MORE GOOD RELAXATION TIPS YOU CAN PRACTICE EACH DAY


Our lives are busy and it can be hard to be forever concentrating on finding our center of peace.

By following just a few pointed tips each day, you can move towards a more balanced lifestyle. This can only mean more inner strength and relaxation -- and who doesnt want that?


> Set a time aside each day to relax!
- give yourself permission
- dont waste your time being exhausted.

> Carry a notebook everywhere you go!
- Jot down everything you need to do
- cross off as you do it
- Youll feel more in control.

> Get the amount of sleep you need each night!
- do something you love just before bed
- dab an essential oil on your pillowcase and temples
- use an eye pillow to help you drift off
- keep your heat turned low

> As soon as you arrive home from work take a break just for you!
- retreat; let someone else manage the dinner, the kids, etc.
- do something relaxing, purposeful, like yoga

> Do an open-eyed meditation exercise!
- gaze softly at a candle flame
- darken your room
- calm your mind
- Always bring your mind back to the candle
- You will feel warm and relaxed.

Now that you are wonderfully relaxed, do all you can to maintain that! When you step out from the bath dont immediately start to yell or argue.

If you have to, go to a place where you can just be for a while! Once you feel well energized and totally relaxed, dig in and begin your productive evening. Be on your toes and guard from becoming engaged in any activity that will cause you stress.




Have you ever wondered how your next-door neighbor was taking care of his stress, or perhaps you have wondered about how your childs third grade teacher was taking care of her stress?


Here are Three Random Examples of How Everyday People Deal with Stress:

1. Stand ready to reassess a misunderstanding with a colleague.
2. Don't let the behavior of unreasonable people get to me.
3. Take at least one good holiday a year.
4. Always keep an external focus by thinking about how my work can best help the greater population.
5. Always thinking ahead to plan for inevitable upsets as well as prepare for those high pressure events.
6. Try to see the funny side of life, at all times. (Even those awful times.)
7. I never drink, eat or shop to relieve stress.
8. I always cultivate a cohesive team at work. This means a successful team that takes pride in the results it achieves, has a high morale, and with less stressed individuals.
9. I always listen to a tape or mini-disc of favorite tracks and listen to it at times of high pressure.
10. I will close my eyes and replay my memory of a particular event that was most meaningful to me. I will replay this same event over and over.

Random Response #3


I am in love!

I expose myself to my favorite form of comedy and I have a good belly laugh for as long as possible.

I do a physical workout that makes me sweat hard for at least an hour, preferably two. The ensuing endorphin release makes me feel much less stressed.

I don't eat or drink to relieve stress, but a little herbal assistance is relaxing ... try some herbal essences in the bath.

I listen to music that makes me wonder at the beauty of it; the Ramones or Motorhead do it for me every time.

I go for some close contact stress relief ... I use some essential oils.

I strive to help someone who is having a hard time with something. Clich as it is, doing good stuff for other people relieves stress.

I mentally relive my happiest time, indulging in the actual feeling of the happiness experienced, not the reality of it being gone.

I go for a full body massage: darkness, mood sounds, aromatherapy etc, with joint clicking (Thai massage is good) lasting at least a full hour.

I indulge in the unconditional love of an animal companion.
