Relaxation Tips for a Hectic Monday

 

 

The joy of coffee. The joy of the early morning sunrise. The joy of screaming children on their way to school. The beatific sounds of construction and traffic. The wondrous burnt bagel you received from Fred. The joy of wearing two different colored socks unbeknownst to you. The joy of the slow stagger in your walk….Good morning Monday!

Sometimes the monotony, or even busyness, of each week can become unbearable. Everyone talks about how stress can cause severe physical problems: fatigue, heart trouble, circulatory problems, and even cancer. There are many little things you can do throughout each day to counter the effects of stress and add little drops of goodness to your life.

Om Symbol Cufflinks

1. Drink tea…slowly. Most of us hastily drink down our coffee or tea throughout the day, not taking our time in our consumption. Try this: brew some hot tea, either at work or home. Make sure your alone for at least ten minutes and if you are not, put on your headphones and tune out the world. The Japanese believe that tea drinking is a spiritual, zen activity, and so it is. While pouring the water in the glass, concentrate on slowing down time, visualizing the water as a cleansing agent, and transport yourself somewhere calm. Take long, deep sips of the tea. Think about the tastes, visualize light in your head and all around you. After ten minutes of this, you will undoubtedly feel much more relaxed and in tune with yourself.

2. Open your jaw for three minutes. That’s right. If you have a headache or tension in your body, believe it or not, we hold most of our tension in our jaws. It’s an extremely powerful muscle, used all throughout the day in talking, eating, chewing, grinding…Give it a break. The best part is, this can be done alone or in public. But you may look a little funny: Sit with your mouth slightly ajar for three minutes straight. Don’t completely lock your jaw in an open position, but let your jaw just hang there, let your tongue drop out a little. After about an entire minute, we promise you’ll feel different! This simple activity is so relaxingly powerful, you’ll thank us 🙂

3. Instead of coming home to action packed TV or movies, try watching an old childhood film or cartoon favorite like superman movies.. It will instantly calm you, remind you of the inherent relaxation in childhood, and bring back warm memories. You may even forget the deadline for tomorrow and the next day and just focus on the colors, memorable songs, lines…etc. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with relishing in our favorite cartoons.

4. Once a day, turn off the phone and internet. Literally. After reading this even! Literally shut down your fancy phone so you don’t even see the pulsing lights and close your laptop. Science has recently shown that our brains are literally re-wired through the excess of technology–the constant beeping of phones, trains, computers, emails….sometimes we just need a break. Once a day, everyday, let the world know you will be unreachable for two hours. There is so much freedom in this simple activity, almost like taking a quick mountain hiatus in your daily routine.

5. Go outside and play your favorite sport. Even if it’s just for fifteen minutes. It will get your blood pumping, release “happy” endorphins in the brain, and release pent up stress, anger, and energy. Plus you’ll sleep better and get your metabolism going.

Major sports cities: Boston

The U.S. is full of a variety of fun-loving and historic sports cities that have endured the test of time. That’s why we’ve decided to honor a different sports city every week on our cufflink blog. This week, we take a look at Boston, MA. Boston is one of the most exciting and historical sports cities in the entire country. If you’ve never been to Boston to see a sporting event, then you’re missing out. There are four major sports teams in the city of Boston, and each one has won a major championship. The New England Patriots are still one of the top teams in the NFL, and the Boston Celtics recently won an NBA championship in 2008. The Boston Red Sox are atop the AL East right now and on course to compete for another World Series title. Let’s not forget the Boston Bruins, either. They recently won the NHL’s most coveted prize — the Stanley Cup!

 

It’s good to be a Boston sports fan right now, because all of the four major sports teams are contenders in their own leagues. Whether you live in the city of Boston or admire your favorite Boston sports team from afar, we have a variety of Boston-themed Cufflinks to pay homage to one of the greatest sports cities of all time! Since football season is about to get underway, why not pick up a pair of Vintage Patriots Cufflinks with the classic Patriot logo? It’s a fun way to support the New England Patriots and get ready for a new NFL season at the same time.
