Find Ways to Relax

If you can’t find ways to relax during the day, try out a few of these.

• If your alarm clock sounds like an air raid, use an alarm (that you know you can wake up to) that’s more pleasant, like one that plays soft music and gradually gets louder.
• Swap your coffee for a mug of ginseng tea. It helps soothe anxiety.
• Take your dog for a 10-minute walk before you leave for work. Performing 10 minutes of exercise three times a day helps beat depression, improves mood and increases overall well-being.
• Eating a great breakfast from the start (great as in healthy!) will keep you from getting  irritated and jittery later in the morning.
• Crank up your favorite feel-good music in the car. Studies show listening to music helps reduce high blood pressure and elevated heart rates.
• Sit up straight and throw your shoulders back. Good posture helps you take in more oxygen and perform better during stressful activities.
• Get near a plant. If you work or sit near a plant, your blood pressure will likely be reduced.
• Eat three Hershey Kisses. Studies show consuming a small sugary snack can relieve stress and anxiety.
• Think acupressure. Use the thumb and index finger of one hand to squeeze the soft spot between the thumb and index finger of the other. Hold for three counts. Switch sides. Next: With thumb and index finger, gently squeeze each of your fingers all over. Use your thumb to rub each joint in a circular motion. Then hold each finger at its base and pull gently to stretch it, sliding your grip up the finger and off the tip.

Joke of the Day:

The first time my son was on a bike with training wheels, I shouted, “Step back on the pedals and the bike will brake!” He nodded but still rode straight into a bush. “Why didn’t you push back  on the pedals?” I asked,  helping him up. “You said if I did, the bike  would break.” (Reader’s Digest)
