Jay Says Relax

Today I am struck by the ability of people to rush from one thing to the next without resting in between. This may be seen as efficient and "Multi-Taskers" never seem to sit still.

The ability to relax and enjoy the moment is something that all people in our North American culture need to take to heart. Why do we rush? - so we can "Hurry up and enjoy life" on the weekends?

Let me tell you a secret: There are 7 days in a week and you need to relax in order to enjoy them all!

Many of my clients rush for 5 days then complain that the weekend is so short...The fact is that when the weekend hits they don't know how to relax so they barrel through it at 100 MPH and never stop to relax.

Here is what I tell my clients about relaxation:

You Don't need to be on a private beach in Bora Bora - but it helps.

Close your eyes and imagine (for the duration of 5 deep breaths) that you are sitting on a pristine beach in Bora Bora with a cold drink in your hand.

After your 5 breaths open your eyes and you will feel invigorated.

Repeat as needed.

Remember you still have responsibilities and need to get things done. Getting things done is always easier after a vacation - even if it is only a half minute long.

Till Next Time!
