The Benefits of Relaxation

February 26, 2016

People close to me knows how restless I could get most of the time. Multitasking is probably my most favorite leisure pursuit, I guess to be restless is already encrypted in my genes. But honestly though I do have my share of daydreams like relaxing on a sandy seashore sipping a Mojito or perhaps go mountain climbing (ahh #1 on my bucket list for this year) and lots of traveling. But the reality is forbidding at times, you are encased in a world wherein you have to constantly adapt to the highs and lows that even temporary escapism is not an option. Optimism would soon begin to fade, leaving you with the daunting question on where have all the years gone by. I love the work that I have, but more often than not it can be so demanding that I also yearn some time to put my feet up.

Lucky for us, though we got a complimentary 2 night stay at Injap Tower Hotel courtesy of a family friend who owns 2 units there. Injap Tower is the first hi-rise building in Western Visayas, particularly a 21 storey condotel that promises an ideal home away from home getaway. Each room has it's own queen size bed and standard bed, a big closet and you're very on kitchen complete with sink, microwave and electric thermo pot, there's also a desk and a 46-LED cable TV. and not to mention a panoramic view of the city.

Aside from these bedroom amenities, guest can also enjoy a dip at the tranquil pool located at the 5th floor or get fit and healthy at their gym. You can also enjoy a relaxing treatment at the spa that is also located at the 5th floor.

Overall, it was a wonderful experience, it made me realize how beneficial relaxations can be to the human body and mind. For instance here are my 3 realizations:

1. Give you a Period of Self Assessment - which is pretty important because self assessment gives you a clearer view of what you've been doing the past days, weeks, months or years, but at the same it infuses you with motivations to achieve your goals and plans in the year ahead. In my case I've been a busy bee lately that I have neglected some of the goals I have listed at the start of the year.

2. Renew - relaxation can once again ignite the dying embers of your soul. Like do you remember that one time you were so keen, so eager to start something? but because of so many stuffs that you want to fit in a day it wears you down? and that once joyous, stirring idea just seems to be like a fara way dream? but relaxation can capture that exciting spirit again!

3. Good Memory - while stress can hurt and impaired your spatial memory that caused you to forget a lot of things relaxation on the other hand boost your memory. Hence better decision and a good mood!
