This afternoon I tried a relaxation exercise and found that it put me into a better mood once I was finished. I had come home from grocery shopping and was about to prepare dinner (taco's for those that are interested). I was feeling a bit stressed by my youngest how happens to now be 12 years of age. I sat in my chair and started the exercise. I closed my eyes and followed along. I do have to say that I was half hearted at first because of all that I had going on today. By the middle of the exercise I was feeling the stress leave my body and was really focusing on my arms and hands pulling the blood from my core and moving it to my extemeties. I felt warmth and heaviness and I began to relax. As I continued to focus on my breathing I felt my stress leaving as I began to relax. After the exercise I stretched and felt like I had a second wind. Taking time out to take care of ourselves is extremely important and sometimes in our busy, hectic lives we tend to forget to show a little love to ourselves. This is a great exercise and one that I will repeat.
Jonathan.
