Many people feel victimized by stress. But relaxation can reverse the ill effects of stress by helping you learn to respond differently. The key is to practice relaxing regularly. If you take time during your workday for a 15-minute massage, a lunchtime yoga class, or simply breathing slowly and deeply for several minutes, you’ll let go of stress buildup and start to relax. If you make this a regular habit, you can retrain your mind to stay balanced in the face
of stress. So this month get an extra massage, take a yoga class every single week, or start that meditation practice again. Your heart will thank you!
Stress and worry seem to be a habit. I find myself worry about things that I really have no control over! I’ve been doing that for so long, I do it without thinking. I’ve been practicing some of these techniques and they do work. I guess it’s just a matter of developing new habits.
