It seems easy to think we'd take a moment to relax, de-stress, or enjoy a moment of peace. The reality is that most of us won't. Life is busy, and when times are tough, our mental, emotional, and/or physical needs get shoved to the bottom of our priority list.
So today make a point to do something relaxing. Your body needs a moment to de-stress-it's vital for your health and well-being.
The classic de-stress exercise is breathing-slow, controlled breathing with your eyes closed and no interruptions. Give yourself just two to five minutes to sit in a quiet area and breathe in a deeply though your nose and out through your mouth. Or take a bath. Or choose to sit outside and enjoy the beauty of nature. Whatever it is, decide on a tried-and-true method of relaxation, and plan it into your busy day.
