This may seem like a silly question but what is your zodiac sign?
I've noticed, even with my children, that when you try to use the elements associated with your sign when trying to chilax that it helps.
Fire signs, might enjoy a small campfire (everyone does) but someone of a fire sign will find it almost meditative. Candles, light a few (scentless if you have sensitivity to it) and sit in candle light while you ponder your day. if you stress at work and have an office space get one of those "flameless" candles or a family photo at the bonfire or something of the sort.
Air signs, you like the breeze against your face, you can sit outside (or by a fan) and it soothes you, try lighting some calming incense, wind chimes, if work is your place of stress get one of those little wind chime thingers that is like battery powered, they're small like 6 inches high.
Earth signs, you like the outdoors especially, you liked to play in the dirt and mud as a kid (mud pies were your specialty). You feel centered when your sitting in the woods, maybe rock climbing, rock gardens, get yourself a little sand garden and carve new designs daily, they have many sizes and some are portable so you can take it with you.
Water signs, you could sit in the shower for hours (if the hot water heater would let you), you like the trickle of a stream. i find the trickle of the fish tank to be relieving. if you have an office space or work is your stressor get a small waterfall thing, leave it going and you will notice a change.
Moon signs, you like to lay out and watch the stars, meteor showers, northern lights, all of the night time activity is there for you, embrace it.
Sun signs, soak it up, let the sun heal you (wear your sunscreen of course) but feel the sun filling you up with it's great energy and enjoy it's warmth.
Fire signs: Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius
Earth signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Air: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Water: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
I hope this might be able to help everyone out, it's simply an observation I've made through out my family/kids and myself. Nothing is "proven". My kids are earth and air, I'm water and the hubster is fire, so we have a little bit of everything. and from what I observe it's all pretty accurate.
Much love.
