60. How to Hone your Habit of Relaxing Amid the Chaos

Earth to listener … are you there, listener?😵 Have you ever had one of those moments where you seemed to be in another world? Zoned out, lost in your own mind?🤔 Your friends or family might lean in close and snap you out of it, wondering what you were thinking. If so, then you have found yourself on a spontaneous relaxation journey.🤗 You may or may not have been deep in thought. You may or may not have been taking in some scenery🌴 or other sensation. Inevitably, you will feel at least a tiny bit more at peace when you come back into the world🌍 around you. Today, on Episode #60 of the Habit Thrive Podcast, we are exploring how to use these little moments to relax amid the chaos.🤯 Relaxation does not have to mean meditating by a lake or taking a nap on the couch. You can find little snippets of relaxation nearly anywhere at any time: at home when the kids or grandkids have been running wild👶 at work when the phones just seem to keep ringing📞 at a social gathering where everyone is talking all at once👩‍👩‍👦‍👦 at a music festival (like I did) where you’re surrounded by hundreds of strangers and blaring music🎤 Carve out little moments where you can listen to your breath for 5 minutes, take a bath in your hotel with your favorite essential oils or just close your eyes and listen for a moment. You don’t need the perfect setting, the perfect timing or the perfect tools in order to relax. If you do, that’s great! If not, that’s OK👌, too. Both planned and spontaneous relaxation will result in better sleep and a happier next day and day after that. Lorrie  xoxox Want to know your dosha? Take the quiz at chopra.com Loving the show?
