INTENTION: ROUTINES FOR RELAXING

Having a comfortable, stylish home and exhibiting our family’s personality is essential to me. Last year we had to adjust and pivot our home to adapt to a few new scenarios: home offices for two people, a remote classroom for a less than enthusiastic teenager, a cafeteria that was always stocked with food; in addition to that, we still needed “our home,” to be the place that was our retreat and a place for us to step back from the outside world. When I had to tackle this process, I didn’t panic. I envision what each space would look like and how we would utilize that space to accommodate our needs; by doing this, I could design with intent and purpose.

END OF DAY ROUTINE

My end-of-day routine is a different story; I struggled with it in the past. When I first started it, it was hard for me to do it consistently. It’s not easy for me to shut down, so I needed a routine that tells my mind it’s time to power down, disconnect, relax and reflect. Last fall, I started drinking hot tea in the afternoons and soon realized that it changed my mood and calmed me. Tea is now part of my end of day routine, and I no longer struggle with disconnecting at the end of each day.  The routine is directly associated with something I enjoy.

My favorite tea for relaxing and unplugging is Feel Zen; it’s a loose-leaf blend produced by Kusmi Tea. It soothing and warming; I love it. I also recently purchased a stovetop tea kettle, and I love it. It’s like the old fashioned tea kettles we grew up with, which our grandparents had that whistles to let you know when the water is hot. I have come to find that the experience of making tea also calms me. It’s the ritual of putting the kettle on the stove, the anticipation of the water heating up and the whistle going off. Pouring the water over the tea leaves and feeling the steam on my face, and inhaling the tea leaves’ relaxing aroma is magical.

It’s essential to find ways to relax, disconnect from the outside world and reflect on what’s going on in your daily life. It’s self-care for your soul and spirit, and you need to take the time to do it regularly.
