Calming Down
Know your limits. You will know how much stress your body can tolerate when life’s challenges and demands are beyond your ability to cope. Your body must return, daily and weekly, to a state of calm. Simplify your life in order to reduce stress to a minimum. Take up relaxing and enjoyable hobbies. Take time to be in nature in order to get sunshine and fresh air. Sleep at least eight and a half hours per night. Avoid caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, and recreational drugs; they disrupt your body’s equilibrium. Do not take yourself too seriously.
How or where do you find calm in the midst of it all?
