Time to Relax!

18 Replies

Hey All,

I am writing this post to you right after my last final! That’s right, I’m all done with this Fall 2010 semester and couldn’t be happier. Yes, I love my school and the work we do, but man am I excited to have a much needed break!! I think my final exams and presentations went pretty darn good so I couldn’t be happier! I wanted to leave you all with some Holiday Cheer so I wanted to give you a list of steps to help you relax through the busy Holiday season.

1. Step number one seems like an obvious one, yet it is one that most of us neglect. Basically its simple, when someone offers you help, TAKE IT. Don’t do the usual “oh no I’m fine” or “just bring yourself”. IF someone offers to do dishes, take them up on their offer. If someone offers to bring something to your holiday party, pick something off of you list that will save you some time and energy.

2. Take some “you” time. Make yourself a nice relaxing bath. Go with the works, candles, incense, bubble bath. Truly take the time that you deserve to unwind. Besides it just may save some headaches later.

3. When in doubt, order out! Seriously, you have enough cooking to do this holiday season, so the night before a big holiday bash, order in your favorite Chinese food or pizza. You deserve it!
4. Take advantage of stores free gift wrapping service. A lot of stores offer this service and it could save you loads of time. Also even if their is a small fee, consider it money well spent because remember, your time is worth money too!
5. Don’t forget to exercise!! This time of year can get so chaotic that we forget about not only our mental health but our physical health too. Exercising releases endorphins to the brain which make us happy and ’tis the season to be jolly!!
Hope that helps ease the tension.
‘Till The Spring Semester!!!
