We don’t just eat food. We also get nourishment from activities, relationships, etc. We sometimes need to work on a balance of helpful and not so helpful activities and relationships.
These days, we have too many obligations, expenses, and stressors. So we seek out alone time. Unfortunately, as we are so connected by devices, we spend a lot of that time on the computer, TV or smart phone. Sometimes that just adds more stress. Then some of us head for the fridge or the chicken wing bar or the frozen yogurt stand, or a six-pack.
Here are two tips for more enjoyment:
- Make time for healing by doing a body rub, and a nature walk every day
- Eat less, and chew more. Then chew on a hobby you enjoy, or a relaxing book or song
Stress reduction is so important in our health. It is also something we need to teach our children. Especially in these times of high competition, and worry about domestic and world events.
Enjoy your weekend!
