ZEN PRACTICES TO FOLLOW IF YOUR LIFE IS HECTIC

We are aware that you are very busy and we salute you for managing to fit in work or education, taking care of a family, and trying to spend quality time with your special someone.

It can be a lot when you are juggling work and are having a crazy day. It may feel as if there is no time for self-care. This is why we need to develop zen habits to navigate through the ups and downs of life.

Here we share with you some simple zen practises that you need to follow to avoid burnout and rejuvenate your spirit.

SPEND TIME IN NATURE

Tap into that zen feeling by spending more outside. As we all know, the number of stressors in today's world are many. So, if you need a sacred space to think and flow into your natural state, you need to calm your mind by tuning in to nature.

From taking a simple local walk to simply sitting outside for your morning coffee if the weather allows – a few minutes of fresh air greatly reduces stress. Try and be still to notice what is going on in the natural world around you during that short time.

At Powerscourt Springs, you can walk around in your robes, take advantage of spa services, cool off in our heated pool, and take our wooded route to the river meadow. Relax on our 38 acres, and breathe in the fresh air. Go for a forest walk and meet our alpacas.

DRINK MORE WATER

Want to become a healthier and happier version of yourself? Start cultivating Zen habits like drinking more water. It will significantly improve your brain function and enhance your energy levels. The most important thing about forming a habit is that you should enjoy doing it.

A simple habit such as drinking more water can help flush toxins from your body. Remember, every cell in your body needs water to function correctly. Keep yourself hydrated because it helps your skin look healthier and younger. You can easily combat a hectic day as your brain is strongly influenced by your hydration status.

Simply put, a hydrated brain performs better. All in all, for more clarity and greater creativity, drink more water and find Zen in the chaos of life.

TAKE A DAY OUT

To achieve the Zen state, you must first prioritise self-care. A soothing spa treatment, whether it's a massage that relieves stress, a rejuvenating facial, or a sauna bath. It can attune you to your senses and the needs of your body.

Of course, your trip for a spa treatment should begin with a soothing massage. You won't go wrong by scheduling a 30-minute full-body massage if you're extremely stressed. A spa day is, for many of us, the best method to indulge ourselves, to the point where it has now been incorporated into our regular wellness routines, which in today's world, we could all use.
