Things at the Barrett house have been crazy, what with work, writing, kids, school projects, my own projects, birthdays, anniversaries, and oh, yes, the release of Blaze of Winter (yay!). It is not a coincidence that today I’m at Romance @ Random with a post entitled De-Stressing in Autumn. In it, I lay out five steps I’m going to take to help me relax. They are:
(1) Set aside some serious reading time.
(2) Take a walk outside in the crisp, fall air.
(3) Bake something autumnal.
(4) Listen to my favorite fall music.
(5) Try not to get wrapped up in the little things.
I think these are good first steps, and I want to start on them immediately because goodness knows things aren’t going to get less stressful as we head into holiday season. In fact, I already began by baking pumpkin bread and banana raisin muffins (which admittedly aren’t the most autumnal, but certainly do smell good). I’d love it if you stopped by here or at R@R to give me your best tips on how to relax!
Rules:
(1) Winner must be a member of my mailing list. Please sign up for my mailing list here.
(2) In the comments section below, tell me what you do to relax.
(3) TWO random commenters will be selected.
(4) U.S. only, please! (I’ll be shipping paperbacks).
(5) Contest ends 10/21 at 9pm, PDT.
Good luck! I can’t wait to hear from you!
Hi Elizabeth!!! To relax… Now that the weathers cool…a nice hot cup of Chai Latte, the favorite book I’m reading at the moment, and a fire in the fireplace!
~sigh~. Can’t wait to read Long Simmering Spring!!!!
A cup of something warm, a good book, and a fire? I don’t think I can top that. Though a bubble bath is awfully tempting!
Reblogged this on angieia.
I read and I workout to relax.
Trying to schedule workout time is the least relaxing thing for me.
