Relieve Your Stress
Life is complex, with distractions, challenges and opportunities.
Stress is simply your emotional response to what occurs in your
life. Follow for 30 days this structured technique for 5 minutes
twice per day, at about 6.00 AM and 6.00 PM to improve
effectiveness in your life.
Sit comfortably in a straight back chair with your back and
spine in an upright position perpendicular to the floor. (or sit
in a lotus position with an erect back and spine posture). Relax
with your hands uncrossed.
Close your eyes, take three deep breaths, and then breathe normally:
1. Observe your breathing without changing it.
2. Become aware of the space your body occupies, but continue
observing your breathing.
3. Be conscious of the chair you are sitting on.
4. Be conscious of where your feet meet the floor.
5. Be conscious of the upright posture of your back, all the time
observing the rhythm of your breathing.
6. Be aware of the air passing through your nostrils, as you breathe
in, and you breathe out.
7. During this breathing process, thoughts will arise. Do not fight
these thoughts, but gently, and innocently observe your breathing.
At the end of the exercise sit quietly for 15 seconds, and then
open your eyes slowly and gently. You will now be feeling relaxed,
and will be more confident to take on your challenges.
It is important to quiet on a daily basis the swirling thoughts that occupy your mind. This technique is as important to the servicing of your mind, as servicing your car is important for its proper functioning.
