(Not So) Lazy Saturdays

My day has consisted of organizing, cleaning, working, babysitting, and catching up on some of my favorite blogs. I tried to fit in a little laying around and watching TV time... Can't you tell? All this can get my stress levels going up and up so it's important to keep myself in the right mindset. I have certain things that I like to do to keep myself in the right mindset and thats what I'm going to share with you today!

Music. Music keeps my mind so calm and relaxed no matter how unrelaxing it may sound. My music style varies to calm Colbie Caillat to extreme pop like One Direction to hard core rap like Kanye West. As of right now, I'm listening to Imagine Dragons's album Night Visions and loving every minute of it. I'm going to their concert in a week from now and so excited (blog post definitely to come).

Running. Now, I didn't go running today probably because its 20 degrees and I'd rather not freeze, but when its not below freezing, I love running to exert any gathered energy and clear my mind.

Showers/Baths. In my mind, both are super relaxing. I know people love just baths for relaxing, but I find both relaxing. Unless I have a lovely Lush product with me, I actually prefer showers.

Reading. This can range anywhere from a chapter out of a book to a celebrity gossip magazine. Today, I was more in the mood for catching up on my People magazines (which I haven't read in forever) and the Free People catalog I got in the mail.

Oscar prepping. Now this only happens once a year and usually lasts around ten minutes. I myself filled out the Oscar ballot I got in the People and discovered this amazing article I found while The Preppy Post Grad's posts. Look how amazing!

Getting comfy. All I did for this was stay in my pajamas all day and sit in bed while typing my posts and reading blogs. It is definitely something I should do more often.

I think the most important thing to do to keep a clear mind is to just not worry. Everything will get done, and everything will be okay at the end of the day no matter how much you have to do on any given day.

Until later,
