Are You Stressed?

[SandraC]

Hi all ~ I was just watching a TV show where a man was talking about how stressed most folks are these days. It made me think of when I was a little girl (30+ years ago) I heard that technology was going to help us RELAX. I remember the promise of a 4 day work week ~ instead most people work way too much. Technology should afford us the luxuries of life ~ we don't have to hunt for food or beat our clothing against rocks by a river. We have more and more conveniences that should give us TIME to enjoy life. Instead we work harder than ever and have less peace. I say USE the modern tools to TAKE IT EASY. Are you stressed? Go outside for a walk. Meditate. Spend time with the people you love. Give a gift to a stranger. Have FUN! PEACE. Namaste, Sandra

Sandra, you sound a lot like my physical therapist I've been going to this summer for my neck. He says a lot of my neck pain is provoked by stressful situations.

I have been really working hard (which is sort of stressful in itself!) to relax more and not worry about things, etc. It's been a whole retraining process for me because I'm very high strung!

give a gift to a stranger - right, that a sure way of making freinds with a physco

LOL! Good point.

Sandra, I've been highly stressed this week. I've found cleaning is a good stress reliever.

Yes! I have been highly stressed and overwhelmed with the kids starting school this week! I now have both dd's in school which I love, but all the paperwork, rules of the classroom, fundraisers, brownie/daisy just about did me in the last few days!

Nice thread.
