a massage.
Did you know that a hand massage can slow your heart rate?It is true.It can help calm you down and center you for ultimate relaxation if you give it to yourself or someone else.It can be effective.There's less movement than a massage.If you can squeeze the pad of skin between your thumb and finger, you will be able to release it.It is possible to help your muscles release tension by tuning into the pressure points in your body.
Step 19: Don't try to relax.
Do you know people who try to be cool and fail?They are trying to be cool and that is not how it works.It isn't how relaxing it is.Don't try to relax.If you do, you will be focused on how you are not relaxed and frustrated.Slow down.The relaxing will come if you pick the right relaxing activity.You should trust it.This is not a complete list.If it makes you want to do something else, then do it.It's about what makes you feel good and not what anyone else says.If you want to leave crumbs in the bed, let them be there.Why not?
