Guided Relaxation with Bedtime Stories

Did you have a rough day and felt all tensed and stressed out? Everyday living is stressful to us all. The world is moving in such a fast pace that it seems we are always running from one thing to the next and not achieving anything.

Stress is not something we will all have in our everyday lives. Some stress can be eliminated still some stress will always be there to haunt us. Our health can be affected by stress by draining our energy to almost nothing, it will run our bodies down and taking what vitamins, we managed to accumulate with it.

We as adults need to relieve as much stress as possible along with taking vitamin supplements to build us back up. Relieving stress is a learning and practice that takes time and patience.

We have many ways to relieve stress before it takes over our lives to the point that we miss the happy things that are going on around us. We might have a hard time sleeping at night and waking up thinking that it’s just another day to get through. We feel like doing nothing but lying around and can’t get motivated. Making decisions are becoming harder for us because we’re stress about something else that is happening.

Get started today to becoming a happier and healthier you by relieving the stress that you can control. Make a list and decide what ones you can solve and the one you can’t. Each day push yourself to work on one of them until it is off your mind and than go to the next one. Keep going until the list is down to just the everyday normal ones that we have no control of. You’ll soon start to notice how much better your already feeling.

Take time out for yourself and go to the library or get on the Internet and do some searching on relieving stress and relaxation. There are many books, videos, and CD’s out now that cover about everything. While at the library or bookstore or even the Internet, look for something you can enjoy, maybe something funny or something you want to learn to do.

Always take time out for you to learn and practice relaxation. Relaxation will help you relieve some of that stress and your health will improve along with it at the same time. If you are relaxed and enjoying, what you are doing or looking forward to going home after a long day at work, you’ll be able to sleep better when it is time to go to bed.

When we are stress and can’t relax sleep is hard to get. Without sleep, we wake up dreading to see a new day. Without sleep making decisions are not easy because your tired and stressed from the day before. While you are at the library look for a CD on relaxation and relieving stress, or on meditation. Once it is bedtime and everyone else is sleeping, slip a CD into the player and go to bed. Make sure the volume is down low and let your body drift away into the night.


Bedtime stories are always a good way to relax your children at night so why not try it for yourself. As your listening to the story or music let your body, enjoy it as well.

By laying on your back in bed listening to the CD be sure that it is quiet so you can imagine along with what your hearing. As you begin to relax, your body will start to feel different as the tension slowly loosens up. It won’t be long and you’ll be resting, relaxed and asleep. Have a good restful deep sleep and wake up feeling fresh in the morning.
