## Why It’s Important To Unwind 



  

Relaxation is a hot topic among wellness experts. From high-tech stress solutions to the rise of neurocosmetics, we know we need it but rarely dig into why. “Whether you’re one of those driven, high-achieving people running on the hamster wheel, or you have a relatively calm, nervous system-friendly job, unwinding is that integral step we make from being switched on into stand-by mode,” explains Ksenija. “It allows us to go from fight-or-flight into rest-and-digest, facilitating the lowering of our stress hormones, allowing our brain and body the time to renew and recover.”

 

## Creating Moments Of Calm 



  

There are so many ways we can tap into that calmer state and one size never fits all. “Maybe it’s meditation, journalling, a bubble bath, *Bridget Jones’s Diary* on your laptop, or perhaps you prefer facial massage and an LED mask before bed,” she says. “I am a little bit of all of those, but the last two definitely resonate with me the most. Having practised and taught massage for over eight years, I know how useful self-care rituals can be in creating those moments of calm.”
