Peace & Tranquility

Standing alone on a beach looking out into the open air with nothing to take in but the deep blue water and the sound of crashing waves is where I find tranquility. I could sit on a beach for hours pondering on my thoughts and ideas or reading a good book. Sometimes I can find life quite hectic so a trip to the beach or a walk amongst nature with nobody around is perfect to set my mind straight. I have an appreciation of the sea because I have lived in the midlands all of my life, in fact I live very close to the official central point of England which is in a village called Meriden. So when I do get the opportunity to visit the coast, I always make it my priority to spend a day or two in the company of the sea to take a breather from the stresses of life and relax. There’s something about the fresh sea air that inspires and revives me.

Another thing I like to do to relax is take a hot bubble bath, with the obligatory lush bath bomb of course, whilst listening to classical music; my favourite album to listen to is Islands by Ludovico Einaudi. I also like to take country walks with my boyfriend, Charlie and his dog Beanie (she’s a beautiful black Labrador), particularly in spring or winter as that’s when I find the countryside most beautiful.

I find it really important to take some time to myself to switch off from the world and just relax. I’ve learnt a lot about myself and what makes me as a person by doing this so I would always encourage you to find something that allows you to switch off from the world.

I hope by reading this post I have inspired you to take some ‘me time’ and remember that it is really important to take some time out for yourself. I’d love to hear about what you do to find peace and tranquility so comment below if you have any ideas to share.
