Post work destress at home

When i rush home after a long day, my mind is whirling on dinner menu, spending time with li'l one, maid issues, health of ageing parents, clothes for next day, homework, ppts...phew..! I am sure most women face these moments..But ladies, when u are in the long haul u cant let yourself wither away like that. Create magic at home, destress amidst all the chaos around u. You will find peace and calm i am sure. You will be rejuvenated and ready for the next day. Here's how I try to find my peace n sanity after a long long day

10 mins on your own in a secluded space like balcony or terrace, or even a quiet corner at home with deep breathing

Bonding with family, just connecting and catching up on day...before plunging into any work

Avoid tv

Light aroma candles, i light camphor n dhoop..sometimes camphor and some candles on top


Light diyas across home

Foot massage before bed

Listen Soft music or chants

Sometimes watering plants helps unwind after a busy day

I do suryanamaskaar if i am having restlessness/ body ache

I sometimes walk in my campus for 10 mins before winding up the day

Take time to smell those flowers or just be in the moment

Sometimes i wind up with a short story from an inspirational book


How do u all unwind after a long day?

    2. I will get all their editions. Always love to read about human experiences that restore faith. You are right, tv does help a great deal to divert the mind.

    I can totally relate..and slowly now I am understanding that when they say "raising kids is not easy" it does not mean that the kids are torturing us, it actually refers to the mental anguish we put ourselves through...worrying about them and loving them :)
    How is your daughter doing now? I hope she has settled :)

  5. A 15 minute nap, a brisk walk to the temple near my house, spending time with dogs in my street, switching off my mobile hone for few hours and sitting alone in silence.

    Thats what I do :)
