Stress it Out
There is nothing better than escaping from computer work, ringing telephones and constant miscellaneous chatter, to a place of peace and relaxation. This place of relaxation is different for everyone; it could be driving home from work, relaxing at home with your favorite television show or book, going for a walk or just sitting outside. Each place allows us to breath a bit lighter and simply relax, which is something that many of us could say we’d like to do more of. It seems anymore that our lives are controlled my cause and stress, which is not my idea of a long fulfilling life. So I have decided to spend more time in my favorite places, which obviously would be the outdoors. When I go outside what I may do at that time varies greatly depending on the day. Sometimes I just sit and watch the wind move the trees, others I may look for what animals may be wondering around the area, but more times than any I fall asleep on my favorite swing. The best part is that I can do a lot of that in my backyard. I have also notice I enjoy spending more time out in late summer/ fall right when the weather turns from hot and humid to cool and the cicadas are playing a therapeutic sound, one ending as another begins. It’s funny but as soon as I hear the first cicadas in the late summer I know that fall is on its way and I get outside and enjoy it.
Getting outside is also a great way to let your kids see seasonal changes such as when the cicadas starting singing and when fall is coming. You only live once why not try something new you never know if it will end up turning into your place to alleviate your stress and make new memories
