RELAXATION

Health Aid - Relaxation for Healing

The best way to tell you about the importance of relaxation is to show you what stress is doing to a lot of people. Consider this:

According to a National Health interview survey, 75% of people experience some stress at least once every two weeks. If you work, drive regularly, if you are a mom or dad; if you are in any relationship with another person, you are most likely among this group of regular stressors.

54% of Americans say they are concerned about the level of stress in their everyday lives.

As much as 62% of Americans say that work is a major source of stress in their lives.

Close to 12 billion dollars is spent yearly by Americans alone to try to cope with stress. This includes money spent on counsellinng, drugs of all kinds.

About 90% of sickness and disease is either caused by or made worse by severe stress.

Inexpensive Stress Control:
Eat well - Develope a taste for sensible foods that you also like to eat. We know good food is important to divine health, but you also have to enjoy it. You can do both.
Physical Activity - If you live a dormant inactive life, your body's systems will slow down much too soon and make it easier for you to be stressed and sick.
Relaxation - Finding a quiet time to unwind and detox your systems from all the things that made you angry, or things that did not fall in line with your values; or things that caused you to fail at something; or things that disappointed you greatly; or things you can add to this list.

Great Inexpensive Ways to Relax:

A moderate amount of wine regularly (preferably red wine) to loosen the nerves. Don't use this as an excuse to get drunk. Getting drunk will not serve any good purpose.

Spending time with people you love and who love you just as you are. That place "where everybody knows your name" - NBC Cheers TV Show.

Try forgiveness for all those who have wronged you greatly. This is a major source of destructive stress that many people can get rid of with a little work. It is'nt easy by any means but important and doable. You should be selfish here and do it for your health.

If you can afford it, travel is a great stress reducer. Just see how you feel after a good vacation away from home. Make time for travel.

Good relaxation can be acheived also through healing meditation.
