What does it mean to relax? This last few days of school before the start of the summer vacation, I had a student who was about to fail the class due to lack of work (I passed the student anyway because I know, one way or the other the student learned something from the class). Quite several times the student and let's call her "Maria" (not her real name) to "chill out" in a comic
and positive manner whenever I ask for her work. She always five a "blablabla" explanation and I will just shrug my shoulders as a nonverbal expressions of frustrations of her work habits. Her message to me was to "relax" and "chill out." She was right! Relax :)

Although there are many causes of stress from outside circumstances, most stress management is easily within your control. Lack of exercise, poor diet, and persistent negative thinking are the most prevalent ongoing causes of stress.

Here’s what you can do.

1. Be grateful. Focus on the good things in your life.

2. Exercise regularly. Physical activity is not just for better health and weight control. The endorphins produced during exercise can also greatly reduce stress and help you feel really, really good.

3. Let it go. Chill out. Sometimes procrastination can do wonders.

4. Laugh it off. No matter what, keep your sense of humor.

5. Slow down. Pay attention to how you feel. If you’re pushing yourself too hard, cut back or simplify wherever possible. Be selfish and take good care of yourself.

6. Rest, relax and breathe. When life gets too tough, realize “this too shall pass.” Take a deep breath, meditate, take a walk, take a bath or take a nap.

7. Eat and drink healthy. Stress seems to bring on junk food cravings.Only put things in your mouth that will keep you healthy and levelheaded.

Rest Relax Breathe . . . A great mantra to apply...

Relax and read...


So I recommend the enjoyment of life, for there is nothing better on earth for a person to do except to eat, drink, and enjoy life. So joy will accompany him in his toil during the days of his life which God gives him on earth. -Ecclesiastes 8:15

Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble. When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. - Proverbs 3:23-24
