“HoW CaN i ReLaX wHeN i FeEl ThIs WaY?!!”


Feeling like this lately??

Living a healthy life means feeling emotionally strong. These days we, as individuals lead such busy lives that even 24 hours feel short in a day! Hectic work and home lives have caused us to have a lot of STRESS in our lives. How we deal with stress is a completely different matter. So, I thought it would be beneficial to have a set of classes which explain what stress is and how to manage it. If you are interested, then just like this post or leave a comment. Here is what the classes will comprise of.

  1. CLASS 1: What is Stress? The physical and emotional responses to stress.
  2. CLASS 2: Identifying the sources.
  3. CLASS 3: Unhealthy ways of coping with stress.
  4. CLASS 4: Dealing with stress: the four ‘A’s.
  5. CLASS 5: How you can use fun and relaxation to combat stress.
  6. CLASS 6: How different foods can help you fight stress.

Classes begin tomorrow…Learn how to de-stress your life and to enjoy it to the fullest!!

SMALL PACKAGES OF JOYS


 Today while having my cup of coffee, I was standing by the window. Looking down from my condo window, I saw a car-parked by this little garden we have enclosed. Nothing to be jumping around for…I agree. But all of a sudden, I saw a small puppy run towards the car, stand up on its two tiny legs, look through the window of the car and run out into the garden again. The puppy did this for as long as the owner did not put it back in the car and drive away. Seeing that from my condo window brought a smile to my face and now while writing this, I am smiling again.

Tip for the day from MyHealthIm: Don’t wait for big things to happen to bring a smile to your face. Enjoy the small things in life, it will feel more fuller and satisfying.

Here is a list of a few things that bring a smile to my face (and many more would be added!)

  • When my husband empties the dishwasher for me in the morning. Always a surprise for me and brings a sweet smile.
  • Receiving a smile from a stranger for no reason. (There is no reason to think that there is something wrong with you…this is where our mind automatically goes to). Smile at someone…you just might make someone else’s day.
  • While walking to work and enjoying the Christmas decorations on the way. Such a joyous moment…how can you not enjoy it?
  • Seeing the fall colors recently. Many associate it with “Old Man Winter” and feel sad but I was just enjoying the bright colors of the leaves.
  • Receiving a hug from someone dear to you. Instead of thinking “what is up with you today?” Just embrace it and enjoy.
  • I love the rain..so when it rains, I just feel very happy.
  • Enjoying that dessert like there was no tomorrow….hmmm…makes me want to have one now!
  • Finding that extra money where you least expect to.

A small list of things that has recently made me smile. We all lead busy lives and forget the small moments of happiness that just pass us by. I believe we all should take a moment, stop and look around…put down those phones which have us under their “spells” and enjoy the small things in life. I created my list today, maybe you can start creating your own.
