Relaxation Essentials: Fun Fashion, Motivational Literature, and Upbeat Music for a Cheerful Mood

In the pursuit of relaxation and a less tense attitude, one author has found solace in two unique sources - the Patio Dinners playlist and the book "Meditations on the Mat" by Rolf Gates.

The Patio Dinners playlist, a collection of 60's and 70's soul, modern R&B, and indie music, has a happy and nostalgic vibe that brings a smile to the author's face when they need to unwind. However, the author does not specify if this playlist is available on any specific music streaming platform or if it is public for others to listen.

The author's yoga practice, guided by "Meditations on the Mat," offers a calming counterpoint to the playlist. The book, according to a quote, states that years of consistent yoga practice are not built on rigid self-discipline, but on the desire to know more. This philosophy resonates with the author, who is learning and growing through the practice.

To further aid in relaxation, the author employs various techniques like deep breathing, mindfulness meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, and positive visualization. Additionally, wearing light and playful clothing, such as overalls, provides emotional comfort and aids in relaxation.

When feeling overwhelmed, the author turns to the Patio Dinners playlist and their "Morning Tea" playlist, both filled with uplifting, instrumental music that helps quiet their mind. The playlists serve as a reminder to loosen up, enjoy the journey, and remind themselves to smile.

The author pairs the Patio Dinners playlist with a glass of wine, creating a perfect atmosphere for unwinding after a long day. As the author continues to learn about yoga and explore different playlists, they are reminded to take life less seriously and enjoy the journey.
