Pamper Yourself:

Meditate with Candles
Turn off those bright, artificial lights and light up some candles and meditate. This relaxes your mind and gives you a peaceful feeling. A good thing to add to meditating are natural sounds such as birds chirping or ocean waves hitting the shore. You can find these sounds on apps that are discussed in the 'Looking After Your Emotional Health' section.
