Today’s fast paced world can be physically and mentally taxing. Work, family, life, and everything in between means squeezing every possible minute out of the day. Pushing our bodies and brains to the limit every day can lead to a breakdown.
The occasional holiday sometimes isn’t enough to help us rejuvenate. That’s why it’s important to come home every day and give yourself a moment to re-energize. After a long and hectic day at work, you deserve some time to yourself.
The luxurious apartments of Villa Regale in North McAllen offer the perfect environment to destress and recharge. Unwind and beat the McAllen, TX heat in our resort-style pool or enjoy a night full of laughs and delicious burgers as you grill for your friends at our outdoor BBQ area.
We know that as a professional, you’re probably saving lives and changing the world. You deserve to let your mind and body enjoy a moment of relaxation after the chaos that is work. After a hectic day, consider the following ten tips for making your apartment a stress-free haven.
Declutter.
Let’s be honest—we tend to collect a lot of things we don’t really need or use. All those bookshelves overflowing with random items, books, magazines, and more, can leave us feeling boxed in. If you want to create a relaxing environment in your apartment, you have to declutter. Take the time to organize and store things in their right place, especially in your living space. Less items out in plain view means less distraction when you’re trying to relax.
Take a long, soothing bath.
If you’ve had a long and stressful day at work, you probably feel quite a bit of tension all of your body. After a hectic day at the office or hospital, go home and wash out all that frustration from your hair and body. Research has shown that water has a calming effect that can leave you feeling renewed and refreshed. So get home, lay out your most comfortable pajamas, and take a long soothing shower or bath. You deserve it.
Don’t forget those aromatherapy candles.
If you really want to complement that shower, then consider lighting up a few aromatherapy candles and dimming the lights to enhance the mood. Lavender and peppermint are great for relaxation, lowering stress, and relieving anxiety. After a long day of work, when you’re ready to find some peace of mind, turn on a few aromatherapy candles and find a piece of paradise.
Your decor should improve your mood.
Your apartment decor should be invigorating, light, and most importantly—make you happy. Photographs of your family and friends are great at providing you sense of gratitude and well-being. Images of nature provide awe and wonder to your decor. Whatever photos or knick-knacks that provide you a sense of stability and happiness should be integrated into your decor.
Burn off that anxiety and frustration at the gym.
Exercise is a great activity that releases endorphins that can help to make you feel happier and more energetic after a long day at work. Villa Regale offers a 24-hour state-of-the-art fitness center that will get you moving and feeling better in no time. Of course the idea isn’t to strain yourself; a half an hour on the treadmill can provide you enough physical activity to replenish your energy. This can be especially helpful if you’re going to be attending a social occasion later in the evening or if your family requires some attention.
Turn off the cellphone and IPad.
Mobile phones and other electronic devices are some of the biggest sources of stress in our modern lives. These luxuries make us readily available to be reached at any given moment. If you really want to relax, you’ll need to remember to turn off those electronics that keep us connected to our bosses and work. After you have put in a full day of energy at the office, the last thing you need to do to relax is take that home. Learn to detach yourself from work—you and your family will appreciate all the peace and relaxation this brings with it.
Find some peace and relaxation with music.
Plug in some headphones and find a moment of relaxation with some soothing classical or meditation music. Because the hearing sense can have such a tremendous effect on the way you are feeling it’s best to listen to a genre of music that is going to calm your nerves rather than aggravate them. Consider finding a nice spot outside to enjoy some relaxing tunes and to find a moment of peace and quiet.
Escape into another world.
Work, school, and family—life can be quite hectic. If you want to escape the chaos of the day, then slip into another world by reading a book. After a long day at work, and a nice, hot shower, pick up one of your favorite books and settle into a comfortable nook. If you aren’t much of a reader, then consider enjoying a favorite tv-series or movie on your laptop or television. The idea is to get your mind off the stresses of the day and enjoy the peace of entertainment.
Enjoy the company of friends.
Relaxing doesn’t have to a be a solo adventure. Socializing with friends and family can be a great way to get your mind off of things and enjoying the pleasures of company. Talking with friends or family members can have a positive effect on your mood and help you to forget the stresses of the day. Invite some friends over to your luxurious Villa Regale apartment and laugh the night away.
Enjoy a glass of wine.
A glass of delicious wine (or pint of savory beer) can help you to relax and sleep better. Of course moderation is key and you won’t want to get carried away into finishing a whole bottle as this can be disastrous to your health. Pour yourself a bit of merlot and allow your day to just melt away.
