End Work Related Stress
from: Mark AltmanFor many people, work is a stressful environment. Even worse,
sometimes the anxiety and stress of work follows you home and
saturates your thoughts in the evenings and on the weekends. One
of the most important part of any stress reducing plan is to
find a way to "shut off" thoughts of work after the day is done.
Try this short exercise Dr. Sarah Brewer suggests in her book,
"The Beginner's Guide To Relaxation".
The Inner Smile
This is a Chinese technique to help "shut off" stressful
thoughts.
After work, find a comfortable spot to sit, where you can feel
relaxed. Allow your body to sink into a relaxed state. Think of
an amusing part of your day, or anecdote you find amusing. Allow
yourself to smile. Feel the smile spread, and your face glow.
Let the glow spread throughout your body. Your entire being is
shining with the sensation of that smile. Give in to the feeling
of relaxation and calm, feel it flood your senses.
You've left the stress and worry of work behind. Enjoy the rest
of your day.
