It's time
to relax. |
| |
| It's
very easy to forget to relax during our hectic days and
nights, during the time when we're constantly trying to
get things done. So many of us are spending so much
time on our jobs and our extra tasks in life that we tend
to forget to slow down and reassess what we're doing and
why. |
|
|
| So
take a deep, slow breath. No, really--go
ahead. Take a deep, slow breath, taking in as much
air as you can as slowly as you can. Feel your lungs
fill, and then hold the breath for five to ten seconds. |
|
|
| Let
your breath out slowly, feeling the stress leave your body
as you exhale. The hurry and the stress can ride out
of your body and mind in the air that you breathe out, and
if you can allow your mind to focus on the breathing, you
can slow down those thoughts that are running around in
your mind at about a million miles an hour. |
|
|
| Take
in another deep breath, slowly and surely. Hold it
for five to ten seconds, then exhale slowly. . . . slowly.
. . . slowly. . . . |
|
|
| There
are many important things in your life that you need to
take care of, but if you take the time to relax and treat
yourself well, you will find that these few minutes of
relaxation can provide a huge benefit to you. |
|
|
| So
take another deep breath, very slowly, and hold it
in. Release it slowly and feel the tension leave
your body with the air. If you do this ten to
fifteen times, you'll find yourself feeling energized,
relaxed, and in a more positive state of mind. |
