My BEST TIPS to RELAX ALREADY
1 May
Hooray for MAY!
April was National Stress Awareness Month… which frankly was rather stressful.
Remembering to breathe and all that nonsense. Geez, what a chore!
My BEST TIPS to RELAX ALREADY
- Have coffee (for the beans) in the a.m. and red wine (for the antioxidants) in the p.m.
- Eat quality dark chocolate daily in amounts larger than your cell phone but smaller than your head.
- When feeling anxious, play with something small and furry… maybe a cat or dog or ? Use your imagination.
- Smile effortlessly ’til it hurts.
- Help someone else… unless it involves excessive blood loss or advanced calculus.
- Help someone else help you. Particularly satisfying! Requires an appreciation for manipulation, or as most successful leaders refer to it – motivation.
- Laugh for no reason ’til you develop TMJ or until you are shunned by family, friends, and lonely strangers on the street.
- Instead of an onerous work-out in the gym, take a nap with a pair of earplugs and a gas mask.
- Don’t drink green tea unless you love green tea. You know it and I know it – sometimes it tastes like expensive hand soap.
- Have your kids and spouse write a gratitude list. Hopefully you’ll be mentioned now and then. This will make you feel good. Then request a massage… if they are truly grateful, they will comply.
