Wednesday's homework

Relaxation.

This exercise is designed to help the body relax.

1. Find a comfortable position. (either sitting or lieing on the floor)
2. Starting from the top or the bottom of the body, tense up each muscle group separately for 4 to 10 seconds, then take 10 to 20 seconds to relax and release that tension.

e.g.
Face -- close eyes tightly and scrunch face then relese
Shoulders --- shrug, hold and relese
Chest ---inhale, hold breath and release

and so on...


If you have any feedback, please comment.

Have a great day! Smiler


Thanks!

I read once where everyone in the world should lay down after lunch and take a nap; we'd all be a lot happier and more ready to deal with life as it comes to us. Relaxation is a short nap for me...thanks for the snooze...it's great!


It's never too late to get it right.

A deck chair by the pool, in the sun. 'nuff said. Big Grin


Life is like a roller coaster, with lots of ups and downs, but the curves, spirals, loops and corkscrews are what make life interesting.
