The Relaxing Club

What is The Relaxing Club?

TRC was born from the idea that most of us are not relaxing enough, any of the time. We rush from appointment to appointment, meeting to meeting, gathering to home to work to home to sleep.

No merit is given to time spent relaxing in our lives, you may feel that you are wasting time the second you sit down to relax, that you aren't being productive enough, that you aren't fulfilling the expectations of the modern world.

The human mind needs time to reflect, to absorb. We need to process information becfore we can make the right decisions.  A hurried mind, a mind too full of worry and self-importance and things that need to be done next, is not a mind primed to make the right decisions.

Relaxing isn't just about taking time to reflect on the choices you have made and have yet to make. Relaxing is about taking life in your stride, about not letting tiny things cause anger or resentment. It's about not letting negative feelings build up, poisoning your interactions and your choices. It's about not laying awake at night worrying about everything that could possibly go wrong or already is.

The aim of The Relaxing Club is to offer solace in a world where relaxing isn't give enough space in our schedules.


Each day, you'll receive an email filled with positivity, suggestions and links to remind you that your life is what you make it, and by taking steps to enjoy each moment that comes to you, whether it is expected or not, you will find your soul calmed and your decisions easier. I can't guarantee that the emails will change your life, that's a big task for a few lines on a screen, but they will remind you to step back from the chaotic reality you are creating for yourself, take the reins of control back from your negative mind, and step forward into a more positive, enjoyable life.

What can I expect?

Signing up for these things can feel pointless. The most common thing people think is "Am I going to get a load of emails that I won't want to open?" We hope that you do, obviously, that the information, suggestions, links and pictures will lift your mood and make space in your head for the daily grind of emotion, confusion and planning that all our days are filled with. The title of each email will be a positive mantra, so even if you don't have time to open it right then, there will be a daily, single line reminder to take it a little bit easier, right there on your screen every single day.

Each email will have a suggestion for dealing with life positivity, reminders of why it's so important to take time out to rest and revive your mind, and the occasional link to relevant and interesting online content that will add momentum to your search for a happier, more relaxed life.

The Relaxing Club launches on 1st  September, 2015.
