Everything we do in life seems to cause stress: going to work; paying the bills; the kids; the dog. Don’t let it get to you. Schedule your time out.
On three different days this week, take ten minutes and go to a private place where you won’t be interrupted, maybe your bedroom or even close the door to your office. Be sure and turn off the phone! The world isn’t going up in flames if you take a little time for yourself.
Turn down the lights and lie quietly. Close your eyes. Start at your toes and relax every muscle in your body. Focus on every area, one at a time. Relax your toes, then your feet, your ankles, calves, and thighs. Work your way to the top of your head. Image your hair - no really - your hair relaxing.
Try to think of nothing but putting your body into total relaxation and breathe deeply for ten minutes. In just a few days, you’ll notice a change in your stress, your relationships with other people, even your posture.
