If you love hosting a good night because lots of alcohol and loud music events can sometimes be replaced by an amazing evening weaved into deep, mindful conversations, trust me, it’s possible. And I am not saying this just to please you all but believe me, when your body is comfortable and completely at ease, your mind finds it very easy to unwind and chat with people around, and that too effortlessly, and not just chatter. You can talk about your emotions, funny, lighthearted stuff, scary, inspirational stories, or anything under the sun. It is chuckle-worthy and also inspirational! But let’s be real, in this world where nothing is easy, how can sitting in a state of complete relaxation and peace be easy? This is when one has to set up the environment in such a way that relaxation flows through easily into the atmosphere.
One way of creating a relaxed place that is primed and ready for conversation is having a hot tub strategically placed in your backyard. Let’s help you have some great nights with even better conversations by creating your own little relaxation spot!
Creating Prime Real Estate For Relaxation: A Step-By-Step Guide
- Pick a Spot: You know you want a hot tub! Now, all you have to do is find a place to put it – like, say, that backyard you never use
- Deck It Out: Now it’s time to put things that compliment your hot tub, like a fire pit and a seating area. Spaces that allow people to come together in a relaxed way
- Lighting Matters: Consider adding some LEDs or candles
- Add Aromatherapy: Essential oils or planting some herbs in the garden will really set people at ease.
How Hot Tubs Create A Relaxed Space That Is Perfect For Conversation
A Shared Experience
When you’re in a hot tub with someone else, you’re not just sharing the same water with them — you’re sharing space, and on some level — you’re wearing next to nothing as the water is soothing your muscles and massaging you all over. This creates a level of openness and calm that makes it easy to open up.
Natural Conversation Flow
No one can be anxious in a hot tub. And when you are not anxious and are comfortable with the people around you, it is easy to have conversations that flow easily!
Encouraging Vulnerability
There’s something about hot tubs that serves as a gateway to vulnerability. Maybe it’s the soothing water or the beautiful surroundings that help to relax people and get them to open up. Because people aren’t surrounded by external distractions and are in close proximity to one another — space feels safe and people start to share more.
A Break from Technology
We live in a digital age where we are all accustomed to being hit with notifications, emails, and messages. Enclosed areas where you are meant to sit back and relax, like a hot tub, provide an exit from the rest of the world. When you don’t have a phone or a computer at hand, you talk with purpose.
Conversations Flourishing in Unique Relaxation Spaces
Enclosed areas where you are meant to sit back and relax, like a hot tub, are the place to have good conversations. People are encouraged to sit back and talk, have deep conversations, and just speak with someone. A shared space + no devices + proximity with people = being able to share what’s on your mind. Simply put – a relaxed atmosphere makes it easier to talk.
