57.      Turn your bed into a nurturing oasis that always welcomes you. Get bedding that you love including sheets, pillowcases and a bedspread that make you feel great. Make sure your bed is very comfortable. If it’s not, get a soft foam pad or whatever is needed to give you the best sleep possible. If you hate getting into a cold bed at night, get an electric blanket to warm the bed up before you get in.  

58.      Join a regular walking group to help you keep in shape and to make new friends. If you like more vigorous exercise there are cycling groups, jogging groups, swimming groups and of course team sports. 

59.      Take a day off to just do nothing, no schedule, and no requirements. Just relax and enjoy yourself. You’ll find that your creativity blossoms and you will feel like you’ve had a real vacation. You could even stay in your pajamas all day; have breakfast in bed and watch TV or a movie.

60.      Listen to an audiotape that uses guided visualization. These tapes can be very relaxing and nurturing. We have one called the “Mini vacation” on one side and the “Feel great” tape on the other side. There are many others you can find in your local bookstore or on the Internet. 

61.      Here’s a great stress release technique. Imagine yourself inhaling harmony, love and inspiration as you breathe in. Then, breathe out stress and negativity. Do this simple technique for 5 or ten minutes - notice how you feel. Another technique is to imagine being in a beautiful scene in nature. Make it as perfect as you can to make yourself feel great! 

62.      Have a cup of your favorite tea, sip it slowly and relax. If you haven’t had tea in a long time, go to your grocery or health food store and check out all the different kinds they have there. Pick out one or two to try, take them home and enjoy. 

63.      Stretch; take some time to really give yourself a great stretching session. You can lie down on the floor at home and pretend you’re a cat. Put your arms out, make noises and really feel your body. You could also try doing Yoga or Tai Chi if you’re already familiar with them. If not, you might want to take a class and find out just how relaxing and invigorating it is to really stretch yourself! 

64.      Spend some time thinking about what you eat every day. Are you eating foods that you know support your health or do you eat quick things because you don’t have time? Give yourself the gift of time to buy and prepare food that you really enjoy and that supports your health. You might want to try learning about vitamins and other supplements as well. Spend some time reading about health and learning how to take better care of yourself. 

65.      Try being silent for one whole day. See if this makes you feel relaxed and renewed. 

66.  Massage your neck for ten minutes. You can find little massage tools at health food stores. Check them out and see what works best for you.
