How many of us are feeling stressed, tired, or down?
I'd like to admit that I am one of the people that are stressed and tired. Too much is coming up, and I really don't know how I will be able to confront so much. And so, to provide the perfect escape from our busy lives, we need a calm mix of food and scenery.
I suggest to most people to watch the sunset, because most of us aren't up a lot of times for the sunrise (even though I enjoy the sunrise the most). But of course, watching the sunset wouldn't be purely enough, obviously. Otherwise, how would this be a food blog?! XD So. Bring along your favorite beverage and a healthy snack to a good sitting place and watch the sunset (or perhaps sunrise? then that will call for good coffee!).
Personally, almond milk (recently released by the Silk Milk brand in Walmart) and blueberries do me tons of good and happiness. Maybe you might prefer coffee? Macaroons (too sweet for me XP)? Or muffins? One thing you might want to keep in mind: for a healthy, guaranteed boost of mood, make sure you aren't just consuming lots of sugar and caffeine to hype yourself up.
As for my favorite sitting place, my house's staircase is the perfect spot for me (big windows=big scenery). But maybe you'd like a meadow? An attic (too stuffy?)? By a lake?
Take heed, this is for relaxation, and therefore, don't make it complicated. Just bring along a favorite beverage you fixed yourself and go to the spot. Watch the miracles happen.
What if some of us are so busy, we don't even have time for that? Well, I say when you're standing outside on a sunny day, tip your head up and watch the clouds float by. Who doesn't enjoy going back to the old golden ages of childhood when we played the "Watch-and-Shape-the-Clouds" game?
