Let's Relax!

Do you always feel like you don't have the time to relax? Relaxing your body is precious. It's one of those things you take for granted until you don't have it. And you know that if you don't have enough rest, your stress levels will increase and your productivity will drop, eventually what will happen to you? Eventually your health can deteriorate! When you fail to get enough rest, it is very difficult for your body to keep up with the daily wear and tear that is part of life. Lack of rest also seems to be hard on the heart. At least the heart shows up often when a person hasn't had the rest that he or she needs. It certainly takes it’s toll on the nervous system and brain.

Maybe some of you think that relax is only sitting on a sofa and eating pop corns or chips while watching television or rest or relax is only to sleep on your bed. There are a lot of things you can do to relax your body and mind. Let's try this:-

• Sit or recline in a comfortable position in a quiet place where you won't be disturbed.
• Release whatever thoughts come up.
• Close your eyes unless there's a good reason not to do so, such as driving or walking.
• Experience the technique for at least 5 minutes, then extend the time as you become more comfortable with it. Then if you start feeling comfortable, keep your eyes closed and just sit quietly and without effort for two to three minutes. Allow yourself to come out of the relaxation gradually before opening your eyes and resuming your activities.
• Relax daily and when you're feeling out of balance or frustrated. Even 2 or 3 minutes can be helpful.

I always do this whenever my stress is spiraling out of control and it really works!
