放松自己的4种廉价方式

 　　1. Take a relaxing bath

　　1.泡个放松的热水澡

　　There is nothing more relaxing than taking a bath. Add a bunch of different oils, soaps and scents¹, if you have them on hand, or just add some baby oil or body wash. If you have a few candles, light them. Taking a bath is one of the cheapest ways to relax after a long work day. You don’t have to add a lot of rose petals², light a lot of scented³ candles and drink an expensive wine or champagne⁴ in order to unwind.

　　没有什么比泡个热水澡更放松的事情了。加入一些不同的精油、肥皂盒香草，如果你有的话，或者简单加点婴儿润肤油或者沐浴露。如果你有一些蜡烛的话，可以点着蜡烛。洗热水澡是在漫长工作的一天结束后，最廉价的放松方式之一。为了放松，你不用加入许多玫瑰花瓣，点燃许多香薰蜡烛，也不必喝昂贵的酒或者香槟。

　　2. Give yourself a mani/pedi

　　2.给自己做个美甲或者修脚

　　Most women like a good mani and pedi to relax after a long day or week. If you don’t have money or time to get a mani or pedi at the nail salon⁵, why not give yourself a mani/pedi at home? Not only is it an inexpensive way to unwind after a hard day at work, but it’s also an easy way to treat yourself. It saves more money, takes less time and helps de-stress faster.

　　大多数女性都喜欢在漫长的一天或者一周的工作结束后，做一个漂亮的美甲和修脚。如果你没有钱或者时间去美甲店做美甲或者休假，为什么不在家里面自己给自己美甲或者修脚呢？这不仅是在辛苦工作结束后一种廉价的放松方式，但也是一种款待自己的一种便捷方法。这不仅省钱，省时间，而且还能帮助快速解压。

　　3. Try yoga

　　3.练瑜伽

　　When it comes to yoga, it doesn’t mean that you have to go to a yoga class. You can practice yoga at home. I suggest you to try less strenuous⁶ yoga poses and exercises to relax and de-stress. You should be very careful about which exercises and poses you try. Opt⁷ for simpler poses and make sure you don’t injure yourself.

　　当提到瑜伽的时候，这并不也为这你必须得去报瑜伽班。你可以在家练习瑜伽。我建议你可以试试一些不那么费劲的瑜伽姿势和锻炼，来帮助自己放松，缓解压力。你应该谨慎选择你所练习的瑜伽运动和姿势。选择更加简单的姿势，要保证不要让自己受伤。

　　4. Act like a child

　　4.像个孩子一样耍

　　Sounds crazy, yes? Acting⁸ like a child is a fun and cheap way to relax after a stressful day. Do something that you enjoyed doing as a child. Play one of your favorite games or listen to some of your favorite songs from your childhood. This will help get your mind off things that have been stressing you out.

　　听起来很疯狂，是不是？像个孩子一样耍，是在充满压力的一天结束后，一种很有趣而且便宜的放松方式。做一些你在小时候喜欢做的事情。这能帮助你将那些整天让你神经紧张的事情抛之脑后。
