Sometimes mismatched socks do the trick. |
1.
Three minutes jumping on a trampoline. No
trampoline? Use the bed…bouncing is fun. It is like being a kid again. Before bills, career stress, having to think about things like schedules and insurance.
2.
Two minute handstand. Can’t do a handstand? Use
the same bed as above, lay on your belly by the edge and where you hinge forward,
press your hands to the floor, keep your neck relaxed, and the crown of the
head off the floor. Let your neck muscles relax. Let ideas and thoughts pool right outside that little cranium of yours. You're upside down...see number one, it's kinda like being a kid.
3.
Pour a tall glass of water. Close your eyes.
Relax the muscles of the face. Drink with gratitude for clean water, your body, the phone that's not ringing, or the email that might be in your inbox. Whatever it is, drink in appreciation. Cheers!
4.
Step outside. Close your eyes. Relax the muscles
in your scalp, neck and abdomen. Listen. Breathe.Open your eyes what do you see? The horizon? The mailbox? Birds fluttering around? Or do you see your castle and realm, a field of potential or a striped elephant with a flower in its trunk?
5.
Seek out scent. Lavender has relaxing qualities
while lemon has uplifting…no lavender or lemon nearby? Smell some flowers,
bake some cookies, stick your nose in a bough of pine needles, inhale what pleases you.
