If the back-to-school season has you twisted into knots, you’re not alone. For us, the busy school days translate into whirlwind weekends filled with errands we couldn’t resolve during the week.  It seems like the holidays are just around the corner, too!  I’ve renewed my efforts to spend at least a few moments every day with relaxation in mind. Whether it’s just a power nap or enjoying a cup of hot tea, those moments are a lifesaver.  You know the saying about An Apple A Day….for me, that apple can be a few minutes with a fascinating book, and I’m happy!  Here are some ideas to help you take time to relax and enjoy your day a little more.

Hot Tea

Drinking a steaming cup of herbal tea is one of my favorite ways to slow down.  My daughter loves to enjoy these with me, so I asked her to select some of her favorites. She really loves these anime tins for holding tiny treasures after the tea is gone.  When you need a pick-me-up, try Magical Golden Apple.  Honeybush and dried fruits give this blend a natural sweetness while cinnamon provides a little kick.  I love it with a bit of cream mixed in.

A Good Book

My current favorite genre is suspense/thriller, but it’s not my first choice when I need to calm my mind.  Instead, quiet moments require a thoughtful, peaceful read.  Hope Your Heart Needs by Holley Gerth offers a weekly devotional with a gentle prayer for each.  Usually, when I’m feeling low, it’s because my heart is running on empty.  This book gives me just the boost I need to keep going.  Each encouraging thought is a page or two, with a brief prayer at the end.  The messages are so easy to relate to.  I find myself naming my “darkness,” and start recognizing when my messy living room is transformed into a holy place where God’s giving me a hug.

This book is perfectly giftable, too.  It’s small enough to tuck into your purse or leave on your desk.  Share it with a friend who needs a little bit of extra love this week!

Writing or Coloring

A few serene moments spent writing a note, doodling, or coloring can make all the difference in a hectic day.  The Kaleidoscope Fabulous Gel Pen Coloring Set comes with 8 gel pens, which I love because they’re bright and fun.

Don’t limit yourself to the patterns on the page.  Add your own swirls, floral designs, and embellishments to the coloring pages.  When you finish, tear out your masterpiece and mail it to a friend with a thoughtful note written on the back.  It’s a great way to pass on the happy thoughts.

One lucky reader will win a copy of this GEL PEN COLORING KIT.  The giveaway is open to US readers ages 18+. Void where prohibited by law.  To enter, visit the form below. Good luck!
