Things You'll Need:
- Hammock
- Pillow
- A good book or telescope
- Refreshments (optional)
- Folding table (optional)
- A little downtime to enjoy the hammock
-
Step 1
Set up your hammock if it is not already in place. For an outdoor hammock, do this on a nice day or night. If your hammock is indoors, you can enjoy it anytime you have a few free minutes.
-
Step 2
Occupy others around you, such as a spouse or children, with a movie or send them out for ice cream.
-
Step 3
Locate a pillow to rest your head in a position of comfort. If you plan to sleep, a flat pillow or even no pillow will work, depending on your preference. If you plan to read, a thicker pillow might be just the right choice.
-
Step 4
Get into some comfortable clothes. Whether a t-shirt and shorts or a tracksuit is your style, find something comfy. If you will be outdoors and insects such as mosquitoes are out, you may want to spray some repellent, or light a citronella candle away from your area of relaxation.
-
Step 5
Find a good book if you plan to read. For nighttime relaxation, you may want a telescope to look at the moon and stars.
-
Step 6
Bring a refreshments and folding table so you will not have to get up once you sit back and relax.
-
Step 7
Sit back and enjoy your moments of peace. Be careful to keep your balance so you do not end up relaxing on the ground instead.
