Slow Down While Still Keeping Pace

Many of us live fast. Texting, emailing, social networking, and multitasking are such a part of life that is hard to filter out whether you are at work or home. As well, there is a constant tech buzz of pop-ups, eblasts, junk emails, and event notifications that numb the sensibilities.

This increased busyness, along with activities and obligations, often mean you don't have a solid moment to yourself. Often you are more tired than you realize, but you don't take the time to slow down.

The priority to unwind comes after your responsibilities. Self-neglect can impact you in every way possible. It can drive the habits of bad eating, poor sleep, and a stressful lifestyle. In the believe that if you push yourself harder, do more, spend an extra hour at the gym you are nurturing yourself is really just the opposite.

Stillness, pause, quietude, and rest can be the real catalyst to better health. Get genuine rest-different from sleep-and rejuvenation. Use easy and powerful techniques that utilize breath and visualization to promote deep relaxation of the nervous system. These quick techniques can be used at work or any time during your day. Take a minute for yourself and reap the benefits of feeling relaxed and balanced.
