Relaxation Response

Someone one mentioned that we don't seem to relax enough. Take me for instance. I know most of the time on weekends and holidays, I'm never the kind of guy who likes to settle down. I'm always getting off my feet with an urge to get out and do something. It's not that I wouldn't enjoy lying down in bed for awhile; I just always feel like doing something.

Even when there's nothing to do or nothing planned, I'm always trying to do something. Instead of just laying around staring at the wall, I can be reading a book or walk on a tread mill. Play on my Wii system once in awhile or even blog on my computer. At least I'm doing something or at least make plans for myself. In fact, just one phone call and I would be over at a friends house having fun.

But someday, maybe there will come a time to settle down. It's not the most exciting course of action for any day, I hardly enjoy it. But just kicking back and relaxing is like allowing a computer to charge or a cell phone. Instead of overworking the system, give it time to charge and just relax. 

Mrs. Stoklosa is right about relaxation, we don't have enough of it. Let nature take it's course, chill out for awhile, and even fluff that pillow a bit. take a chance to reboot, and you'll be well rested for a new day. Just don't spend your time like a couch potato because that's just being lazy. Until next time, break a leg.
