Taking time to relieve stress makes a enormous difference in ones daily life. One of the best ways to relieve stress and enjoy your day is to find a quiet place where you can spend a few minutes alone. I enjoy sitting on the patio or going down by a stream or body of water and just watching the nature that surrounds me. Listen to the water, hear the birds chirp and enjoy the beauty with your eyes.
Take a few minutes breathe. Nice slow deep breaths and enjoy the moment. Concentrate on your breathing. (Close your eyes if it's easier for you to concentrate). You do not have to OVER- EMPHASIZE your breathing, just be aware of your chest rising up and down.
Feel your body start to unwind. Your shoulders are becoming relaxed and you are no longer tense. Don't think of anything else apart from your breathing. If you feel that your mind is racing with all that needs to be done, recognize this by looking at “WHAT” your mind is thinking and your thoughts will dissolve. Do this for a several minutes. It will become easier and easier with each practice. You will find positive results over a short period of time.
Once you do this, you will find more time to enjoy this exercise and put it into practice every day. This could enhance the way you view and respond to obstacles and challenges in your life and relieve you of the stresses that push you OVER the TOP.
Enjoy your LIFE to the FULLEST along with the CHALLENGES you face day to day!
