Ways To Relieve Stress

Hi Sweetie,
As you've noticed, living has a way of producing stress. Most of it you can manage and bear. However, sometimes it all gets to be too much and you will need to take a time out or else you'll lose your sanity. You don't want to go there. Auntie's been there and that's no place for a human being. It's a good thing though, because now when I see crazy coming down the street I recognize it and avoid it like the plague.
Take a few minutes and do one or a few of the following activities:

Reflect on what's going right, your positives.

Blow bubbles

Watch a sunrise or a sunset

Meditate

"Meditation is acceptance.
It is the acceptance of life within us,
without us and all around us"
Sri Chinmoy

Do deep breathing exercises

Take a long bath or shower.

Listen to a relaxation tape.

Give of yourself, volunteer.



Fix yourself a cup of hot tea.

Write a letter to a friend

See a movie.

Window shop



Go to the park, sit under a shady tree or just lie back and
watch clouds

Take a cat nap.

Take a walk in the rain.

Take a long ride to nowhere in particular.

Weed your garden.

Begin a new hobby.

Catch up with a family member.

Have a good laugh.

Go for a swim.

Sing or whistle your favorite songs.

Work on a puzzle, write creatively, draw or paint a picture

Do something, just for you e.g put flowers in your space. Go for tulips or orchids.
