When we are relaxed is when we connect the best with others, when we feel the best, when we look the best, when we digest the best, and when we laugh the best. No one has ever once said to me, Wow Meghan, you are a glowingly radiant stress-ball. Please tell me how you get that tension in your neck, that broken out complexion, those bags under your eyes and those patches of thinning hair? That bloaty weight gain around your mid-section- so sexy- and that twitchy foot and those gnawed off finger nails. Mmmmm mmmmm. I want some of that hawtness!” Keep Reading [...] [...] “Doesn’t everything amazing come from the time we allow ourselves to relax?

Letting each day unfold as it needs to. Lots of time to lay on the couch and look at the pretty Christmas tree, wander in the woods, watch the clouds. You are so right!

I have been trying to de-stress at night with my little 13-week bun in the oven, and it hasn't been easy. I feel like there are a million things to worry about, from whether I'm eating the right foods to whether I should let the dog pull me on our walk to whether that little ache or pain was normal. This post is just what I needed right now! Thanks for the tips...hopefully I can spend a little me-time just relaxing and not worrying! Great post Meghan!

This morning I decided to throw some veggie scraps into a pot to make vegetable broth. My apartment smells heavenly as I just sit and enjoy my tea (and Meghan's blog, of course!).

Good tips too. I would add: Staring out of a window and letting thoughts wander. Daydreaming is a favourite pastime of mine :) If only conventional baths could actually comfortably fit two lovers. Lovers In The Tub is a nice idea, but it usually turns into Awkward Squirming And Sometimes Injuries In The Tub :( Yes!!
