It’s that time of year when life can start feeling a bit overwhelming and things can get a little hectic. With the holidays, family, gift giving, or just preparing for the new year, the next couple of months are fun but typically high in stress. So to help you unwind and relax, here are some tried and true ways you can kick back and enjoy yourself amidst all the chaos that comes this time of year.
I recommend Chena Hot Springs, you can get in some Northern Lights viewing and unwind with a drink at their ice bar.
In fact, take a hot yoga class. There is no better way to relax your body AND warm you up on a cold winter day.

I know line dancing doesn't seem relaxing, but just getting out there and repeating that same jig over and over can really help you unwind. I recommend KBEAR Country Night at Eddies Sports Bar, it's a lot of fun and you'll feel way less stressed afterward.

Even if you don't have a furry companion, it's still a pleasant way to relax and unwind by taking a lap around your local dog park. Dogs are happy animals and I promise their good mood will rub off on you.
I suggest Alyeska Resort and Spa or even Lands End Resort in Homer.

Visit the Whales Tail at the Captain Cook in Anchorage for an AWESOME wine tasting experience. There are machines all around the lobby so you can try all different types of wine on your own terms. Bonus, if it's a weeknight and there is hardly anyone seated they will have one of the hotel workers play the piano in the lobby creating a very relaxing atmosphere for you and your date.
Bundle up and go for an nice long walk at the twilight hour. Christmas lights will be coming on and trees will be in everyone's windows. A neighborhood stroll is the best way to unwind.
Nothing better than a warm beverage in your hands and good company.

There is nothing more relaxing then spending some time at your local book store. Okay, READING may be a little bit more relaxing, so find a book and sink in!
Relax by the fire, read a good book, watch Netflix for all I care, but just plan to do nothing at home for an entire day.
