The art of relaxation

Having spent my morning making the most heavenly 'Grand-cru chocolate tart' from Le Cordon Bleu's Chocolate Bible and my afternoon painting, I am firmly of the belief that relaxation is an art form. Not only is it an art form, but it's something that everyone should be working to perfect.

Admittedly it can be a bit tricky to find time to genuinely relax during the week when work, school, and other pressures are constantly lurking around every corner, but Sundays are ideal for perfecting the art of relaxation. Lazy Sundays (the best kind of Sunday) are made from lie-ins, pyjamas, chocolate and a generous serving of escapism.

Whether you spend the day reading, watching films, cooking delicious food, painting, or another hobby or pastime, the key point is to de-stress and forget about your worries for the day. I think there would be a lot less conflict in the world if we all made the effort to relax and get rid of all of our built-up tension.

In my opinion, Sundays should be made mandatory relaxation days so that we can all wake up refreshed and prepared to face the coming week on those miserable Monday mornings. Free chocolate would be pretty good too...
