Relax, recharge and refresh!
– By Trishna Mahtani
Finding time to relax can be difficult, but there are simple
ways to make relaxation a part of your everyday life.

Not only does gardening nourish our bodies by improving
our joint flexibility and strength, it also nourishes our spirit.
The fresh air and sunshine boosts our mood, digging in soil
restores our connection to nature, and creating something
beneficial and beautiful gives us a sense of accomplishment.
Be mindful of the moment - let your senses soak up the peaceful sounds, aromatic smells, and beautiful sights of nature.
Let’s do lunch!
Social gatherings provide us with an opportunity to share
with others and give us a sense of belonging and connection
with the world around us. To keep your get-together fun and
hassle-free, meet for lunch or dinner at a favourite restaurant.
Why not try a buffet? With over 150 different dishes available,
Mandarin is a perfect place for social gatherings, as everyone
will be able to find something they will love. Mandarin also
has spacious dining rooms to accommodate any size group.
A communal meal with those closest to you can lead to a
calmer and happier state. So go out for a relaxing meal and
give yourself a chance to talk, eat, and enjoy!
Music matters
Whether listening to your old vinyl records or music through
your phone App, surrounding yourself with music can have
a profound effect on your mind and emotions. Listening to
music from your past takes you back
in time and evokes memories and
feelings. Try experimenting with
different types of music until you
find something that brings a smile
to your face. Take a half hour each
day, listen to your favourite tunes,
and free your mind! •
