After a long day of work, errands and outdoor activities, you just want to wind down and relax. Everyone has their own way of relaxing. For some, it's reading a good book, listening to their favorite playlist or sipping on a glass of wine.
But if you want to add something unique and calming to your evening routine, shisha is your go-to.
Shisha, also known as hookah, is not only used in public or social gatherings. It can also be incorporated into your wind-down routine and help you enjoy your personal downtime better.
Why Shisha Fits Into a Relaxing Routine
The essence of smoking shisha is to enjoy its slow and flavorful effect. The whole process from preparing the bowl to lighting the coals to taking your first smooth puff is therapeutic. Then the fragrant clouds of smoke are also a sight to behold.
So, you could enjoy shisha on your balcony alone or share it with a close friend. Shisha creates a chill vibe where there’s no rush, no noise, just pure vibes.
How Do You Create The Right Environment
Creating the right atmosphere sets the mood for everything. You want your space to feel calm and relaxing. You can set up soft lighting or candles. Add in some comfy seating like floor cushions and you’re good to go.
If you’re outside, it’s even better. You enjoy the fresh air and a beautiful view of the night sky. But if you want to remain indoors, just ensure the room is well-ventilated so that it won’t affect breathing.
To cap it all, play your favorite playlist in the background to make the experience more euphoric.
Pick the Right Flavor for the Mood
Your choice of flavour also determines how much you enjoy the session. If you want something refreshing go for mint or citrus. And if you just want to stay relaxed, go for a smooth, grape, vanilla or herbal blend flavour.
There’s no limit to how much you experiment with shisha flavours. Try mixing flavours to create your own personal flavour. And don’t forget to stay hydrated. Tea, fruit mocktail or even cold water works when you’re enjoying your shisha session.
Make It Part of a Bigger Routine
Shisha doesn’t have to be the only part of your wind-down, you can complement it with other rituals. So when you light your pipe:
-
Journal about your day
-
Watch a cozy show
-
Listen to a chill podcast
-
Or just sit in silence and reflect
It’s not just about smoking, it’s about enjoying yourself what you’re normally used to.
Bonus Tip
Like with anything, moderation is key. Enjoy shisha occasionally, stay hydrated and keep your setup clean. It’s meant for your relaxation, not to weigh you down. Keep it fun.
Conclusion
Adding shisha to your wind-down routine isn’t about forming a habit, it’s about enjoying the thrill and chill of what relaxation means. Next time you want to relax, consider lighting a bowl and watch your stress dissipate in the air, lost in a thick cloud of shisha smoke.
