I think it all starts with recognizing that something is not quite right, or that something will not be right VERY soon...(And this is a great beginning towards your degree in counseling :)!) Like the Internet as 'stress relief', running non stop as a definition of 'really living' is a lie that too many of us buy into...Thanks for the reminder that taking time to rest is very legitimate: so much so that God made it a point to command it!Patynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-317019853318228654.post-35995191064053329802012-07-29T16:27:46.176-07:002012-07-29T16:27:46.176-07:00All good ideas, Alina!

I make it a point to go at least 5 times a week and it has been so restorative for me.Tami Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13270751386180642544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-317019853318228654.post-13127908477422102122012-07-29T11:40:02.981-07:002012-07-29T11:40:02.981-07:00Great advice, Rabia!

Something about the lovely outdoors really soothes the soul.

Even sitting out on the deck with a soothing cuppa, enjoying the birds and flowers and butterflies, for ten minutes is a great stress-reliever. <br /><br />I've always needed a lot of downtime. I knew that about myself early on. The thing is, though, that I often fill it with Internet-related stuff and that is ultimately not relaxing at all.Rabiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304609757116192709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-317019853318228654.post-23830952778277540842012-07-29T02:58:22.504-07:002012-07-29T02:58:22.504-07:00Love it!
