Recent
research indicates that 75% of us
are experiencing too much stress.
Stress is often referred to as the
silent killer of the American culture.
High
blood pressure, chronic fatigue, tense,
tight muscles causing poor circulation
and tension headaches are just a few
of the symptoms of stress which contribute
to heart disease and premature aging.
We all
want the most out of life; living
each day to its fullest. But life
can often become drudgery, if we lose
touch with our lives and their special
meaning.
Very
often we just aren't felling very
well. We're run down, our vitality
is low and we may even find ourselves
feeling a bit depressed and emotionally
drained.
These
symptoms are the result of too many
stresses in our daily lives. We continue
in the same old patterns of living,
doing little or nothing to change
the way we react to these outside
forces that wear us down.
When
things get rough, we find ourselves
thinking, "I need to relax and
unwind. I need a vacation. I just
need to get away from it all. I'm
just getting to burnt out."
When
that long awaited vacation finally
arrives, how is it usually spent?
Running from here to there trying
to entertain ourselves. We find that
by the end of the vacation, when it's
time to get back into our daily routines,
we have not truly relaxed or renewed
ourselves; but rather, we are even
more run down than before we started.
So what's
the answer? Mental health professionals
advise us not to depend upon our annual
vacation as a cure-all that will put
our lives in order and put us back
on the right track.
They
do recognize the importance of "getting
away from it all," but suggest
rather that we take several "mini-vacations"
each year to get away from our old
routines and environment to reduce
stress levels and renew ourselves.
It is
not possible, or affordable, for everyone
to get away every couple of months
for a weekend away when we need it.

presentation of "A Yoga

alternative. What I have produce through
