Learning to Relax

17th January, 2010 - Posted by YoungWithMS - No Comments

Go soft focus, and don’t addle yourself about tomorrow. By letting yourself relax today, even forgetting (to whatever extent you can) that you have MS, you’ll rejuvenate yourself and feel stronger for the week ahead. So, sip a cup of tea and let go. There will be plenty of time to worry about things tomorrow, but for now, be yourself and relax. Many of us have forgotten the simple virtue of relaxation. Think of your diagnosis as your opportunity to relearn what generations before us took for granted as part of a healthy life—the ability to enjoy simple, quiet moments while sitting with a friend, whittling, knitting, quilting, gardening, mending, or simply sitting still. Remember relaxing is all about being idle without really being idle. Here are a couple of examples that might help you relax. 1) If you have children, play with them. Spending time with a niece, nephew, or the child of friend is also a great way to forget about your troubles. 2) Go to the movies. 3) Watch a sporting event. 4) Go to the museum 5) Read a the bible or your favorite book. 6) PRAY 7) Light aromatherapy candles. Pick your favorite scent wether or not it promotes peacefulness.  There are so many other ways to relax. Be imaginative. No matter how you choose to relax, bask in the moment. Remember to smile and enjoy life. Take Care and God Bless.

Smiles, Jennifer
