Stress. It has the
ability to undermine, cripple, and pretty much ruin our lives – if we let it. I admit that there have been days when I just
wanted to crawl into a hole and stay there for a few centuries, but as we all
know, life stops for no one, which is why I have found it essential to incorporate
the following tension relieving activities into my daily routine.
MOVE YOUR BODY –
The practitioners at the
EarthMind Wellness Center have told me that a gentle
shake or vibration of the body can quickly help you to let go of mounting
stress by loosening up muscles and joints and increasing circulation, and I
couldn’t agree more!
TAP YOUR BODY – Tapping your body, especially in the areas where your
stress is gathering, can help you to lighten your energy and reground yourself. Emphasizing soft exhales can also help send
new energy to the areas you are focusing on.
BREATHE DEEPLY – After
giving your body a gentle shake or tapping, take a few minutes to just
breathe. Trust me, as you turn your
attention inwards and draw in deep mindful breaths you will feel your mind and body
relax as the tension just drifts away.
