Think you need an expensive vacation in order to relax?

Think again.

Your nervous system knows rest and relaxation is a requirement, not a luxury, but sometimes your plan doesn’t allow for time off work or the costs of a vacation.

You can still find peace in activities that help you calm your mind without costing a lot of money.

  • Go for a walk. This top tip satisfies your “flight” urge in a safe and controlled way.

  • Try breathing and meditation techniques.

  • Commit to a short time of guilt-free focus on a favorite hobby.

  • Do…nothing.
