Let's continue from last week with the second benefit of relation. The human body is amazing and researchers into stress are discovering new things everyday. Did you know that stress decreases our ability fight inflammation. If our bodies can't fight inflammation we are at greater risk for getting sick. Did you ever wonder why that after working so hard for so long that when you finally take a break you get sick? Well it seems that stress is what caused that. So you need to find time to relax every day, if not at least each week set aside a day to do nothing but relax and rejuvenate yourself. Although there are benefits to stress, prolonged stress can be detrimental to our health.
So find time to relax today or tomorrow and enjoy that relaxation. It could be anything from reading a book, having a bath to going out with your significant other, four wheeling or rock climbing. Everyone is different in what they do for relaxation. Relaxing does not mean that you have to sit still in one position for hours on end. It just means that you need to unwind and leave the stresses of the work week behind and enjoy life. YOU ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE TO LIVE, YOU SHOULD ENJOY IT.
We all need to work to live, but we also need to live. Find that special joy that keeps you going and spend time with that joy no matter what it is. LIVE!
