"Oh, will you please relax?" Has anyone ever said this to you? Maybe you were in the middle of a stressful situation. Maybe you had a lot of responsibilities. Maybe you were letting someone get to you.
No matter what is happening, it is important to realize that relaxing is a vital part of a healthy lifestyle. It can be a wise practice for body, mind, and spirit.
Some people, due to their personalities, find it easier to relax than others. Have you ever heard of someone being "wound too tight"? That usually refers to someone who lives on edge or has a tendency to let things get to him or her. That is not always a bad thing, as people like that also may be more willing to take action or make changes, while a very easy-going person may not accomplish goals as easily.
No matter what your natural tendencies, it is important for you to find ways to relax.
In honor of Relaxation Day, let's consider some ways that you can work this important habit into your life.
