First of all you need to define your stress level. You need to know how much relaxation you will need during the day. It depends how much stress you are taking in your life and how much time you can take out to stay away from it. For everyone rest is a different ball game. Some people like to sleep, while others like to listen to music. Some even like to go to a hill top and watch the world from above. Once you know what your stress level is, take a pen and start writing down in order to define your stress.

There is always something in your life that makes you happy from the inside. It will bring a smile to your face. This can be almost anything. Some people love to listen to music, while others would love to meet their relatives. It totally depends on the person and how they want to relax and which things make you happy. Keep asking yourself what is the one thing that makes you happy. Use the same paper to write down things which make you happy. Simply turn over the page and write everything you love doing.

At times extra communication is something that you need to get rid of. We are always connected to everyone at all times, listen to everyone’s problems and we are always online through internet, phones and PDA’s. In order to relax, you need to cut off these contacts. Try to seclude yourself from these things. Unplug your phone and it’s better if you can turn it off. It seems hard at first, but once you do, you will notice how easy life becomes.
