True Recovery Requires Relaxation After Stress

"For every time in stress, you need a recovering time in relaxation." _Emmett E. Miller M.D.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to have met so many great people this year! In wrapping up the month of May and beginning Summer, I find myself in quiet reflection. This month has been like a storm of activity, complete with a tempestuous whirlwind of end-of-the-year testing, class parties to attend, and awards ceremonies. But even when events are joyous, they can be stressful!

Did you know that the human body cannot distinguish between good stress and bad stress? It's true! The human body during stressful activities only knows that it is being required to work more! Remembering to find time to relax has always been a weak point for me. Like so many others I know, I often find myself engaged in a host of activities that require me to get up and go or burn the proverbial candle at both ends. Yet, I know that finding time to relax is necessary for recovery. We must all find time to place our lives back in balance.

Take some time today to observe the subtle nuances of life. Smell some roses. Sleep in a little. Find your ebb and flow, and allow yourself to just be! Your body, mind, and soul will say "Ahhh".

Happy beginning of Summer 2015! Have fun, enjoy life, remember to breathe deeply, live smarter, and feel better!

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your day today! I look forward to our next visit!
