Relax

In our busy and stressful lives we need to find ways to relax. Faced with work places that are getting more and more hostile we have to decompress.

With a recent visit to the Doctors my man was told that he needs to lower his blood pressure and lose weight. How can this be done? One activity, walk the dogs. Play with your dogs. Yes petting your dog, cat, or bunny lowers your blood pressure. Walking the dogs is good for you and good for them. The whole family comes back happy and relaxed.

Other things, praying and meditating also lower your blood pressure. The deep breathing with both gives you more oxygen to your body and your blood. So stop and take a deep breath and hold it then slowly let go. We need it, this if often done in Pilate's classes.

There is also bike ridding. Sure there is gym membership, I try to talk about things that don't cost a lot of money. Why add stress of another monthly bill?

There is so much out there that makes us stressed. Some stress is good, it helps to keep us on our game. Overstressed is more what I talking about, aren't we all there? The summer is still here and we still have beach days. picnics in the part and BBQ's with friends to help us all relax. Go get some fresh air, take a deep breath and relax!
