Problem: Article: Light some candles that are scented with either rose, jasmine, lavender, or another one of your favorite smells. Though you may think that lighting candles is for the nighttime, there's nothing stopping you from lighting a scented candle the moment you wake up. The smell can make you feel soothed and refreshed, and there's something naturally calming about candlelight that can make you feel at peace. If you're not gung-ho about lighting candles, opt for some incense instead. And if you've never been into candles or incense, don't feel the pressure to light them just because you think it will make you feel more relaxed. Putting on some music in the background can also help you feel relaxed as you go about pampering yourself. Try to avoid talk radio, or loud Top 40 hits, and stick to music that will make you feel calm and relaxed. If you like Miles Davis, Enya, or any form of classical music, then you should softly play it throughout your day so you feel calmed and centered. You can also just set Pandora to your favorite relaxing station so you don't have to worry about choosing anything. That said, if you're the kind of person who gets distracted by music, you can leave it off. Sometimes, there's nothing more soothing than silence. Though letting in some natural light can help you feel rejuvenated and refreshed, you can also consider keeping the room darker than normal, so you don't have too many lights distracting you or hurting your eyes. Soft, natural light, whether it's from dim lamps or candles can be soothing, while bright lights can make you feel too alert to really be relaxed. Work on having enough light to see, but not so much that it makes you feel overstimulated. You can stick to sunlight during the day and candlelight at night. Try to avoid using lamps or overhead lights as much as you can. You can also try to remove any very brightly-colored items, such as bright yellow pillows, and stick to softer colors such as greens, browns, and deep blues so you feel more relaxed.
Summary:
Light candles. Play some music. Keep the room relatively dark.
