Stay Healthy by Taking it Easy
Tel 17 Jul 2010 | : healthy lifestyle
The last few posts have covered everything from exercising, keeping fit and diet to weight loss and all that entails, so in this post I want to take a break from all that and take a look at the quieter side of life. There are many ways of staying healthy and they do not all involve frenetically working out or sweating away over a hot treadmill. In fact, I do believe that now is the time for something completely different!
Take it easy!
Yep, I’m serious. With all the exercise you’re doing and couple that with maybe doing a stressful job, looking after a home, maybe kids as well – it all takes it out of you and by the time you collapse into bed at the end of the day, you’re exhausted!
So don’t get exhausted – take a little time out for yourself and just chill. If you can reserve half an hour a day to do absolutely nothing it will do you the world of good. You can do whatever you choose in that time, but you must NOT sit in front of the TV! That’s out as it does not relax you – on the contrary it stresses your system whether you are watching ads which are bombarding your subconscious to buy this or that piece of crap that you don’t really want, or its a suspense filled episode of whatever that will just wind you up. The news is no better as it is always bad news which is depressing – so TV is out!
Better to be in a quiet place (switch off the phone too) where you won’t be disturbed an either learn meditation or do some light yoga (the type where you don’t actually exercise or stretch) breathing exercises and clear your mind of all the clutter.
I guarantee that you’ll feel better for it!
