Hi All,
I've heard about candles you can get to help relax you a little. I reckon this might help if I'm feeling anxious, I usually play a story-based video game to help relax me but I wanted to have a candle on my coffee table at the same time.
Also here's a list of things that help me with my anxiety. Please feel free to share things that help yourselves too!
- Neom Scent to Sleep = This is a spray which is used on pillows when you are going to sleep. Its used to help you settle and drift off to sleep. My Mrs got this from John Lewis but I reckon there will be alternatives about as this was a bit expensive
- Headspace App = A mobile app which can be used for meditation however again I use this sometimes to help me relax in bed. Its subscription based however there's a selection of sessions free on the app too.
- Notes On A Nervous Planet Book = I've mentioned this before on here but a book written by Matt Haig which discusses anxiety and things going on in the world that can make life more stressful. Example being the News - There's no such thing as a slow news day!
- Ickle Ickle Baby Bot bath bomb = This was a gift from my Mrs from Lush store. Its a little robot shaped light blue bath bomb. Having a bath with this can really help you unwind and relax if you are feeling anxious.
Also a couple of video games which have helped me if you like games
- Stardew Valley - Available on Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo, PC and phones. You are a character with a huge plot of land which you tend to. No stress involved, just tend to your crops etc and fall in love in the world of Stardew Valley
- Forza Horizon 1,2,3,4 or 5 - Available on Xbox or PC. There's been 5 Forza Horizon games - Just a relaxing racing game where you are driving around amazing locations in amazing cars. You can go at your own pace in this and just enjoy the ride. Note: Forza Horizon 4 is set in Britain which is pretty fun - The map includes Edinburgh, Yorkshire Moors and also Ambleside in the Lake District!
- Firewatch - I found the opening 10 minutes of this game quite sad however once you get past the opening to the game its really relaxing to play plus the art direction of the game is beautiful. You play a bloke who has taken on a job as a fire watch warden in the Rocky Mountains. The game narrative takes you on an adventure. Very enjoyable
