GOT TO BREATHE

Hello every blue-blooded lady and gentleman out there. I’m super happy talking to you today- another POSH Saturday. Just in case you had a stressful week, which I also had, you’ve clicked the right link. Today’s topic is going to be about something seemingly mundane but it’s of very great importance and should be imbibed by every single aristocrat.

About two weeks ago, my mom and I went to the spa, she went first and when she got out, she gushed about how the spa attendant was very good at her job and that the facial she had was calming and so on. I had practically started imagining how I was going to sleep during my facial as well, but lo, I entered the room, lay down and listened to the calm music, thinking to myself, “even if I can’t sleep, this music would make me sleep”, the music sounded like one of those “Zen” songs. The facial was supposed to last for about 40 minutes or so but then, trying hard as I might, I didn’t sleep off and from what my mind told me, I had been there 15 minutes. I was so preoccupied with getting some rest and not thinking; that I thought myself out of not thinking let alone sleeping. After a little bit of anxiety, (I don’t remember what happened) I guess I stopped thinking or became “unconscious”, the next thing I heard was “don’t worry, you are still here” and I laughed. I actually felt good…I rested.

Apart from my experience painted above, do you normally set out a day or hour to rest and that time becomes the busiest yet, of your existence? You know most times, we overthink not-thinking that we end up overthinking and then we ask, “I was supposed to rest today, why is it that at the end of the day, I still feel so worn out?” I’ve recently discovered that the antidote to stress and the way to relax is by stopping your thought process especially the ones about how “sad” your life is at the moment. If you have a mind like mine, you may be thinking about a zillion things a minute, just that alone, is enough to stress you out and rob you of the rest you desire. Another thing is to be yourself and if you are like me again, there’s a tendency to overthink things- your words, your actions, even something as ordinary as ordering a shoe online. I’m not saying, just talk off the tip of your tongue or act like someone who’s not altogether, mentally…

I’m just saying, being a little more carefree is the best way to relax especially if you are tightly wound up. Don’t be so intense; it steals the joy of the simple from you. Things don’t have to be that hard.

We are over a thousand page views and counting, thanks a lot guys for making it possible, I hope to read from you pretty soon, I would like to read about some other views. Love you all for coming here to know what I think and most likely what you’ve thought about as well.

Remember to enjoy the moments and b-r-e-a-t-h-e. Have a POSH ARISTOCRATIC Saturday…xoxo
