DON’T WORRY! TAKE IT EASY!

We say all this things to balance our emotions and gain strength. But it is not easy as it seems. So, what is the answer? We cannot go and a desert island. There are lots of things we can do of course. We can take more exercise. We can eat less, smoke less, we can have a well-organized rest.

But perhaps the most important things we can do is to learn to relax stress grows very slowly. It is made up all the little things that make us tense, day after day, year after year. Every time we relax, every time we put our feet up, every time we have a cup of tea and a chat with an old friend we take away some of the tension that causes stress.

Americans worry about relaxing. They take classes to learn how to relax. They read books that tell them how to “take it easy”. Relaxing is a multi-dollar industry in the USA. So, why not master this skill and do it on your own (without paying much money)? But before you start think of what doctor say nowadays, “Too much relaxation is bad for you too.”
