7 ways to relax in the New Year

I remember on a cruise celebrating my 40^th birthday I found that I couldn’t sit still in my lounge chair. Wasn’t there something I needed to do or somewhere I needed to be?

In the world we live in, relaxation is a lost art. Well, it’s time to get back in the groove. Here are seven things YOU can do to relax:

• Read a new book

• Laugh out loud – live comedy is great!

• Journal your thoughts and ideas

• Cook dinner with a friend

• Invite your favorite people over for a stress-free meal

• Practice yoga

• Master deep breathing techniques
